Market Trends of Fiber Reinforced Composites Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Fiber Reinforced Composites Market according to our research experts:
Aerospace Industry is likely to Witness the Highest Growth
- The demand for fuel-efficient and long haul aircraft is the major driving factor for the carbon fiber composite industry.
- Use of carbon fiber composites in wings can reduce the weight of the aircraft by around 50,000 pounds. It offers superior strength to weight ratio, high chemical resistance, high stiffness and low thermal expansion. Also, its mechanical properties can be tailored to the application.
- The use of composite materials in commercial transport aircraft is lucrative as the reduced airframe weight enables better fuel economy and therefore lowers operating costs.
- Reduced maintenance and longer design life, fewer parts, and reduced tooling and assembly costs are some of the reasons driving the market for carbon fiber in the aerospace industry.
- Hence, owing to the above-mentioned reasons, aerospace industry is expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period.
