Here is a feedback from Bill Barz of L & L Products, who recently purchased the previous version of report titled "Global Composites Market 2009-2014".

"The information contained in the Global Composites Market 2008-2013: Materials, Market, and Technologies report is so comprehensive and detailed that it has allowed us to identify and focus our new business development efforts in a market niche that plays to our competencies. This one report has saved months of leg-work."........By Bill Barz, Director of Advanced Development, L&L Products, Inc.

There is a little doubt that composite materials are rapidly becoming a mainstream technology and material of choice within many industries, from aerospace to wind energy. As demand for more composite applications increases in the coming years, gaining insight on major market drivers, supply and demand, price movements, market opportunities and competitive forces proves critically important.

The report titled "Global Composites Market 2009-2014" presents a completely revamped and updated in depth review of the industry which presently finds itself caught in the middle of the global economic crisis. There were dramatic changes in the composites market in 2008 and this report gives valuable insights as to the extent of the decline in major market segments and its ramification in the entire supply chain of the composites industry. It comprehensively details the supply side, demand side as well as the manufacturing sectors undergoing the downturn as well as the sectors with strongest near term upside and potential. The regional snapshots, in addition to the individual market segment analysis, proves useful to material suppliers, part fabricators, OEMs and private equity players to plan their production and investments for 2009 and in near future.

Construction, automotive and marine were market segments that were badly hit in 2008 due to recession in industrialized nations and Lucintel is of the view that the decline in several market segments will continue in 2009. Composites shipment in wind energy, and pipe and tank continued to grow at a healthy rate and, according to Lucintel estimates, holds strong promise, albeit at lower rates, during 2009-2014. Asia emerged as the largest regional market in terms of composites shipment in 2008 replacing North America and is expected to maintain its leadership helped by the growing economies of China and India. The global liquidity crunch, low consumer spending and low business confidence continues to affecteconomies across the world and the decline in composites industry reflects that decline. Lucintel is of the view that economic situation will improve towards the end of 2009 but will take effect in 2010 as stimulus packages in major economies such as the US and China are expected to put the global economy once again into a growth trajectory.
