Hybrid Composites Market Analysis & Forecast 2025-2031

Global Hybrid Composites Market is expected to reach USD 1742.37 million by 2031 with CAGR of 15.6 % between 2025 and 2031

Overview

The use of hybrid composites has grown significantly over the past decade. They are being considered as lighter, safer, and efficient materials in a variety of applications owing to their significant advantages over traditional steel and other injection molded parts. Today, the use of composites is not limited to luxury cars or sports cars; they are now making their way into the aerospace, automotive & transportation, marine, and construction industry. Growing stringent environmental regulations to curb CO2 emission, emerging low-cost composite grade, booming electric car industry is expected to boost the demand for hybrid composites in the automotive industry over the forecast period.  

A growing need for lightweight materials in the manufacturing of automobiles is a key driver for the growth of the Global Hybrid Composites Market. Globally automobile manufacturers are making use of lightweight materials for the production of body, chassis, and other important parts to increase performance and efficiency. However, high cost of the composite is a major restraining factor for the growth of the Global Hybrid Composites Market. Technological advancements in composite manufacturing, growing demand for hybrid composites in electric cars to decrease the weight, increase strength & durability of components is expected to offer new growth opportunities for the market in the forecast period.  

Resin, Fiber Types & Competitive analysis

Based on resin type, the market is segmented as thermoplastic, epoxy, phenolics, and polypropylene. Thermoplastic resins are gaining prominence in many industry sectors such as automotive, aerospace, construction, and marine applications. Thermoplastic resins account for the major chunk of the resin type segment it is expected to lead the market through the forecast period 2025-2031. These resins are extensively preferred for their lightweight, strength, and flexibility during product design.  

Glass/carbon, Aramid/carbon, Metal/plastic, and Wood/plastic are primary Fiber types considered in the research study. The glass/carbon segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2024. Glass/carbon composites are low-cost, lighter, stronger, and stiffer than other composites. Due to their unique mechanical properties, they are widely used in commercial applications. Growing demand for stronger lightweight materials with lower costs will propel the growth of the Glass/carbon composites segment in the forecast period.  

Competitive analysis included in research study helps users to understand key players market positioning and marketing strategies. On-going research in hybrid composites with the use of new materials and progress in terms of physical strength and performance of novel composites are offering several opportunities to the manufacturers and key stakeholders. Novel composites are being developed to be used in diverse sectors such as aerospace, automotive & transportation, marine, and the construction industry. Companies are focusing on the development of hybrid composites by using new materials and adopting synergistic approaches such as nanotechnology to bring new developments in the product offerings. For instance, in April 2019 GMC has launched a Sierra pickup truck with a carbon-fiber bed.  

Carbon-fiber bed weighs 25 % less as compared to steel-based beds in other similar Sierra pickup trucks, reducing weight by almost 60 pounds, which offers increased payload capacity and higher strength. In addition to developments in product offerings, many companies are focusing on strategic collaboration activities to increase their profitability and customer base. For instance, on November 06, 2020, US-based Mar-Bal Inc. has merged its AltraSet Composite Technologies business with Lattice Composite, a manufacturer of high-performance molding compounds. The merger has resulted in the creation of the world's leading provider of composite materials Solutions Company. The company will offer a new customer-centric approach to produce epoxy resin-based materials for the world.
