(MENAFN- EIN Presswire) EINPresswire/ -- The global Advanced Polymer Composites (APC) market is entering a high-growth decade driven by structural innovation across automotive, aerospace, energy, and large-scale infrastructure industries. According to the latest market assessment, global APC sales are projected to reach USD 12,478.5 million in 2025, accelerating to USD 22,137.2 million by 2035, reflecting a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period. The market recorded USD 11,783.3 million in revenues in 2024, with a 5.3% YoY growth expected in 2025.

Rising Adoption Fueled by Electric Vehicles, Wind Energy, and Lightweight Engineering

The transition toward lightweight, energy-efficient materials remains a central market force. Automotive OEMs-especially electric vehicle manufacturers-are deploying advanced composites such as carbon fiber and thermoplastic laminates in battery enclosures, structural frames, and body panels. According to ACEA, electric vehicle registrations in Europe rose 37% in 2023, directly boosting composite material demand.

The renewable energy sector also represents a pivotal growth pillar. Offshore wind installations across China's coastal zones and the North Sea are accelerating composite utilization in turbine blades. The Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) reports that more than 10 GW of offshore wind capacity was added worldwide in 2023, strengthening long-term APC consumption.
