Composite Materials Price Trends, Forecasts and Analysis
Lucintel, July 2007, Pages: 44
Features of This Report
This analysis can help parts fabricators as well as material suppliers to understand the direction in which industry trends are pointing. Composite materials users / molders can benefit by learning whether they are receiving competitive pricing on the materials they are using and uncovering what other competitive options are available to them for making their products. It also provides insights on how to cope with fluctuating prices. Gaining insights into price movements provides a significant competitive edge to material suppliers as well as fabricators. This report is designed to provide these insights with the following key features:
- Current market price and lead time analysis for four resins (polyester resin, vinyl ester, epoxy, and polyurethane), two reinforcements (glass fiber, carbon fiber), and four competing materials (aluminum, steel, wood and thermoplastic).
- Price trend analysis for the last 6 years (2001-2007) and by quarter for resins, fibers and competing materials.
- A four-quarter forecast of resin and fiber prices to understand industry direction.
- Contributing factors in price changes such as changes in supply and demand, energy prices.
- Strategy for coping with price movements.
This report answers the following key questions:
- What are the drivers for change in resins, fibers, aluminum and stainless steel prices in the last 6 years?
- What are the current market prices for various resins, fibers and competing materials such as aluminum (3003, 5052, 6061 and 7000 series) and steel (cold rolled, stainless steel T304)?
- What percentage changes in price took place in various resins, fibers and metals?
- How the price gap and competitiveness changed in resins and fibers as compared to competing materials such as aluminum and stainless steel over the last 6 years (2001-2007)?
- How extensive will resin and fiber price changes be between 2007-2008?
- Which materials are more cost competitive based on weight, strength and modulus?
Tangible Benefits of this Report
This report can help OEMs, part fabricators as well as material suppliers to gain insights and intelligence around the past, present and future direction of material prices for both the composites industry as well as for the competing materials industry.
