Composite Fabrication Technologies Market Size: By Segmentation
The global composite fabrication technologies market is segmented on the basis of process into lay-up, filament winding, injection molding, pultrusion, compression molding, RTM, and automated fiber placement (AFP)/automated tape laying (ATL) among others. The lay-up segment is expected to hold the largest market share in the global composite fabrication technologies market during the forecast period. Layup is the most basic method for production of composite fabrications. The process involves placing a layer of fiber in a sequence by using a matrix of resin and hardener. The layup is then allowed to set at room temperature. The curing process can be accelerated by applying heat with an oven. Layup process is a low cost tooling technique and includes a wide choice of material types and suppliers. Increasing production of boats, wind turbine blades, and architectural moldings are expected to fuel the market growth for layup process segment during the forecast period.
On the basis of application, the market is segmented into aerospace and defense, transportation, wind energy, automotive, building and construction products, shipbuilding, medical equipment, and railway equipment among others. The transportation segment is expected to hold the largest market share in the global composite fabrication technologies market during the forecast period. Growing demand for durable and lightweight materials to design, manufacture fuel saving auto, and buses, across the transportation sector is driving the market growth for transportation segment. Environmental regulations regarding emission standards, in North America, and Europe are the major factors driving for introduction of lightweight and fuel-efficient composites in transportation. Aerospace and defense segment is expected to grow at a high CAGR during the forecast period. The growing production of aircrafts across the globe is driving the market growth.
