Epoxy Composite Global Market Report 2026

Epoxy composites are polymer materials that utilize epoxy resin to form a polymer matrix reinforced with fibers or other materials. These composites are known for their relatively low density compared to metals and their high strength-to-weight ratios, which make them well-suited for applications in aerospace and automotive industries.

The primary types of fibers incorporated in epoxy composites include glass fiber, carbon fiber, and others. Glass fiber, for example, consists of fine strands of glass used as reinforcement. Various manufacturing processes are employed in the production of epoxy composites, such as lay-up, compression molding, resin injection, resin transfer molding, filament winding, and pultrusion. These composites find diverse applications across various industries, serving end-users like aerospace and defense, automotive, electrical and electronics, wind energy, sporting goods, marine, piping, and more.

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 have influenced the epoxy composite market by increasing costs of imported epoxy resins, carbon fibers, and advanced reinforcement materials. These impacts have been most visible in aerospace, automotive, and wind energy segments across north america and europe. Higher tariffs have raised manufacturing costs and affected project timelines. However, tariffs have supported domestic composite production, local fiber manufacturing investments, and development of alternative reinforcement materials.
