Composites are becoming increasingly important in many different industries.
The need to save energy is fuelling the increase of composites in aerospace
sector, and in the automotive sector. The necessity to diversify away from
traditional sources of energy is increasing demand for wind energy, another
sector important for composites demand. Composites are also sought after in
sectors dealing with corrosion and construction, as they are strong, resistant
to damage and easy to install. The composites market has bright prospects
ahead and as a consequence, Visiongain has determined that the value of the
global composites market in 2012 will reach $62.6bn.
Glass fibre composites are the most popular due to their cheap price and ease
of manufacturing, and will remain as the largest submarket (both in volume and
value) of composites throughout the forecast period. Carbon fibre composites
are expensive, but favoured in demanding applications such as the aerospace
and automotive industries. Strong growth prospects are forecasted as increased
energy prices push manufacturers to save costs through using innovative
materials. Aramid fibre composites are in demand in security and
high-vibration applications, and it is predicted that new uses for aramid
fibre will be developed over the forecast period. Other fibre composites and
hybrids are forecasted to grow strongly, as sophisticated and purpose-built
composites will become necessary for new applications.
In the North American, European and other developed markets around the world
composites are becoming more complex, and increasingly high-value. While the
current economic conditions are reducing investment in many industries,
composites sales are expected to remain robust, and increase considerably once
economic conditions improve. Emerging and developing markets in the Middle
East, Africa, Asia and South America have a robust demand for composites as
well. Many industries in these countries are taking their first forays into
using composites - as a consequence the composites demand in these regions is
forecasted to be high. Over the long term as the industries in these regions
develop and require more sophisticated composites, the global composites
demand is forecasted to accelerate.
The report contains 115 tables, charts and graphs that add visual analysis in
order to explain developing trends within the composites market. Visiongain
