Many important global players participate in the Brazilian composites industry such as Reichhold, Ashland, Owens Corning, Huntsman, Azko Nobel, 3M along with Brazilian giants such as Elekeiroz, Embrapol, Cromitec, Fiacbras.
 

The Brazilian Composites Industry is expected to reach USD $4.0 billion at a CAGR of 9% in 2013. The market is characterized by a large number of small-sized players in molding and fabrication and a moderate number of material suppliers that are mostly global players. The Brazilian government’s PROINFA program has led to solid investments in wind energy farms which has helped drive increased past and future demand for composites for the the construction of wind turbines.

 

To showcase and explore growth opportunities in the fast growing Brazilian Composites Market, Lucintel is conducting a webinar entitled “Opportunities and Competitiveness of Brazilian Composites Market” on December 10, 2009.
