The anticipated rapid expansion of the automotive industry is poised to be a driving force behind the growth of the composite repair and rehab market. The automotive industry, encompassing the production and distribution of self-powered vehicles such as automobiles, trucks, agricultural machinery, and other commercial vehicles, is witnessing significant growth. Composite repair and rehab services play a crucial role in this context by reducing vehicle weight, enhancing strength, and providing excellent physical characteristics for automobiles. These services offer superior mechanical resistance compared to traditional materials. According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), new vehicle sales increased from 11,041 thousand vehicles in 2020 to 11,741 thousand vehicles in 2021. This growth in new vehicle sales underscores the increasing demand and expansion within the automotive industry, driving the composite repair and rehab market.

The burgeoning wind energy sector is expected to further fuel the growth of the composite repair and rehab market. The wind energy sector, also known as the wind power industry, involves the development, production, and utilization of wind energy for electricity generation. As the wind energy sector continues to grow, with the installation of new wind turbines to meet the rising demand for renewable energy, there is an associated increase in the installed base of wind turbines. This expansion raises the likelihood of maintenance and repair requirements, making composite repair and rehabilitation services critical for addressing structural issues in turbine blades. According to the International Energy Agency, wind power generation exceeded 2,100 TWh in 2022, marking a record increase of 265 TWh (14%). Achieving further growth in wind energy generation will require substantial yearly capacity increases, from approximately 75 GW in 2022 to 350 GW in 2030. This growth trajectory underscores the pivotal role of composite repair and rehab services in supporting the wind energy sector and driving the overall market.

Product innovation stands out as a key and increasingly popular trend in the composite repair and rehab market, with major companies actively developing revolutionary products to enhance their market share. A notable example is Engineered Composite Solutions Limited, a Scotland-based company specializing in creating, developing, and offering composite repair systems. In May 2022, the company launched FutureWrap Bio, an innovative repair system produced from 70% plant oil. This product is considered groundbreaking in its category, incorporating 70% plant-based oil in its epoxy structure, thus positioning it as a more ecologically sustainable alternative compared to existing composite repair solutions.

Major players in the composite repair and rehab market are also embracing a strategic partnerships and collaborations approach to bolster their market share. Such collaborations establish a collaborative ecosystem that fosters innovation, efficiency, and overall market growth within the composites repair and rehabilitation sector. In September 2021, Baker Hughes BASE, a US-based energy technology company, collaborated with Rädlinger primus line GmbH, a Germany-based provider of innovative systems for trenchless pressure pipe rehabilitation. The collaboration focused on Non-Metallic Composite Pipe Applications to Rehabilitate and Repurpose Existing Pipelines. This strategic partnership aims to leverage non-metallic composite pipes to extend the lifespan of existing pipelines, reduce excavation, and enable the transportation of lower carbon fuels such as hydrogen and CO2. The collaboration supports the ongoing energy transition and provides turnkey solutions in the oil and gas and industrial sectors, showcasing the effectiveness of strategic partnerships in driving innovation and addressing industry challenges.

In August 2022, Pearce Renewables, a US-based company specializing in composite inspection and repair services, successfully acquired MFG Energy Services.
