The metal replacement market is projected to reach USD 159.82 billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 9.2% from 2016 to 2021. The key factor propelling the growth of the metal replacement market is the increasing demand for metal replacing materials from the automotive and aerospace & defense industries.
Major end-use industries in the metal replacement market include automotive, aerospace & defense, construction, healthcare, and others. In the automotive industry, metal replacing materials are used in the manufacturing of vehicle body parts, as well as various under-the-hood components. Therefore, increase in automobile production, along with repair & maintenance activities, is likely to propel the demand for metal replacing materials in the automotive industry.
Based on type, the metal replacement market has been segmented into engineering plastics and composites. The engineering plastics segment is further subdivided into polycarbonates, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polyamides, thermoplastic polyesters, polyacetals, fluoropolymers, and others; whereas the composites segment is subdivided into CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastics) and GFRP (glass fiber reinforced plastics). In the engineering plastics segment, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene is estimated to account for the largest market share in 2016, in terms of volume; followed by polyamides and polycarbonates. In the composites segment, GFRP is estimated to account for the largest market share in 2016, by volume. The composites segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period due to high growth in the CFRP market.
The metal replacement market in the Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR between 2016 and 2021. This region has witnessed significant infrastructural development in recent years, which has led to the initiation of several housing construction projects. The region’s construction industry is expected to grow at a healthy rate of 5.8% from 2017 to 2022. This has consequently led to increase in demand for metal replacing materials in the construction sector to replace steel bars for concrete reinforcement as well as to manufacture sewage systems. In addition, the high growth of the market in Asia-Pacific is also attributed to the increasing demand of metal replacing materials to manufacture lightweight and fuel efficient vehicles.
Metal replacement’ application in the aerospace & defense, construction, automotive, and healthcare industry drive the growth of metal replacement market
Automotive
Automotive was the largest end-use industry segment of the global metal replacing materials market in 2015. Automotive industry is growing globally, According to OICA correspondent’s survey, 90.78 billion vehicles were produced in 2015. Metal replacing materials are extensively used in the automotive industry in the manufacturing of connectors, under-the-hood components, body parts, and reflectors & lighting sockets, among others. These materials are used in light automobiles as well as heavy transportation vehicles. For example, engineering plastics are increasingly being used in the automotive industry, as they are lightweight and high performance materials. Automotive manufacturers are adopting engineering plastics as an alternative to metals and glass, since these plastics provide an ideal combination of price and performance. The demand for metal replacing materials is expected to increase substantially in coming years, as various companies operational in the automotive industry are focusing on vehicle weight reduction and improved fuel efficiency, due to the increasing governmental norms and regulations.
Aerospace & Defense
Aerospace & defense is the second largest end-use industry segment of the metal replacement materials market. According to the general aviation manufacturers association 2,331 aircrafts were shipped in 2015. With increasing demand from the general aviation aircraft manufacturers have been searching for an alternative to traditional engineering materials such as metals with equally or more durable lighter materials, as reduction in the weight of an aircraft leads to increased fuel efficiency. The increasing need for the use of lightweight materials instead of metals, without compromising on the strength and durability of the material has led to the adoption of metal replacing materials such as engineering plastics and composite materials in the aerospace & defense industry
Construction
Metals are being replaced by engineered plastics and composites in drainage systems, and electric wiring systems, among others in the construction industry. Metal replacing materials such as glass fiber reinforced plastics are used instead of steel bars used for concrete reinforcement. The global construction industry is expected to reach 12 trillion by 2020. The growth is derived by rising standard of living and increased disposable income in several countries in Asia-Pacific have led to significant infrastructural growth in these countries, which is further contributing to the overall growth of the construction industry. This has consequently lead to the growth of the construction industry in several countries. The growing construction sector in these countries is anticipated to result in the increased demand for materials, such as GFRP for the construction of high strength and durable structures
Healthcare
In the healthcare sector, metal replacing materials are majorly used in the manufacturing of lightweight medical devices. Recently Scientists have developed a composite material that can replace screws and plates used to join bones in an orthopedic surgery. Screws and plates made from these materials are used exactly like traditional materials; the biggest advantage of these materials is that they get dissolved inside the body over a period of time post healing. These new inventions and the consequently increasing demand for use in medical devices is expected to lead to the growth of the metal replacing materials market in healthcare end-use industry.
