Electric Vehicle Lightweight Materials Market Industry Drivers: What’s Behind The Revenue Growth?
The rise in the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is expected to boost the growth of the electric vehicle lightweight materials market going forward. An electric vehicle refers to one that can be propelled by an electric motor that gets power from a battery and can be recharged from an external source. The next generation of electric vehicles may be largely dependent on lightweight materials. Electric vehicles’ weight can be significantly decreased by using composite materials made of fiber-reinforced plastic polymers, which also improve their performance, longevity, and range. For instance, in March 2024, according to International Electric agency, a France-based intergovernmental organisation, in 2023, around 14 million electric cars were registered globally, marking a 35% increase over the 10.5 million registered in 2022. Electric vehicles (EVs) made up 18% of total car sales in 2023, up from 14% in 2022. This growth demonstrates strong momentum in the EV market, with weekly registrations in 2023 exceeding 250,000. Battery electric vehicles accounted for 70% of the total electric car stock in 2023. Therefore, the rise in the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is driving the growth of the electric vehicle lightweight materials market.
