Core Materials for Composites Market Analysis

The global core material for composites market is expected to witness a CAGR of over 8% during the forecast period. Increasing usage of composites in the aerospace industry and growing usage in wind energy domain are likely to be the driving factors for the market studied.

  • Factors, such as lack of economical manufacturing processes for bulk-volume applications and the market being highly capital intensive, are likely to hinder the growth of the market.
  • The emergence of PET foam and innovations aimed at lowering the costs of end products are likely to provideopportunities for the market to grow through the years to come.

Core Materials for Composites Market Trends

This section covers the major market trends shaping the Core Materials For Composites Market according to our research experts:

Growing Usage in Aerospace and Defense Sector

  • Composite materials are widely used in the aerospace and defense sector. The industry is one of the first to use composite materials for an ever-increasing range of applications and remains at the technological forefront of composite development.
  • These materials are highly suitable for several interior and structural applications, demonstrating a unique combination of properties, combining excellent mechanical performance, JAR/FAR fire protection regulations from fire smoke, toxicity (FST), and heat release.
  • These composites are used in large structural components, in addition to interior and flooring parts in regional and non-commercial aircraft. These materials not only increase the durabilitybut also reduce the overall cost. Some of the applications include panel structures, cargo, pallets and vessels, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the Airbus and Boeing aircraft.
  • The global composites for the aerospace market islikely to project33% growth, in terms of volume, over the next five years. The burgeoning demand for composites in the aerospace anddefense sector is projected to boost the demand for core material for composites, during the forecast period.

United States to Dominate the North America Region

  • United States has the largest aerospace industry in the world, one of the largest automotive, marine, and construction markets, which is continuously expanding at a steady pace.  
  • The total commercial aircraft fleet in the country is expected to reach 8,290 in 2038, owing to the growth in air cargo. Additionally, the US mainliner carrier fleet is expected to grow at an average rate of 45 aircraft per year, as the existing fleet is getting older.
  • Exports of aerospace components to countries, such as France, China, and Germany, along with robust consumer expenditure in the United States, is driving the manufacturing activities in the aerospace industry.
  • The United States is the second-largest producer of automotive, after China. Various automotive manufacturing companies are continuously investing in the country, amid threats from the government to increase levies on auto imports from Mexico.
  • The gradual growth of the commercial construction sector, primarily in office space construction, is likely to have a positive impact on the market studied. Additionally, the rise in home sales, coupled with the renovation of the existing houses, is boosting the demand for residential construction in the United States.
  • The country is also one of the major manufacturers of wind turbines. The top three wind turbine manufacturers, measured by the cumulative share of the US wind turbine fleet, are GE Renewable Energy, Vestas, and Siemens, with more than 75% of the share.
  • Such factors have led to a significant increase in demand for core material for composites in the country and are likely to continue to do so through the forecast period as well.
