Overview

Scope of the Report

The global Automotive Short Glass Fiber Reinforced Polyamide market size is predicted to grow from US$ 904 million in 2025 to US$ 1,481 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% from 2026 to 2032.

Global sales of automotive short glass fiber reinforced polyamide (SFR-PA) reached 260,000 tons in 2025, with an average price of $3,522 per ton.

Automotive SFR-PA refers to a thermoplastic composite material made by melt-blending and granulating 0.2–0.8 mm alkali-free short-cut glass fibers with PA6 or PA66 resin, followed by injection molding to produce non-load-bearing/semi-load-bearing automotive components. Its tensile strength, heat resistance, and dimensional stability are superior to pure PA, and it can long-term replace aluminum or sheet metal in coolant or oil temperature environments of 85–110 ℃, used in intake manifolds, battery covers, pedal brackets, etc.

On the raw material side, PA matrix accounts for 60-70% of the formulation mass and 65-75% of the cost; its monomer price fluctuates with the petroleum-benzene chain. Short-cut alkali-free glass fiber accounts for 25-35% and 20-25% of the cost; it is made from minerals such as quartz sand and limestone through high-temperature melting and drawing, resulting in high energy consumption and sensitivity to natural gas prices. The remaining 5-10% consists of coupling agents, heat stabilizers, and lubricants. Raw materials together account for 75-80% of the ex-factory price, making the polyamide resin market a decisive factor in cost fluctuations.
