BUSlNESS market
Attractive growth opportunities for
composites in the transportation market
Dr. Sanjay MazuMDar,
CEO
Lucintel
T
he transportation sector
represents the largest
market for composites
and can be broadly classified into passenger car and
non-passenger car segments,
such as buses, trucks, off-road
vehicles and passenger rail.
The passenger car segment
represents
approximately
83% of the total $22 billion
in opportunities for composite products in the transportation market in 2017.
Non-passenger
car segment
This article focuses on the
non-passenger car segment,
where composites are used in
applications such as fenders,
roofs, door modules, hoods,
front ends, seats, side walls,
consoles, leaf springs, and
ceilings for buses, trucks,
off-road vehicles and passenger rail.

The transportation industry is going through rapid changes due to various mega
trends such as the emergence of autonomous vehicles, connected mobility,
maturing powertrain technologies, and light-weighting. The composites industry can take advantage of these emerging changes to drive innovations and to
develop light-weighting solutions for the transportation industry.
The global opportunity for
such products is attractive,
with sales of $3.7 billion
in 2017, and is expected to
reach $4.9 billion by 2023
with a compound annual
growth rate (CAGR) of
4.8%. Globally, there are
over 80 players making related parts, and this market
offers competitive gross
profit margins of 15-30%.
The use of advanced fibres
in this segment is limited
and glass fibre compos-
ites dominate due to the
price-sensitive nature of
most applications.
Some of the key composite
applications in rail, heavy
trucks, and off-road vehicles
are shown in Figure 2.
