Composite materials have long played a transformative role across industries, enabling high-performance, lightweight solutions in aerospace, automotive, and construction. More recently, they are becoming pivotal to the green energy transition. With increasing pressure on industries to meet decarbonization goals and sustainability targets, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites, particularly glass and carbon fiber-based systems, are finding new applications in renewable energy infrastructure. From wind turbine blades and EV battery casings to hydrogen storage tanks and tidal energy systems, composites are being leveraged to improve performance, extend system lifetimes, and reduce costs.
 
IDTechEx's report "Composite Materials for Green Energy Applications 2026-2046: Trends, Technologies & Sustainability Outlook" provides a comprehensive assessment of composite material applications in green energy, evaluating market trends, technical specifications, and regulatory influences that are driving material adoption. Benchmarking of material innovations, sustainability progress, and application requirements helps to formulate granular 20 year forecasts for the use of composites across key renewable energy technologies, with the market predicted to exceed US$78 billion by 2046.

The green energy applications of composites covered in this report
 
Composites Enabling Green Energy Technologies
Wind energy remains one of the most established sectors for composite deployment, with FRPs used extensively in the manufacturing of turbine blades. Continuous improvements in fiber architecture and resin systems, combined with advancements in blade manufacturing processes, have enabled the production of longer and more durable blades. This has allowed wind turbines to scale from modest outputs to capacities exceeding 15 MW. As global wind power capacity continues to expand, so too does the demand for high-performance composites.
 
In electric vehicles (EVs), polymer composites are contributing to critical lightweighting efforts aimed at improving range and drivetrain efficiency. Both glass and carbon fiber-reinforced composites are being adopted for battery enclosures by major automakers including Volkswagen, Kia, and General Motors. These materials offer strength and stiffness with minimal added weight, but challenges persist in areas such as thermal management and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding - key concerns in mitigating battery fire risk. IDTechEx's report explores the material innovations underway to address these technical hurdles, including advanced fibers and resins and multi-material designs.
 
Carbon fiber composites are also playing a central role in the expansion of the hydrogen economy. Their high strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance make them ideal for manufacturing pressure vessels used in hydrogen storage and transport. As the market shifts toward larger, lighter, and more efficient storage systems, composite adoption is increasing, especially with the development of linerless Type V pressure vessels, which eliminate the need for metallic linings and enable even further weight reduction.
Beyond these headline applications, composite materials are also being adopted in other renewable energy domains. Solar panel frames are beginning to incorporate composites to reduce weight and increase resistance to corrosion and mechanical fatigue. In marine energy, including tidal and wave power systems, FRP components offer low maintenance requirements and high performance in harsh environments. In geothermal installations, composite piping and casing systems are being deployed in corrosive subsurface conditions where traditional steel alternatives underperform.
 
Composites Face Sustainability and Material Circularity Challenges
Despite their many performance advantages, composite materials, particularly those based on thermosetting resins, face significant sustainability challenges. Traditional thermoset based FRPs are notoriously difficult to recycle due to their covalently crosslinked polymer matrices, which resist breakdown and require high-energy recycling for material recovery. As global regulatory bodies tighten controls on waste and emissions, manufacturers are under growing pressure to develop more circular composite solutions.
One response has been the development of recyclable resin systems, including thermoplastic matrices and next-generation thermosets such as vitrimers. Vitrimer resins, which incorporate dynamic covalent bonding, offer a promising balance between performance and recyclability. Companies such as Westlake Epoxy and Techstorm are actively developing these materials for commercial-scale applications.
 
Additionally, the use of bio-based materials and natural fiber reinforcements is gaining momentum in low- and medium-performance applications where environmental impact is prioritized over extreme mechanical performance. While limitations in moisture resistance and mechanical strength preclude their use in critical structural components such as turbine blades, natural fiber composites are increasingly used in automotive interiors, consumer goods, and non-load-bearing infrastructure.
 
Regulatory Pressures Accelerating Sustainable Innovation
Governmental and regulatory initiatives are playing a crucial role in driving the shift toward sustainable composite solutions. The wind and automotive sectors are especially affected, given their high volumes of composite waste and the environmental risks associated with end-of-life materials. In Europe, several nations - including Germany, France, and the Netherlands - have enacted legislation restricting the landfilling of wind turbine blades. The EU's broader Waste Framework Directive further mandates member states to implement robust waste reduction and material recovery programs throughout product life cycles. As these regulations tighten, the adoption of recyclable and bio-based composites is set to accelerate.
 
Market Outlook
The future of composite materials in green energy is one of rapid growth, driven by the twin imperatives of performance and sustainability. The need for lighter, stronger, and longer-lasting components is increasing across every major renewable energy segment. At the same time, environmental mandates are accelerating the development and adoption of recyclable and bio-derived alternatives.
 
With in-depth analysis of fiber and resin technologies, application-specific requirements, and global market dynamics, IDTechEx's latest report offers critical insight into the evolving role of composites in the green energy transition.

About IDTechEx reports

What are the qualifications of the people conducting IDTechEx research?

Content produced by IDTechEx is researched and written by our technical analysts, each with a PhD or master's degree in their specialist field, and all of whom are employees. All our analysts are well-connected in their fields, intensively covering their sectors, revealing hard-to-find information you can trust.

How does IDTechEx gather data for its reports?

By directly interviewing and profiling companies across the supply chain. IDTechEx analysts interview companies by engaging directly with senior management and technology development executives across the supply chain, leading to revealing insights that may otherwise be inaccessible.
 
Further, as a global team, we travel extensively to industry events and companies to conduct in-depth, face-to-face interviews. We also engage with industry associations and follow public company filings as secondary sources. We conduct patent analysis and track regulatory changes and incentives. We consistently build on our decades-long research of emerging technologies.
 
We assess emerging technologies against existing solutions, evaluate market demand and provide data-driven forecasts based on our models. This provides a clear, unbiased outlook on the future of each technology or industry that we cover.

What is your forecast methodology?

We take into account the following information and data points where relevant to create our forecasts:
