複合材料製造技術趨勢對原料的影響

對減肥的日益關注確保了未來的成長潛力

複合材料由兩種或多種不同材料製成，由基體（聚合物）和增強材料（纖維）組成。複合材料幾乎應用於每個行業，其需求正在迅速成長。這是由於對高性能和高能源效率最終產品的需求不斷成長。

各種開式模具和封閉式模具製造技術被用來製造此類產品。包括手工積層、噴射成型、樹脂灌注、模塑成型、射出成型、纏繞成型、拉擠成型、預浸料等。研究的目的是評估每個行業使用的製造技術的現狀，並分析技術進步如何創造成長機會。該行業看到複合材料在大容量市場中的普及不斷提高，複合材料行業可以為原料製造商、複合材料製造商、零件製造商和數位解決方案供應商提供機會。

航太部門是最早採用纖維增強複合材料的領域之一，其次是汽車、船舶、能源和建築零件。這些部門合計佔複合材料產業收益的 70% 以上。隨著OEM轉向或擴展到複合材料替代品，這種材料的高強度重量比繼續改變這些領域的產品。

適當的製造技術會根據零件的尺寸和用途而變化。這些是根據最終產品所需的特性來選擇的。一些特定行業的趨勢正在推動對某些複合材料產品的需求，並促進製造技術的有效利用。例如，汽車產業對具有成本效益的複合材料零件的需求不斷成長，正在推動壓縮和射出成型的使用。此外，隨著氫經濟的發展勢頭，纏繞成型等方法預計將獲得關注。

Increasing Focus on Lightweighting Ensures Future Growth Potential

Composite materials are made from two of more heterogenous materials comprising of the matrix (polymer) and reinforcement (fiber). Composite materials are virtually used in every industry and are witnessing a rapid growth in its demand. This is due to the increasing demand to make end products high-performance and energy efficient.

A variety of open mold and closed mold fabrication techniques are used to manufacture such products. These include hand layup, spray-up, resin infusion, compression molding, injection molding, filament winding, pultrusion and prepreg, among others. The study aims to estimate the current state of fabrication technologies used across sectors and analyze how technological advancements can create growth opportunities. As the industry witnesses a growing penetration of composites in higher volume markets, the composites industry can offer opportunities for raw material manufacturers, composite manufacturers, component manufacturers as well as digital solution providers.

One of the first sectors to adopt fiber-reinforced composite was the aerospace sector, and it was subsequently adopted by the automotive, marine, energy, and construction sectors, among others. Cumulatively, these sectors account for over 70% revenue in the composites industry. The material's high strength-to-weight ratio continues to transform the products in these sectors as OEMs switch or expand to composite alternatives.

Different fabrication techniques are suitable for different part sizes and applications. These are selected based on the desired characteristics of the end-product. Several industry-specific trends are driving the demand for specific composite products, enabling a robust use of manufacturing techniques. For instance, the increasing demand for cost-effective composite parts in the automotive industry boosts the use of compression and injection molding. Further, as the hydrogen economy gains momentum, methods such as filament winding are expected to gain traction.
