Core Materials for Composites Market Forecasts to 2028 - Global Analysis By Type (Honeycomb, Foam Core, Balsa and Other Types), End User and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Core Materials for Composites Market is accounted for $1,937.5 million in 2022 and is expected to reach $3,584.9 million by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 10.7% during the forecast period. In order to create high-strength-to-weight ratio structures for end-use applications, core or structural materials are lightweight and make use of high-strength materials. These components serve as the main building block in the production of sandwich panels and are often constructed of engineering materials like foam, wood, or paper. Typically, the matrix material holds the core material in place between two layers of reinforcement material. Various materials, including foam, honeycomb, balsa wood, and metal, can be used to create it.
According to the US Department of Energy, the demand for wind energy in the US is expected to grow by 20% by 2030. The European Commission has set a target of generating 27% of its energy from renewable sources by 2030, which is expected to drive the demand for composites in wind energy applications.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Growth in the aerospace industry
Due to its special characteristics, including high strength, remarkable flexibility, radar transparency, and low thermal conductivity, the product is heavily utilised in flight vehicles, unscrewed air vehicles, and airships, which is why the market is expanding in tandem with the aerospace sector. The market is expanding as a result of the use of various materials to create the necessary sandwich structure and extra features.
Restraint:
Rising concerns for sustainable production
The growing need for sustainable production methods and environmental concerns can limit market expansion. Industries make panels for flooring, bulkheads, and hatches out of this material for use in sandwich structures. Wood, PET, and PVC are frequently used to create these materials. To produce these polymers and cut the wood, numerous nations have put restrictions in place. These therefore serve as market restraints.
Opportunity:
Rising demand for memory foams
The end-use industries saw an increase in demand for foam materials with memory. This memory foam is frequently used in spray foam, vehicle seats, and other products. Due to their outstanding qualities, foam materials are also becoming more popular in industrial applications. As a result, the market is expanding due to the enormous opportunity created by the increased demand for memory foam.
Threat:
High cost of raw materials
The cost of manufacturing these parts is higher than that of conventional metallic parts, though this could alter as usage and production increase. Additionally, it is difficult to recycle and needs a lot of care. Furthermore, composite materials are more fragile and susceptible to damage as compared to wrought materials. Their repairs have some problems. Therefore, these elements are impeding the market's expansion.
COVID-19 Impact:
COVID-19 affected almost all of the nations in the world. Variations in the supply chain resulted in a halt or reduction in the manufacturing of core materials. As a result, there was little demand for the product and little production. Additionally, because the end-use sectors were operating at their lowest production capacity, the product's makers and suppliers had to contend with low demand for the product. The demand for the product is immediately impacted by the closing of these production facilities because, thanks to its outstanding stiffness, it is frequently used to make dashboard padding, seat constructions, and other things. In addition, it was difficult for the goods makers to balance their business objectives with basic needs.
The foam core segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The foam core segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to their massive usage in the automotive and aerospace industries. It can be improved by creating a structural sandwich out of sheets of composite material and foam components. The market is anticipated to be driven by rising demand for complicated lightweight systems from the aerospace and wind energy sectors as well as low water absorption materials in marine building.
The automotive segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The automotive segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to the growing depletion of oil resources has increased oil prices thereby, boosting the demand for lightweight and fuel-efficient vehicles. The industry is encouraged to use composite materials as a result of the rising need for lightweight automobiles, which is anticipated to increase demand for the raw materials used to make composites.
Region with Largest share:
Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to increasing demand from end-use. Increased demand for automobiles as a result of rising disposable income and a growing population is the cause of the expansion. Furthermore, the region's growing industrialization and government attempts to improve the infrastructure are projected to fuel product use across a range of applications.
Region with highest CAGR:
Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the rapid increase in the region's automotive industry. The major market is expanding as a result of factors including high per capita income and consumer preference for vehicles and trucks. In addition, the existence of a few material manufacturers in the area is anticipated to increase regional material consumption.
