Battery pack protection is replacing exhaust heat as the growth engine for automotive heat shields
Global spending on Automotive Heat Shields reached USD 13.62 Billion in 2025 and is forecast at USD 14.21 Billion in 2026 and USD 20.85 Billion by 2035, a 4.35% CAGR. Radial Insights expects total revenue to keep growing even as combustion engine volumes peak, because electric and hybrid vehicles add new shielding jobs inside and around the battery.
The scope of this report covers metallic, non-metallic and composite heat shields fitted to passenger cars, light commercial vehicles and heavy commercial vehicles, at the OEM supply level. It includes exhaust, turbocharger, engine bay and underbody shields, plus thermal barriers and flame shields used in battery packs and power electronics. Acoustic-only insulation, engine coolant systems, cabin HVAC components and aftermarket coatings are excluded and tracked separately.
Vehicle output sets the floor for demand. The International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA) reported about 96.4 million vehicles produced in 2025, up 3.9%, with China alone at 34.53 million and Chinese new energy vehicle output of 16.626 million. Every one of those vehicles carries shields, but the mix is changing: a combustion car needs shields mainly along the exhaust line, while a battery electric vehicle needs flame and thermal barriers between cells, modules and the cabin floor.
Battery pack and power electronics shields are the fastest-growing application at an 11.80% CAGR, and mica and composite laminates are the fastest-growing material at 7.40%. Africa is the fastest-growing region at 5.80% a year from a small base. Asia Pacific (APAC) is the largest region, with a 47.50% share in 2025.
Supplier strategy reflects this shift. Autoneum, Alkegen, ElringKlinger and Dana now market battery flame barriers alongside classic exhaust shields, and ownership of mature metal-shield plants is changing hands as groups refocus on electrification.

Rigid shields lead today, flexible and textile formats gain ground
Rigid stamped shields, mostly embossed aluminum or steel, remain the largest product type and grow at 3.80%. Flexible shields grow at 4.60% because they can be wrapped around complex hybrid exhaust routings and sensors. Textile and fiber wraps grow fastest at 5.20%, helped by their use around high-voltage cables, battery modules and turbo pipes where weight and packaging space are tight.
Mica and composite laminates outgrow metal
Aluminum is the most widely used material and grows at 4.10% thanks to low weight and good reflectivity. Stainless and coated steel grows at only 2.90% because it is tied to hot exhaust zones of combustion engines. Fiberglass and ceramic fiber grows at 5.30%. Mica and composite laminates lead at 7.40% because they combine flame resistance with electrical insulation, the two properties battery packs need. Autoneum's E-Fiber flame shield, presented in March 2025 as a lighter alternative to mica, shows that fiber composites will compete hard for this growth.
Battery packs become the fastest application
Exhaust system shields grow at 2.60% and turbocharger shields at 3.10%, close to the trend in combustion and hybrid engines. Engine compartment shields grow at 3.40% and underbody shields at 4.40%, as underbody panels also protect battery floors from road heat and stone strikes. Battery pack and power electronics shields grow at 11.80% because every new EV platform needs barriers that slow thermal runaway between cells and keep flames away from the cabin.
Heavy commercial vehicles grow slightly faster than cars
Passenger cars hold most of the demand and grow at 4.20%. Light commercial vehicles grow at 4.60% as electric vans scale up, and heavy commercial vehicles grow at 4.90% because after-treatment systems on diesel trucks and large battery packs on electric trucks both need extensive shielding.
Propulsion mix is the biggest swing factor
Shields for internal combustion vehicles grow at only 1.40% as engine volumes plateau. Hybrid vehicles grow at 6.90% because they keep a hot exhaust and add a battery and power electronics. Battery electric vehicles grow at 10.60%, driven by flame barriers, cell-to-cell insulation and inverter shields.

Market Dynamics
Market Trends
Fiber composites challenge mica in battery packs
In March 2025 Autoneum presented E-Fiber flame shields for EV battery housings, with heat resistance up to 1,400 C and electrical insulation, describing them as considerably lighter than mica alternatives and in pre-development with customers in Europe. Mica laminates, supplied by firms such as Zhejiang Rongtai Electric Material, remain the incumbent, so material choice is now a live competition in each new pack design.
Aerogel barriers move to full-scale production
In June 2025 Alkegen announced full-scale commercial production of AlkeGel, a low-dust fiber-aerogel composite for battery thermal runaway protection, with plants in North America and Europe. The company also offers compression pads, wraps and thermal barriers, which shows how shielding suppliers are bundling several battery products.
Portfolio reshaping among European suppliers
In January 2025 CERTINA Group completed its purchase of ElringKlinger's heat and noise shielding plants in Sevelen, Switzerland, and Buford, USA. ElringKlinger reported 2025 group revenue of EUR 1,640.9 million in March 2026 and is shifting investment to e-mobility, while specialist owners take over mature shielding sites.
Asian consolidation by global suppliers
Autoneum closed its acquisition of a 70% stake in China's Jiangsu Huanyu Group in February 2025 and of Chengdu Yiqi-Sihuan, an acoustic and thermal management supplier, in November 2025. Autoneum's Asia revenue rose to CHF 326.4 million in 2025, up 73.9% in local currencies, giving it access to Chinese carmakers such as BYD, BAIC and GAC.
Restraints and Challenges
Flat combustion engine volumes
Exhaust and turbo shields still make up a large part of revenue, yet the OICA reports that European vehicle production fell 0.8% to 17.2 million units in 2025. As combustion volumes stall in Europe and North America, suppliers of stamped metal shields face overcapacity and price pressure.
Raw material price swings
Aluminum, stainless steel and mica prices move with energy costs and trade measures. Shield makers usually agree annual price-downs with carmakers, so sudden raw material increases squeeze margins until contracts are renegotiated.
Weak earnings at key suppliers
Autoneum's 2025 revenue fell to CHF 2,290.6 million from CHF 2,338.7 million, with organic revenue down 4.1%, and ElringKlinger's revenue dropped to EUR 1,640.9 million from EUR 1,803.1 million. Lower volumes limit the capital that suppliers can spend on new battery shielding lines.
Fast-changing battery designs
Cell-to-pack and cell-to-body designs change where barriers sit and how thick they must be. A shield qualified for one pack generation may not fit the next, which shortens product life cycles and raises engineering costs for suppliers.
Growth Drivers
Battery thermal runaway protection opens a new application
The largest new source of demand is the battery pack. When one cell fails, a thermal runaway event can spread to neighboring cells within seconds, so carmakers fit flame barriers, mica sheets, aerogel pads and fiber shields between cells, between modules and under the pack lid. Autoneum's E-Fiber shields resist up to 1,400 C, Alkegen moved its AlkeGel aerogel barrier into full-scale production in June 2025, and Zhejiang Rongtai Electric Material disclosed an order of up to USD 358 million for mica insulation parts from an overseas NEV maker. With OICA counting 16.626 million new energy vehicles built in China alone in 2025, Radial Insights estimates battery shielding adds about +1.6% to the annual growth of the Automotive Heat Shields market through 2035.
Hybrids and downsized turbo engines run hotter
Hybrid vehicles keep an exhaust system and add a high-voltage battery, inverter and electric motor, so they carry more shield area than either a pure combustion car or a pure EV. Downsized turbocharged engines, which carmakers use to meet CO2 targets, run hotter exhaust gas and need close-coupled catalyst and turbo shields. Toyota, Hyundai and Chinese brands are expanding hybrid lines in 2025 and 2026, and our supplier interviews indicate hybrid platforms carry noticeably more shield content per vehicle than comparable petrol models. We estimate hybrid and turbo heat loads lift market growth by roughly 0.9 percentage points a year, with the effect strongest in Japan, China and North America.
Asian vehicle production keeps the volume base growing
Global output rose 3.9% in 2025 to about 96.4 million vehicles, and growth shifted east: China added roughly 3.25 million vehicles to reach 34.53 million, and India rose to 6.49 million. Local shield makers in China and India, along with global players that bought into Chinese suppliers, such as Autoneum with Jiangsu Huanyu and Chengdu Yiqi-Sihuan, capture much of this added volume. Radial Insights attributes about 0.7% of annual market growth to this production shift toward Asia, independent of content gains.
Opportunities
Integrated battery protection kits
Carmakers prefer to buy pack-level kits that combine flame barriers, compression pads and underbody shields from one supplier. Suppliers that can validate a full kit in battery abuse tests can win larger contracts than single-part makers in a segment growing at 11.80% a year.
Lightweight shields for electric trucks and buses
Electric trucks carry very large packs, and every kilogram saved adds payload. Heavy commercial vehicle shields grow at 4.90% a year, and lightweight fiber and aerogel barriers can command a premium in this segment, particularly in Europe and China where e-truck programs are scaling.
Asia Pacific supplies nearly half of heat shield demand as vehicle output shifts east
Regional demand follows vehicle production and the pace of electrification. Asia leads on both volume and growth in battery shielding, while Europe and North America concentrate on hybrid and premium applications.
Asia Pacific (APAC)
Asia Pacific (APAC) holds 47.50% of the Automotive Heat Shields market in 2025, worth USD 6.47 Billion, and reaches USD 10.52 Billion by 2035 at a 4.98% CAGR.
