Composites Industry Overview
The global composites market size was estimated at USD 86.4 billion in 2020 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6% from 2021 to 2028.
Increasing demand for performance materials in various industries such as automotive & transportation, wind energy, and aerospace and defense is expected to drive the market over the forecast period. The ongoing COVID-19 outburst across the globe has significantly impacted the supply chains as major economies suspended the trade operations. Moreover, demand for composites across various end-use industries such as aerospace, automotive, and construction has been reduced. However, with the ease of trade restrictions, the situation is expected to recover in 2021, which will restore the growth trajectory of the market.
Gather more insights about the market drivers, restrains and growth of the Global Composites Market
High cost of raw materials for composites is likely to challenge procurement operations by the component manufacturers. However, increased disposable income and readiness to spend more on superior products are expected to influence the market growth positively over the forecast period.
In the U.S., the demand for composites is primarily driven by the increasing demand for lightweight materials in the automotive industry. Rising electrical & electronics capacity additions and steady growth in the automotive and aerospace sectors are the factors that are expected to augment the market growth over the forecast period.
The high weight-to-strength ratio has been the key factor behind the increased usage of composite materials in various end-use industries. Superior properties of composites such as design flexibility, corrosion resistance, high performance at elevated temperatures reduce the threat of substitutes.
The market is competitive with a few key players holding a majority of the market share. Their expertise in R&D makes it difficult for the new entrants to operate profitably in the market. However, with the development of products in specific applications to enhance the output of composites is expected to augment the potential market opportunity. As a result, the industry rivalry is expected to remain high over the forecast period.
