Composite Materials in Europe

Summary

Composite Materials in Europe industry profile provides top-line qualitative and quantitative summary information including: market share, market size (value and volume 2020-25, and forecast to 2030). The profile also contains descriptions of the leading players including key financial metrics and analysis of competitive pressures within the market.

Key Highlights

  • Composite materials are formed when two materials with different physical and chemical properties are combined. These composite materials are specially designed to carry out a certain task, for instance, becoming stronger, lighter, or electrically resistant. Additionally, they can increase stiffness and strength. They are preferred over conventional materials because they enhance the qualities of the base material and can be used in a variety of contexts.
  • The European composite materials market recorded a value of $25.09 billion in 2025, and the value increased with a CAGR of 5.3% between 2020 and 2025.
  • Market consumption volume increased with a CAGR of 4.1% between 2020 and 2025, reaching a total of 2,620.4 kilotons in 2025.
  • During 2020-25, the rapid adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) drove growth in the composite materials market as automakers actively pursued lighter, more efficient designs.
