Opportunities for the UK composites market to reach $1.2 billion by 2024

According to a new market report published by Lucintel, the future of the UK composites market looks attractive with opportunities in transportation, aerospace & defense, construction, wind energy, and others industry. The UK composites market declined in 2018, however it is forecast to grow with a CAGR of 4.1% from 2019 to 2024 to reach an estimated $1.2 billion by 2024. The major drivers in this market are increasing demand for lightweight materials in the aerospace & defense, automotive, and wind energy industries; the UK composites market will also see increased demand due to the need for materials that offer corrosion and chemical resistance in the construction industry.
In this market, glass fiber and carbon fiber are the utilized to manufacture composites parts for various end use industries. Carbon composites are expected to witness the highest growth rate over the forecast period. Increasing penetration of carbon composites in automotive and other weight sensitive applications will spur growth for carbon fiber over the forecast period from 2019 to 2024.
By resin type, thermoset and thermoplastic resins are used to make composite parts. In thermoset, polyester composite is expected to remain the largest market by volume consumption. In thermoplastic resins, polyamide (PA) is expected to remain the largest market by value and volume consumption due to increasing demand in transportation and consumer goods applications.
Within this market, transportation will remain the largest market by value and volume due to increasing demand for lightweight materials to achieve higher fuel efficiency and to reduce green house gas emissions. Wind energy is expected to witness the highest growth over the forecast period due to growth in offshore wind turbine installations.
Emerging trends, which have a direct impact on the dynamics of the industry, include development of low-cost carbon fibers as well as high performance glass fiber, and development of rapid cure resin systems.
