Market Segmentation Analysis
By Resin Type:
The report provides the bifurcation of the market into two segments based on the resin type: Thermoset Composites, and Thermoplastic Composites. In 2022, the thermoset composites segment held the major share in the market.
Thermoset composites are the polymers that are made with thermoset matrices having great strength and low impact-toughness making. These are based on glass, carbon and aramid fibers. The thermoset composites can be remolded without degradation on heating and on cooling they solidify into a finished shape.
There is a substantial rise in the demand for thermoset composites by the various end user industries owing to it beneficial properties such as strength, rigidity and high temperature resistance. Due to the rapid growth and expansion of aerospace industry, the demand for thermoset composites has multiplied over the years.
By Fiber Type:
The report further provides the segmentation based on the fiber type: Glass Fiber Composites, Carbon Fiber Composites, Natural Fiber Composites and Other Fiber Composites. Glass fiber emerged as a prominent segment, accounting for a major share in the global market.
This phenomenal rise can be due to its high demand in the building, electronics and electrical, wind energy, and transportation sectors. It has enhanced qualities such as lightweight, high durability, high strength, and weather resistance. Such exceptional attributes are driving the segment's demand in a wide range of applications.
By End User:
The outlook of the global composites market seems eye-catching with alluring prospects in numerous end-use sectors. The composites market is further bifurcated based on the end user: Automotive & Transportation, Electrical & Electronics, Construction & Infrastructure, Wind Energy, Pipes & Tanks, Marine, and Others. In 2022, the automotive and transportation segment dominated the market.
Composites are used in automobiles, trucks, trailers, buses, railways, subways, and motorcycles. These industries use composites to replace metal in the manufacture of strong and lightweight components. The material possesses the stiffness and strength of metals but is lighter, allowing for the production of lightweight pieces.
By Region:
The report provides insight into the composites market based on the geographical operations, namely Asia Pacific, Europe, North America and ROW. The Asia Pacific region dominated the composites market and is expected to expand rapidly during the forecast period.
Due to the presence of important manufacturers in significant economies such as China, India, and Japan, the area is one of the most lucrative destinations for automotive, construction, aerospace, and electronics manufacturers. Considerable investment in the construction sector is expected to augment the demand for composites in the region which will drive the regional market growth. The presence of key market players in the region is again contributing to the growth of the composites market in Asia-Pacific.
Europe is a significant market for composites due to the increasing demand for electric vehicles and the presence of stringent emission regulations. The growing use of composites in the construction sector, as a result of rapid urbanization and rising living standards, is driving the composites market in Europe.
