Global Composites Market: Snapshot
Growing demand for lightweight materials for automotive and aircraft components
and escalating demand for wind energy is anticipated to drive the global composites
market for the next few years. With the growing need for lightweight and high
strength material in automotive, aerospace, and wind mill applications; demand for
carbon fiber is constantly increasing. This is due to the exclusive properties of
carbon fiber such as high tensile strength, stiffness, and temperature tolerance and
low thermal expansion and weight. However, the expensive nature of carbon fiber is
restricting its use in many applications. Carbon fiber composites currently cost
nearly four times the cost of steel. Therefore, reducing the price of carbon fibers is
likely to offer lucrative opportunities for composite manufacturers.
Owing to these reasons, the global composites market is expected to surge at a
CAGR of 8.9% between 2017 and 2025 to reach a valuation of US$101.88 bn by the
end of 2025 from US$47.32 bn in 2016.

Polymer Matrix Composite to Remain Key Product in Global Market
Composites market is segmented on the basis of product as polymer matrix
composite, metal matrix composite, and ceramic matrix composite. In terms of
value and volume, polymer matrix composite segment dominated the global
composites market in 2016. It accounted for more than 95% volume share in 2016.
Metal matrix composites offer some advantages over the polymer matrix
composites such as greater resistance to degradation by organic fluids and higher
operating temperatures. These composites are also more expensive and therefore
offer restricted usage. Ceramic materials are naturally resistant to oxidation and
deterioration at raised temperatures.
Automotive and transportation, construction, aerospace and defense, electrical and
electronics, marine and oil and gas, wind energy, and others. Of these, the
automotive and transportation application segment held more than 25% volume
share in the global composites market in 2016. On the other hand, the aerospace
