Polymer matrix composites are composed of reinforcement fibers bound together by polymer matrix resins. Various fibers (glass, carbon, natural, and others) and polymer matrix (thermoset and thermoplastic) can be used in composites depending on applications and the required specifications. Composites are used in several end-use industries, including aerospace & defense, automotive & transportation, wind energy, marine, pipe & tank, construction & infrastructure, and electronics.
Aerospace Industry is the major end use sector in the composites market due to decreased weight and increased fuel efficiency. In addition, more efficient structural and aerodynamic design is achieved due to a greater strength-to-weight ratio. The governments in developed countries focus on the replacement of old aircraft with advanced and high-performance aircraft. Manufacturers are considering the use of composites to achieve fuel efficiency and performance in accordance with the norms given by regulatory authorities.
The global composites market size is expected to reach USD 168.6 billion by 2027, projecting a CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period between 2022 and 2027.
The major companies that manufacture composites are Owens Corning, Toray Industries, Inc., Teijin Limited, Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings Corporation, and SGL Group. These players have extensive product portfolios which cater to the demand for composites from various applications.
