The global advanced composites market was valued at $34.0 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $88.7 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 10.2% from 2022 to 2031.

Advanced composites have two types including thermoset composites and thermoplastic composites. Thermoplastic composites are becoming more popular due to their advantages such as recyclability, ease of manufacturing and design flexibility. A thermoset cannot be reshaped after it has been made, cured, and cooled, whereas thermoplastics can be heated up and molded. This is the major distinction between a thermoset and a thermoplastic. Materials such as thermoset and thermoplastic are selected according to the types of properties required for the application since each of them have unique advantages. For instance, thermoset composites have high temperature resistance and excellent fatigue resistance. However, thermoplastic composites have improved toughness and the potential for recycling.

Advanced composite material is a structure made from two or more constituent materials. Constituent material have notably different chemical or physical properties that are merged to create a material with properties unlike individual elements. In the finished structure of advanced carbon composites, the individual elements remain separate and distinct, distinguishing composites from mixture and solid solution. The main raw materials used to produce carbon fiber composites are polyester resin and carbon fibers. It contains both reinforcing fibers and matrix material of pure carbon. Advanced carbon composites are known for their superior properties which are low thermal expansion, light weight, UV resistance, durability, corrosion resistance and others. Carbon composites also have higher stiffness-to-weight ratio then other conventional materials. The market of carbon composites is growing due to its increasing demand from aerospace, defense, thermoplastic and wind energy industries.

In addition, growing demand for thermoplastic resins have increased their scope in marine and piping applications. With growth in the electrical & electronics sector, the market for GFRP composites is likely to create new lucrative market growth opportunities. Fluctuations in the price of raw materials are anticipated to impede market expansion, while increased use of these composites as carbon substitutes combined with advancements in molding techniques are anticipated to fuel market expansion.

However, advanced composites are comparatively more expensive than metals. Advanced composite parts offer a broad range of benefits over steel, aluminum, wood, and performance plastics due to their high specific strength and modulus. Nevertheless, they remain expensive due to the high costs of raw materials and labor required. Additionally, the high cost of the product owing to the need for automation and advanced technologies for the manufacturing of advanced composites is expected to restrain the market growth.

The advanced composite market is segmented on the basis of product type, resin type, end-use industry and region. On the basis of product type, the advanced composite market is segmented into aramid fiber composites, carbon fiber composites, and glass fiber composites. On the basis of resin type, the advanced composite market is segmented into thermosets and thermoplastic. On the basis of the end-use industry, the advanced composite market is segmented into aerospace & defence, thermoplastic, electrical and electronic, wind energy, sporting goods, marine, medical, and others. The regional market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

The major players operating in the industry include Toray Industries, Inc., Koninklijke Ten Cate NV, Teijin Limited, Hexcel Corporation, SGL Group, Cytec Solvay Group, Owens Corning, E. I. Dupont De Nemours, Huntsman Corporation, Momentive Performance Materials Inc. These players have adopted product launch, acquisition, and business expansion as their key strategies to increase their market shares.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON THE GLOBAL MINERAL TURPENTINE MARKET

Tthe thermoplastic composites market has also suffered considerably since the production lines were standing still in the first half year of 2020. In addition, they are also generally impacted by the transition to more e-mobility which has created a lot of drawbacks and led to less sales.

Executive Summary

According to this report, titled, 'Advanced composites Market,' The advanced composites market was valued at $34.0 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $88.7 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 10.2% from 2022 to 2031.

Advanced composites are lightweight materials that are primarily utilized in the interiors and under the hoods of trucks, cars, and other vehicles. Since advanced composites are the preferable material for reducing vehicle weight, they are used in numerous interior and exterior automotive applications. The usage of advanced composite materials in the automotive industry has increased in the past few years due to its excellent dimensional stability. Properties of advanced composites such as shape retention, low coefficient of thermal expansion, resistance to corrosion for the performance in dry and wet conditions, ease of manufacturing, and low weight to reduce overall vehicle mass make them preferred materials.

High demand for advanced composites across various end-use industries
Advanced composite materials are compounds that, when compared to other materials, exhibit extremely high strength fibers with unusually high stiffness, or modulus of elasticity, all while being linked by weaker bond. It can be tailor-made to deliver strength and stiffness in specific directions or certain areas depending on the use case. Due to the nearly limitless possibilities and versatility, material engineers and designers have the freedom and creativity to create new material combinations to uniquely serve new applications. Due to their vast versatility, polymer composites are already used in a variety of different industries such as marine, thermoplastic, construction, medical, aerospace & aircrafts and utility among the other and additionally, more applications for new industries continue to be discovered.

In marine industry, structural hull panels, decking, stringers, sail battens, cabinetry, door panels, mast structures, and anchor pins can all be made with advanced composites. Glass fiber-reinforced polyester is the most prevalent composite used in boats and ships while aramid fiber reinforcement is used in key areas of high-performance sailboats, such as the bow and keel sections. Advanced composites are resistant to the elements and corrosive saltwater, provide high strength and stiffness, and dampen noise and vibration for a smoother ride.

Furthermore, in thermoplastic industry, advanced composites are used in several vehicle parts, including structural components, under the hood and interior components, doors, seats, enclosures, bumper reinforcement, and body panels. Using composite material in automobiles can lower tooling costs and improve design flexibility for manufacturers while improving fuel efficiency and the overall driving experience for the consumer by reducing noise and vibration.

Moreover, in utility sector, traditional wood and metal utility poles and cross arms are increasingly being replaced by advanced composites as they are non-conductive, durable, and lighter weight than wood or steel, which makes them easier to install. Glass fiber-reinforced composites are also used in other electrical transmission and distribution applications such as insulators, arresters, and pole line hardware. In all instances, advanced composites enhance performance thanks to their resistance to corrosion, heat, weather, and flame. Thus, the high demand for advanced composites across various end-use industries notably contributes toward the growth of the advanced composite market.

The advanced composite market is segmented on the basis of product type, resin type, end-use industry and region. On the basis of product type, the advanced composite market is segmented into aramid fiber composites, carbon fiber composites and glass fiber composites. On the basis of resin type, advanced composite market is segmented into thermosets and thermoplastic. On the basis of end-use industry, advanced composite market is segmented into aerospace & defense, thermoplastic, electrical and electronic, wind energy, sporting goods, marine, medical and others. The regional market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

The major players operating in the industry include Toray Industries, Inc., Koninklijke Ten Cate NV, Teijin Limited, Hexcel Corporation, SGL Group, Cytec Solvay Group, Owens Corning, E. I. Dupont De Nemours, Huntsman Corporation, Momentive Performance Materials Inc.
