Composite repair and rehabilitation involve the process of strengthening, repairing, and enhancing structures constructed using composite materials. The primary aim of this methodology is to reduce strains in damaged areas of composites, prevent the development or expansion of cracks, and restore the structure to meet its original design requirements.
The principal product types within composite repair and rehab encompass glass fiber composites, carbon fiber composites, and other variations. Carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) or carbon fiber composites are developed by combining carbon fiber with a resin such as vinyl ester or epoxy, resulting in a composite material with superior performance characteristics compared to the individual components alone. Processes involved in creating these composites include hand lay-up, vacuum infusion, autoclave techniques, among others. These composite materials find application across various sectors including civil infrastructure, existing and historic buildings, parking structures, among others. They cater to diverse industries such as aerospace and defense, wind energy, automotive, marine, construction, and other sectors where composite materials play a crucial role in structural reinforcement and improvement.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs are impacting the composites repair and rehab market by increasing costs of imported carbon fibers, glass fibers, resins, adhesives, and specialized repair equipment. North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported high-performance fibers, while Asia-Pacific faces higher costs for export-oriented composite materials. These tariffs are increasing project costs and slowing retrofit timelines. However, they are also supporting local composite manufacturing, regional material sourcing, and innovation in alternative fiber systems.

Major trends in the forecast period include increasing use of fiber-reinforced repair systems, rising demand for structural strengthening solutions, growing adoption in aging infrastructure rehabilitation, expansion of carbon fiber repair applications, enhanced focus on lightweight retrofit materials.
The rapid expansion of the automotive industry is expected to propel the growth of the composite repair and rehab market going forward. The automotive industry involves the production and distribution of self-powered vehicles, including cars, trucks, agricultural machinery, and other commercial vehicles. Composite repair and rehab services help reduce vehicle weight, improve strength, provide superior physical properties, and offer excellent mechanical resistance compared to traditional materials. For instance, in December 2023, according to a report published by Marklines, a Japan-based company, light vehicle seasonally adjusted annualized sales (SAAR) reached 16.08 million units, up from 13.77 million units in December 2022. Total sales for 2023 amounted to 15,608,386 units, reflecting a 12.3% increase compared to 2022. Therefore, the rapid expansion of the automotive industry is driving the composite repair and rehab market.
Major companies in the composite repair and rehabilitation market are focusing on innovative solutions such as composite repair materials that enhance durability. Composite repair solutions involve methods and materials used to restore damaged composite structures, improving their strength and longevity. These solutions often use specialized resins and reinforcements to address issues such as cracks or delamination. For instance, in February 2023, Engineered Composite Solutions (ECS), a US-based supplier of engineered composite repair systems, launched FutureWrap Bio, a sustainable repair solution made with 70% plant oil. This product meets the growing demand for environmentally friendly materials while maintaining high-performance standards in composite repairs.
In November 2023, Henkel, a Germany-based global chemical and consumer goods company, acquired Critica Infrastructure for an undisclosed amount.
