Executive
Summary and Africa Automotive Composites Market Analysis

The automotive composites market in Africa is experiencing a dynamic phase of expansion, primarily propelled by the escalating demand for vehicles that are lighter, more robust, and demonstrate enhanced fuel efficiency. Automotive manufacturers throughout the region are increasingly incorporating composite
materials, encompassing fiberglass, carbon fiber, and natural fiber alternatives, into their production processes to align with evolving global sustainability mandates. The growing prominence of electric vehicles (EVs) and the pressing imperative to mitigate carbon emissions are significant factors driving the adoption of advanced materials. Composites offer substantial weight reduction advantages, directly contributing to improved energy efficiency in vehicles. This trend is anticipated to gain further momentum as environmentally conscious policies and practices are more widely embraced by governments and the business sector across the continent.

Africa Automotive Composites Market Outlook

The continent is witnessing a notable increase in the number of manufacturers establishing operational bases within key African markets such as South Africa, Nigeria, Egypt, and Morocco. South Africa has solidified its standing as a prominent automotive hub, attracting global automakers and fostering the growth
of local production capabilities. This development has led to an amplified demand for high-performance materials, such as composites, to support the vehicle manufacturing process. Furthermore, the expanding middle-class population and a rising consumer preference for affordable yet high-quality vehicles are prompting automakers to leverage composites to enhance both the performance characteristics and the visual appeal of their products. Natural fibers, sourced from local agricultural resources like hemp, jute, and sisal, offer a more sustainable and economically sound alternative to traditional synthetic composites.

Africa Automotive Composites Market Country Insights

South Africa's automotive composites market is growing as the country's automotive industry increasingly adopts advanced materials to enhance vehicle performance, reduce weight, and improve fuel efficiency. Composites such as fiberglass, carbon fiber, and natural fibers are becoming more common in vehicle
manufacturing, driven by the demand for more sustainable and efficient transportation solutions. According to the International Trade Administration, the total vehicle production in South Africa increased from 446,210 units in 2020 to 510,000 units in 2022. South Africa launched the South Africa Automotive Masterplan (SAAM) 2021–2035 in 2021, aimed at producing 1.4 million vehicles, representing 1% of global vehicle production per annum by 2035. The country's seven original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the automotive sector invested ~US$ 460 million in 2021. South Africa's well-established automotive sector, which includes major global automakers, is shifting toward EVs, further boosting the use of lightweight materials. As the market for environmentally friendly vehicles expands, South Africa's automotive composites industry is poised to grow, supporting domestic and export demands.
