The global construction composites market is expected to grow from $5.71 billion in 2021 to $6.31 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.7%. The market is expected to grow to $8.09 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%.

The construction composites market consists of sales of the construction composites by entities (organizations, sole traders, and partnerships) that are used in the construction of entire bridge structures, bridge decks, and bridge enclosures. The composite construction is aimed at providing the maximum strength and stiffness to the structure with the minimum investment of the resources that are made available. They are advantageous due to their high stiffness-to-weight and strength-to-weight ratios when compared to standard materials such as steel and reinforced concrete. The compression resistance of concrete and the tension resistance of steel in the structure are combined in the composite construction.

The main types of resins in construction composites are polyester resin, vinyl ester, polyethylene, polypropylene, and epoxy resin. Polyesters are the frequently used thermoset resin for all commercial composites. These resins provide stability of good mechanical, chemical, electrical properties, dimensional stability, ease of handling, and low cost. The different types of fibers include carbon fibers, glass fibers, and natural fibers that are used by various end-use sectors such as industrial, commercial, housing, and civil.

North America was the largest region in the construction composites market in 2021. The regions covered in this report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East, and Africa.

The increasing construction activities are significantly driving the growth of the construction composites market. Construction is the process of putting together materials to create enormous structures. Composite materials are employed in construction because of the numerous advantages they provide over traditional building materials. The increasing construction activities for residential and non-residential buildings are promoting the demand for construction composites and thereby promoting the market growth. For instance, according to the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s new residential construction data, in 2021, an estimated 1,337,800 new residential housing construction units were completed, a 4% increase from 2020. Therefore, the increasing construction activities are expected to fuel the construction composites market growth going forward.

Strategic collaborations and partnerships have emerged as a key trend gaining popularity in the construction composites market. Major players in operating in the construction composites sector are focused on collaborations and partnerships to extend their growth in new areas and to strengthen their position. For instance, in March 2021, Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA), a US-based association partnered with Owens Corning for an undisclosed amount. This partnership enables HVAC industry suppliers, manufacturers, and service providers to demonstrate their extraordinary commitment to ACCA members and the contracting industry through year-round support of the association’s activities. Owens Corning is a US-based composite manufacturing company. Also, in April 2021, Heatcon, a US-based aerospace company partnered with Hexcel Corporation for an undisclosed amount. This partnership granted HEATCON to sell Hexcel’s carbon fiber prepreg tapes and fabrics to support advanced air mobility vehicles and the unmanned aerial vehicles industry. Hexcel Corporation is a US-based composite manufacturing company.

In March 2020, Owens Corning, a US-based company that manufactures composites acquired Hughes Brothers’ concrete reinforcement business Aslan FRP for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition broadens the Owens Corning portfolio of composite solutions and adds new products that will enhance the performance of concrete structures while being lighter-weight and more corrosion-resistant than conventional steel reinforcements. Hughes Brothers is a US-based company that produces and markets construction composites.

The countries covered in the construction composites market report are Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Russia, South Korea, UK, USA.
