Market Dynamics
Driver: Composite materials are in high demand in the aerospace industry
In the optimistic outcome, after 2021, when aerospace companies can operate at full capacity with no travel restrictions or disruptions in the supply chain, demand for composite materials from the aerospace and defense industries will skyrocket. Carbon fiber reinforced composite preforms are widely used in the aerospace industry for the development of complex structures such as turbofan engines and fuselage frames. Carbon fiber reinforced composites' light weight and high tensile strength improve fuel efficiency, lower maintenance costs, and enable OEMs to meet stringent environmental regulations in Europe and North America. Newer advanced aircrafts, such as the Airbus A350 XWB and Boeing Dreamliner 787, have a composite airframe that is 50 percent lighter.
Restraints: Manufacturing technology lacks standardization
Manufacturing and non-recurring development costs continue to limit composites' penetration in a variety of applications, including sporting goods, marine, and consumer goods. The primary concerns are design consistency, process standardization, and maintenance technology. The lack of material and methodology standardization forces manufacturers to consider conservative designs, which impedes mass production and economic performance of automobiles and aircraft. Furthermore, limited human resources with composite training and experience limit the scope of composite applications.
Opportunities: Increasing demand in emerging economies
The glass fiber and carbon fiber composites industries have traditionally been concentrated in Japan, North America, and Europe. However, there has been a significant shift toward emerging economies in Asia Pacific and the rest of the world in recent years. For example, due to the high demand for low-cost carriers, demand for glass fiber and carbon fiber composites in the aerospace, wind energy, and transportation sectors has increased in emerging economies such as India, Brazil, and China. Countries such as China have launched a number of research projects involving glass fiber and carbon fiber composites, and the country's rapid industrialization is likely to meet the increased demand.
Challenges: Availability of low cost technologies
The high cost of composites has been a major source of concern as their use in structural applications has grown. Due to high R&D costs, high manufacturing costs, and increased cycle times, the true potential of composites has yet to be realized. Many applications of aerospace composites have been discovered, but commercialization of these applications has yet to begin due to high cost constraints. Developing low-cost technologies is a major challenge for all researchers and key manufacturers due to the high R&D costs.
“Aerospace & Defense was the largest application for composite preforms market in 2021, in terms of value”
The increasing use of preforms in turbofan engines, fuselage frames of commercial aircraft, and stator vane of jet engines supported the growth of composite preforms in the aerospace and defense application. The expansion of the aerospace & defense industry can be attributed to an increase in the demand for complex structure manufacturing and a reduction in part cycle time.
“North America was the largest market for composite preforms in 2021, in terms of value.”
North America is the largest region in the composite preforms market and is expected to be the leading market for composite preforms during the forecast period due of the presence of key composite preform manufacturers and turbofan engine OEMs in the region.
