Composites are incorporated in our day to day life and helped in the prospering global infrastructure as well as human evolution. Composite materials have vast engineering applications right from transportation to wind energy and oil & gas. Continuous R&D and innovation has played a key role in widening the scope of composite application and is expected to continue over the forecast period. The global composites market has witnessed substantial growth of USD 76 billion in 2016 with CAGR of 8.59% during the review period 2017-2023. Some of the protuberant factors and trends fostering growth of Global Composites Market are rising infrastructure projects in emerging economies and significant increase in consumption of plastic material in the automotive industry. Moreover, composite materials have emerged as new compound material as they play a vital role in current and prospective aerospace components due to superior strength and stiffness to density ratio. Prolific increase in defense budgets and rising air traffic has resulted in significant increase in a number of air fleets across the globe, in turn augmenting the demand for composites.

According to MRFR analysis, the Global Composite Market is segregated as type, resin type and application. Polymer matrix composites emerged as the leading type segment and accounted for over 85% of the overall market share in 2016. This is attributed to simple fabrication method and low-cost process leading to increase consumption in automotive and aerospace industry. Among resin, Thermoset composites were the largest resin segment with over 60% of the overall market share in 2016 owing to superior strength, lightweight, excellent modulus of elasticity, and extraordinary corrosion resistance. Moreover, rapid adoption of fiber-reinforced polymer composites (FRPs) in construction industry has effectively benefit composite structure due to high durability, aesthetic appeal, and low maintenance. Increasing development of composites such as fiber-reinforced composites in wind turbine blades has emerged as a key driving factor for market growth over the forecast period.
