The growing automotive industry is expected to propel the growth of the epoxy composite market going forward. The automotive industry includes a wide range of businesses and organizations involved in designing, developing, producing, and modifying motor vehicles. Its growth is largely driven by rising consumer demand for advanced, efficient, and affordable vehicles, supported by increasing incomes and evolving mobility needs. Epoxy composites are used in the automotive sector to help manufacture safer, more fuel-efficient vehicles with improved performance and design flexibility. Their lightweight properties and high specific stiffness make them suitable for various automotive components. For instance, in April 2024, according to the Serbian Association of Vehicle and Parts Importers, a Serbia-based automotive organization, global vehicle production reached 93,546,599 units in 2023 - including 67,133,570 passenger vehicles - up from 84,830,376 units in 2022. Therefore, the growing automotive industry is driving the growth of the epoxy composite market.

Major companies operating in the epoxy composite market are developing innovative solutions such as advanced high-performance resin formulations to enhance strength, durability, and sustainability in composite applications. Advanced high-performance resin formulations are specially engineered epoxy or polymer systems designed to provide superior mechanical strength, thermal stability, and chemical resistance required for demanding applications. For instance, in September 2025, Cristex Composite Materials Ltd., a UK-based composite materials supplier, introduced a new range of bio-based epoxy resin and hardener systems to support sustainable composite manufacturing. These new systems include formulations suitable for hand-lamination and infusion processes, offering bio-based content ranging from 28% to 46%. They are compatible with reinforcements such as carbon, glass, and natural fibers, enabling manufacturers to produce high-performance, environmentally friendly composite structures across marine, automotive, renewable energy, and sporting goods industries.

In December 2025, Cambium Biomaterials Inc., a US-based technology company, acquired SHD Group for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to integrate Cambium’s AI-driven materials innovation capabilities with SHD’s established composite manufacturing expertise to accelerate the development and global production of high-performance composite materials. SHD Group is a UK-based provider of various epoxy composite prepreg materials.
