Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Key Composite Materials Market Driver
The rising demand for composite materials in the transportation industry is the key factor driving the market growth. The automotive segment is becoming increasingly obsessed with carbon fiber consumption, which has increased significantly in recent years. This is due to its reduced CO2 emissions, lightweight construction, and benefits from an e-mobility point of view. Composite materials are very popular in the automotive industry. Their use has increased in recent years with the rapid development of the automotive sector and the demand for lighter vehicles to more reliably meet mileage standards.
Currently, composite materials are used for more than just body panels, including car frames to rims, springs, and truck bed liners. In addition, these materials are damage-resistant, thus providing more safety to the vehicle owner. These materials are corrosion-resistant, thus offering longer durability to vehicles. This will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period
Significant Composite Materials Market Trend
Strategic collaboration, partnerships, and mergers and acquisitions are the primary trend in the market growth. The global composites market is focused on strategic collaborations, partnerships, mergers, and acquisitions. Vendors are partnering to develop new materials that are cheaper and more advanced than their predecessors. For example, in April 2021, Impossible Objects and Ricoh 3D partnered to develop a new carbon fiber-based composite material for printing using composite-based additive manufacturing (CBAM) processes. This new material removes obstacles when printing parts for drones, planes, cars, sporting goods, and more.
Moreover, In March 2021, Composites One, the North American supplier of composites materials and value-added services, announced the completion of its purchase of the Process Materials business from the Solvay Composites Materials Global Business. Such collaborations and partnerships may boost the demand for the materials during the forecast period.
Major Composite Materials Market Challenge
The high cost of composites is a major challenge to market growth. The high cost of composite materials is a major concern associated with their increasing use in structural applications. Moreover, due to its high specific strength and modulus, carbon fiber composite components offer distinct advantages over steel, aluminum, wood, and high-performance plastics. The main raw materials of carbon composites are polymer resins and carbon fibers. The cost of carbon fiber is directly related to the cost and yield of its precursors and the conversion cost. Nevertheless, it is still expensive due to high raw material costs and high demand for skilled workers.
Moreover, many applications of aerospace composites have been discovered, but due to high-cost constraints, the commercialization of such applications is yet to be adopted. Owing to the high R and D costs, developing low-cost technologies is a major challenge for all researchers and key manufacturers. Hence, the high cost associated with manufacturing and developing composite materials will restrict the growth of the market during the forecast period.

North America is estimated to contribute 34% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period. In 2022, North America held the largest market share of the market. This is attributed to the presence of some of the biggest composite material manufacturers and their end-users in the region. Furthermore, in the US, the demand for composites is primarily driven by the increasing demand for lightweight materials in the automotive industry. As composite materials such as glass fibers and carbon fibers provide greater strength than steel and lightweight and non-corrosive properties, they are highly preferred by automotive manufacturers. Moreover, the presence of some of the biggest automaker manufacturers, such as General Motors, coupled with the steady growth of the automobile market in the region, will drive the growth of the regional market during the forecast period.
In 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 negatively affected the demand for this materials across the region. However, the current macroeconomic trends of the aerospace industry show that demand for small- and medium-sized aircraft has started to recover to reach pre-COVID levels in 2022, with aircraft manufacturers focused on narrow-body aircraft being well-positioned to benefit from the increasing demand. Furthermore, with the gradually rising number of air passengers, aftermarket revenues can recover strongly in 2022.
The report forecasts market growth by revenue at global, regional & country levels and provides an analysis of the latest trends and growth opportunities from 2017 to 2027.
