The global prepreg market is likely to showcase a growth of around 11% during the forecast period 2022-2028. Industries like aerospace & defence and automotive are investing heavily in the area of high-performance materials that can provide the next level products. The composite-made component is one of the areas where these industries are very serious as composite offers lightweight products without affecting the performance. Prepregs are composite materials in which a reinforcement fiber is pre-impregnated with a thermoplastic or thermoset resin matrix in a certain ratio. It commonly finds application in aerospace & defence, automotive, renewables, sports equipment, and electrical & electronic industries. For instance, in the aerospace & defence industry, it is used in aircraft interiors, aerospace components, aircraft flooring, and cargo liners whereas in the automotive industry, it is used for automobile parts and components, tooling, and ballistic panels. As global industry is continuously working to reduce the final product weight while offering better strength then previous products, therefore, it is expected that the consumption of prepreg would increase in the foreseeable future.
Insights Presented in the Report
“Amongst reinforcement type, carbon fiber held the prominent share of the market in 2020”
Based on reinforcement type, the market is categorized into carbon fiber, glass fiber, and others. Among these, carbon fiber held a significant share of the market. Large base of application area in industries like automotive, aerospace & defence, renewable energy, and sports are maintaining strong demand for carbon fiber prepreg because carbon fiber composites are 70% lighter than steel, 40% lighter than aluminum, and about 15% lighter than fiberglass composites.
“Amongst end-user, aerospace & defence category held a prominent share in the market in 2020”
Based on end-user, the market is categorized into aerospace & defence, automotive, renewable, sports, electrical & electronics, and others. Among these, the aerospace & defence industry held the prominent share of the market and is expected to maintain a strong position in the market during the forecast period. The aerospace & defence industry is among the front runners in the adoption of prepreg as it is increasingly focusing on reducing the weight of aircraft, to improve the operation cost. Further, the industry is witnessing huge amount of aircraft backlog therefore the industry is expanding its capabilities to reduce the backlog, thus in turn will required large among of components including prepreg.
“Asia-Pacific is likely to showcase significant growth during the forecast period”
For a better understanding of the market adoption of prepreg, the market is analyzed based on its worldwide presence in the countries such as North America (the United States, Canada, Rest of North America), Europe (Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain, and Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, and Rest of Asia-Pacific), and Rest of World. The Asia-Pacific region is expected to showcase bolstering growth during the forecast period. The region is among the largest market for some of the biggest consumer of prepregs like automotive, aerospace & defence, renewable, and electrical electronics. Besides this, increasing investment in the regional economies to cater the growing population and increasing demand among consumers for high quality products due to rising income are some of the factors which is likely to maintain strong growth for prepregs in the foreseeable future. Moreover, rising cost of production in western economies is making other region non-competitive to the Asia-Pacific economies.
