Composites are lightweight when compared to most woods, metals, and alloys, which is an essential requirement for automobiles and aerospace industries since reducing the weight reduces the amount of fuel it needs and increases the speeds of the automobiles and aircraft. Furthermore, composites are also resistant to damage from weather, temperature changes, and harsh chemicals along with being non-corrosive. For instance, composites can be a good choice where chemicals are handled or stored.
Highly expensive processing and manufacturing is one of the factors restraining the growth of the market.
Further key findings from the report suggest
- The market is segmented on the basis of resin type into thermoset composites, thermoplastic composites and others.
- Thermoset resin dominated the market, with a share of ~59% in 2018.
