Prepreg Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

Based on our research output, there has been a neutral impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The demand for lightweight materials in the automotive sector is notably driving the prepreg market growth, although factors such as prepregs being cost-prohibitive may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the prepreg industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Prepreg Market Driver

One of the key factors driving the global prepreg market growth is the increase in demand for lightweight materials in the automotive sector. With the introduction of new high-speed manufacturing technologies, there has been a significant increase in the demand for carbon fibers to be incorporated in production vehicles (for instance, shift from e-glass) that are further driven by the need for better and fuel-efficient automobiles. Moreover, the reduction in the weight of an automotive has helped original equipment manufacturers to meet the low carbon emission regulations. The US automakers are also trying to achieve the set average fleet fuel efficiency target of 35 miles per gallon (mpg) to 54.5 mpg by 2025, as per the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFÉ) legislation. Steady progress toward material change in key automotive segments such as powertrain, chassis, exterior, and the interior is expected to positively impact the market in focus during the forecast period.

Key Prepreg Market Trend

Another key factor driving the global prepreg market growth is the wind power capacity additions. An increasing number of vendors in the market are focusing on the R&D of technologically advanced products for such applications. The introduction of new low-cost carbon fiber prepregs for wind energy applications is expected to lead to the manufacture of wind turbine blades that are stronger, lighter, and longer, thereby creating more energy compared with shorter blades. For instance, Hexcel offers the HexPly prepreg, which is an advanced epoxy-resin-based carbon fiber prepreg for wind energy applications. There has been a rapid installation of wind energy in various countries such as India, Brazil, and others due to stringent environmental norms of the government to control air pollution. For instance, India is expected to install nearly 20.2GW of wind power capacity between 2021 and 2025 which is more than 50% growth from the 39.2GW currently installed in the country. Thus, the growing wind farm across the various nation of the globe will leverage the prepreg market during the forecast period

Key Prepreg Market Challenge

The R&D and manufacturing costs of prepregs are high. The procedure for testing the application of such materials in sectors such as aerospace and defense is elaborate, time-consuming, and expensive as prepregs have to undergo prepregging before they can be used. Other factors such as rising in the prices of raw materials and fluctuation in the prices of crude oil are expected to have a negative impact on the operating costs of the vendors and their profit margins. In addition, crude oil prices affect the prices of resins and have increased the procurement cost of vendors, hence several offshore drilling companies have started to cut costs by reducing the size of their operation, which has affected the revenue of vendors and the market as a whole. Hence, prepregs are cost-prohibitive which may limit its adoption, thereby impacting the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.

This prepreg market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2021-2025.
