High-performance composites are constructed from high-performance fibers such as carbon, glass, aramid, quartz, ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHWPE), ceramic, boron, and new fiber such as poly(p-phenylene benzothiazole) (PBO) fibers. These materials usually have tensile strength, and high thermal conductivity and are lightweight, and are widely used in applications such as automotive, wind turbines, medical, construction, aerospace, and defense. The factors such as the growing demand for glass and carbon fiber reinforced plastics in airbus aircraft and increasing usage of high-performance composites in wind turbine blades are the root causes fueling up the high-performance composites market growth rate.
Additionally, the Growth in the automobile industry and increasing sales of aircraft impact the growth rate of the high-performance composites market. However, the high raw material costs and fabrication and assembly costs derail the growth of the high-performance composites market. Rising awareness about the advantages of high-performance composites as compared to their substitutes generates various opportunities for the market. COVID-19 has hampered the supply chain across the globe, which poses a challenge to the market’s growth.
The High-performance Composites Market segmentation, based on Material, includes Resins and Fibers. The most widely used polymers in composites are thermosets, which are a form of plastic resin that becomes considerably infusible and insoluble when hardened by heat and chemicals. After it has been cured, a thermoset cannot be restored to its uncured state. Even though almost all thermosets currently in use are made from petroleum feedstocks. Glass Fibers account for the great majority of composite Fibers. Glass Fibers are the most popular and oldest type of reinforcement utilized to replace heavier metal parts in end-market applications. Glass Fiber is heavier and less stiff than carbon Fiber, the second most often used reinforcement, but it is more impact-resistant and has a higher elongation-to-break.
Based on Application, the High-performance Composites Market segmentation includes Aerospace, Automotive & Industrial, Energy, Consumer Goods, Defense, Electronics, Construction, and Others. Aerospace engineering is the primary branch of engineering concerned with the construction of aircraft and spacecraft. Aeronautical engineering and astronautical engineering are two fields that overlap significantly. Aeronautical engineering is similar to avionics engineering, although avionics engineering concentrates on the electronics side of things. The Automotive or Automobile designer is the person who conceptualizes the exterior and interior design of a vehicle. This individual is typically an industrial and design engineer who ensures that their designs are both functional and attractive.
