Core Molding Technologies, IDI Composites, Polynt Riechhold Group, Teijin, and BASF are among the major suppliers of the global composite materials in mass transportation and off road equipment market.


On the basis of its comprehensive research, Lucintel forecasts that SMC & BMC material is expected to be the largest intermediate materials by value and volume over the forecast period.

Within this market, exterior will remain the largest application by value and volume due to increasing demand for composites in hood, fender, headlamp reflector and front end module. Composite materials in under the hood application are expected to witness highest growth due to increasing demand for high performance material in pan module, engine cover, heat shield, and air end caps.

Europe is expected to remain the largest region by value and volume due to higher production of composites part for mass transportation than other region. Government regulations, such as CAFE Standards in the US and carbon emission targets in Europe, are the key drivers for putting pressure on OEMs to incorporate lightweight materials to curb the overall weight.
