Global Composites Industry Outlook in 2008 and beyond: The Composite Products Market Reached $56 billion in 2007
For the composites industry in 2007, China and India were winners regionally, along with the following global market segments: Wind Energy, Aerospace, and Pipe and Tank. Lucintel expects rapid growth of CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastics) compared to GFRP (glass fiber reinforced plastics) products in future. In last 15 years, the market for GFRP grew by 50%, while market for carbon fiber composite products grew by about 250%. A similar trend is expected in future, with CFRP product growth outpacing GFRP.
Lucintel’s new flagship market study “Global Composites Market 2008 – 2013: Opportunities, Markets & Technologies” identifies over 15 applications and markets, where there will be 5% to 50% annual growth for composites in next 5 years. For example even though marine market is down in the USA, demand for luxury boats / yachts (of sizes over 30’) are growing rapidly in Europe. Composite material suppliers should focus their strategy to align themselves with European yacht builders such as Ferretti, Azimut, Groupe Beneteau, Rodriguez group, Sun Seeker, and more to meet their growing need for large size boats.
