Composite Process Material Kits Market Size, Share, Trend, Forecast, Competitive Analysis, and Growth Opportunity: 2022-2027

Market Highlights

Vacuum consumables, such as vacuum bagging film, release film, peel ply, breathers & bleeders, flow media, sealant tapes, and fittings & hoses, can be sold in the form of rolls or kits. Kits offer several advantages, such as improvement in quality and productivity, and an easy and clean manufacturing process, but usually come at a higher cost. Kits are developed by highly trained employees, so the cost is usually greater than the combined cost of standard rolls and kitting costs performed by technicians of tier players (in-house kitting). Several tier players are relying upon kits than the standard rolls in the wake of the above-mentioned advantages. Even it is found that vacuum consumable suppliers are hammering hard to educate their composites community about the benefits of kits over standard rolls.

The demand for vacuum consumable kits in the composites industry is highly subjected to the performance of major end markets such as aerospace, wind energy, marine, and automotive. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the demand for vacuum consumable kits varies from industry to industry. For instance, aerospace & defense emerged to be the biggest victims with demand falling over 30% in 2020. On the other hand, the wind energy industry flourished with a robust growth in 2020 propelled by huge wind turbine installations in China and the USA. Furthermore, the exceptional growth in the wind energy segment has partially offset the decline enumerated in other markets (aerospace & defense, transportation, and marine). Overall, the composite process material kits market witnessed a mid-single-digit decline in 2021but and is estimated to recoup quickly to reach a value of US$ 147 Million in 2027.

Market Segments' Analysis

Stratview Research has segmented the composite process material kits market based on the end-use industry type as aerospace & defense, wind energy, marine, transportation, and others. Aerospace & defense is expected to remain the biggest demand generator for vacuum consumable kits over the next five years and is also likely to experience the highest growth during the forecast period too driven by a host of factors including an expected recovery in aircraft production, high preference of kits than that of other industries, increasing penetration of composites in the modern aircraft programs, high dominance of prepreg materials in the aerospace composites; and growing demand for the automation in the manufacturing processes. Wind energy is also expected to offer sizeable opportunities in the years to come. It was the only segment that witnessed growth amid the COVID-19 pandemic's wrath.

Based on kit type, the composite process material kits market is segmented as pre-cut shapes, combination kits, welded kits, and others. Pre-cut shape is the most preferred kit type in the market, whereas welded kit is expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period. Pre-cut shaped kits are used for wind turbine blades. They are easy to handle, reducing the requirements for mechanical lifting equipment, ultimately resulting in cost savings.

In terms of regions, North America is expected to remain the largest market over the next five years. The region has been the pioneer in the advanced composites industry with the presence of several small to large-sized OEMs, molders, process material suppliers, and raw material suppliers. Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing market in the post-pandemic market developments. China is the workhorse of the region, driving the region's share significantly.
