根據Stratistics MRC的數據,2024年全球複合材料市場規模為425.7億美元,預計到2030年將達到623.8億美元,預測期內複合年成長率為7.2%。

複合材料是由兩種或兩種以上物理或化學性質顯著不同的組成材料製成的人造材料。將它們組合起來會產生具有不同於單一組件的特性的材料。這些材料由基體(通常是聚合物、金屬、陶瓷)和增強材料(纖維、顆粒、薄片等)組成,可增強強度、剛度、耐腐蝕性和抗疲勞性等特定性能。

根據CompositesWorld統計,2021年中國碳纖維(一種先進複合纖維)的供應量將達到約19,250噸。

航太和汽車產業需求不斷成長

在航太領域,複合材料用於減輕飛機重量、提高燃油效率並增強結構完整性。同樣,汽車行業使用複合材料來減輕車輛重量,從而提高燃油效率並降低排放氣體。這兩個行業都在尋求先進的複合材料,以滿足嚴格的性能標準和監管要求。需求的激增導致對複合材料技術的投資增加,推動整個行業的創新並擴大市場機會。

意識和專業知識有限

由於複合材料的複雜性和特殊應用,人們對複合材料的認知和專業知識有限。許多行業缺乏有效整合和創新複合材料所需的深厚知識和熟練專業人員。此外,訓練和意識不足會導致利用率不高、成本增加、效率降低,阻礙複合材料在各領域的整體潛力,市場拓展受到抑制。

加強基礎建設

複合材料具有良好的強度重量比,使其成為橋樑、道路和建築等現代基礎設施計劃的理想選擇。它能夠抵抗環境因素,並且需要較少的維護,從而提高基礎設施的使用壽命和安全性。此外,永續建築實踐的趨勢正在推動複合材料的採用,這有助於提高能源效率並減少碳足跡。隨著都市化和基礎設施投資的擴大,對先進複合材料的需求持續成長,推動市場擴張。

回收過程複雜

複合材料複雜的回收過程往往是由於基體和增強材料的複雜組合難以分離和再加工造成的。這種複雜性源自於複合材料的高強度和耐用性,這使得它們難以拆卸和重複使用。因此,有限的回收選擇和高昂的處置成本阻礙了複合材料的採用並增加了整體生命週期成本,從而阻礙了市場的成長。

COVID-19 的影響

COVID-19的爆發對複合材料市場產生了重大影響,導致供應鏈中斷、生產停頓以及航太、汽車和建築等關鍵行業的需求減少。停工和限制導致勞動力短缺和計劃延誤,經濟不確定性影響了對新技術的投資。大流行後,該行業正在見證復甦,人們更加關注永續材料和創新製造技術,以應對未來的挑戰。

預計射出成型產業在預測期內將是最大的

射出成型領域預計將出現良好的成長。在複合材料射出成型中,複合材料(通常是纖維增強聚合物基體)在高壓下熔化並注射到模具型腔中。該過程首先將複合材料加熱至熔融狀態,然後將其註入精確設計的模具中以形成零件。此方法可有效製造品質穩定的複雜、高強度零件,廣泛應用於汽車和航太等產業。

預計汽車業在預測期內複合年成長率最高

由於車輛性能、安全性和效率的提高,汽車產業預計在預測期內將出現最高的複合年成長率。它用於車身面板、保險桿和內飾件等各種部件,以減輕重量並提高燃油效率。它還實現了創新設計的可能性並提高了碰撞安全性。隨著汽車製造商尋求更永續的解決方案,複合材料有助於減少排放氣體並提高可回收性,符合更環保、更有效率的汽車產業趨勢。

比最大的地區

由於汽車、航太、建築和電子行業的需求不斷成長,預計亞太地區在預測期內將佔據最大的市場佔有率。中國、印度和日本等國家憑藉著強大的製造地和不斷擴大的基礎設施計劃,在生產和消費方面處於領先地位。技術進步和研發投資正在推動市場開拓。此外,隨著該地區關注風能等可再生能源,複合材料的使用正在增加。

複合年成長率最高的地區:

預計北美在預測期內的複合年成長率最高。美國和加拿大在先進製造和創新方面處於領先地位,並專注於輕質高性能材料。人們對運輸用輕盈、節能材料的興趣日益濃厚,基礎設施計劃數量不斷增加,正在推動市場擴張。此外,可再生能源產業、政府支援和技術進步正在推動該地區對複合材料的需求。

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Composites Market is accounted for $42.57 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $62.38 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period. Composites are engineered materials made from two or more constituent materials with significantly different physical or chemical properties. When combined, they produce a material with characteristics different from the individual components. These materials consist of a matrix (often a polymer, metal, or ceramic) and a reinforcement (like fibers, particles, or flakes) that enhances specific properties such as strength, stiffness, or resistance to corrosion and fatigue.

According to CompositesWorld, China the supply of Carbon fiber, which is an advanced composite fiber, amounted to around 19,250 metric tonnes in the year 2021.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Growing demand in aerospace and automotive industries

In aerospace, composites are used for reducing aircraft weight, improving fuel efficiency, and enhancing structural integrity. Similarly, the automotive sector uses composites to reduce vehicle weight, leading to better fuel economy and lower emissions. Both industries are pushing for advanced composites to meet stringent performance standards and regulatory requirements. This surge in demand leads to increased investments in composite technologies, driving innovation and expanding market opportunities across the sector.

Restraint:

Limited awareness and expertise

Limited awareness and expertise in composites arise from the complex nature of these materials and their specialized applications. Many industries lack in-depth knowledge and skilled professionals required for effective integration and innovation with composites. Furthermore, insufficient training and awareness can lead to suboptimal use, higher costs, and reduced efficiency, inhibiting the overall potential of composites in various sectors and stalling market expansion.

Opportunity:

Rising infrastructure development

Composites offer superior strength-to-weight ratios, making them ideal for modern infrastructure projects such as bridges, roads, and buildings. Their resistance to environmental factors and reduced maintenance needs enhance the longevity and safety of infrastructure. Additionally, the trend towards sustainable construction practices drives the adoption of composites, which contribute to energy efficiency and lower carbon footprints. As urbanization and infrastructure investment expand, the need for advanced composite materials continues to grow, driving market expansion.

Threat:

Complex recycling processes

Complex recycling processes in composites stem from the difficulty of separating and reprocessing the matrix and reinforcement materials, which are often intricately bonded. This complexity arises from the high strength and durability of composites, making them challenging to break down and repurpose. As a result, limited recycling options and higher disposal costs hamper market growth by discouraging adoption and increasing the overall lifecycle costs of composite materials.

Covid-19 Impact

The covid-19 pandemic significantly impacted the composites market, causing disruptions in supply chains, production halts, and reduced demand in key industries like aerospace, automotive, and construction. Lockdowns and restrictions led to labor shortages and delayed projects, while economic uncertainty affected investment in new technologies. Post-pandemic, the industry is witnessing a recovery with increased focus on sustainable materials and innovative manufacturing techniques to address future challenges.

The injection molding segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The injection molding segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. Injection molding of composites involves melting a composite material, typically a polymer matrix reinforced with fibers, and injecting it into a mold cavity under high pressure. The process starts with heating the composite material until it reaches a molten state, then injecting it into a precisely designed mold to shape the part. This method is efficient for producing complex, high-strength components with consistent quality and is widely used in industries like automotive and aerospace.

The automotive segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The automotive segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to its enhanced vehicle performance, safety, and efficiency. They are used in various components, such as body panels, bumpers, and interior parts, to reduce weight and improve fuel efficiency. Their use also enables innovative design possibilities and better crashworthiness. As automotive manufacturers push for more sustainable solutions, composites contribute to lower emissions and increased recyclability, aligning with industry trends toward greener, more efficient vehicles.

Region with largest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period driven by increasing demand in automotive, aerospace, construction, and electronics sectors. Countries like China, India, and Japan are leading in production and consumption due to their robust manufacturing bases and expanding infrastructure projects. Technological advancements and investments in research and development are boosting market growth. Additionally, the region's focus on renewable energy, such as wind power, is increasing the use of composites.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period. The U.S. and Canada lead in advanced manufacturing and technological innovation, with a focus on lightweight and high-performance materials. Growing interest in lightweight, fuel-efficient materials for transportation and increased infrastructure projects drive market expansion. Additionally, the renewable energy sector, government support and technological advancements, fuels demand for composite materials in the region.
