The market is expected to witness robust growth on account of the increasing use of prepreg materials in the aerospace and automotive industries. Surging demand for light and durable materials with increased efficiency in the manufacturing of aerospace components has driven the prepreg industry in the past few years. Furthermore, the rising use of lightweight blades in wind turbines to improve fuel efficiency is another key driver of the prepreg industry. The prepreg fibers with superior strength and lightweight are vital for the aircraft manufacturing industry. Replacing traditional materials with lightweight composites is an effective path towards meeting the aim of producing lightweight aircraft to increase fuel efficiency, decrease emissions, and reduce material usage, which translates into a growing adoption of prepreg materials.
U.S. led the North America regional prepreg industry in 2022 and will expand further at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Rising demand for materials with low density, low electrical conductivity, and high durability and strength across various industries such as aerospace & defense, automotive, and wind energy is projected to augment the market growth for prepreg.
The aerospace & defense systems manufacturers in the U.S. are registering strong gains from the export of manufactured aircraft parts, which has led to an upward trend in the consumption of prepreg. This can be attributed to the increasing use of prepreg in the parts of aircraft, helicopters, defense aircraft, and aero engines.
High manufacturing costs of aramid, carbon, and glass fibers, which are used as raw materials for the production of prepreg inflate the final product price. Increased raw material prices are projected to pose a threat to market expansion. However, the rising adoption of advanced processing and assembly techniques to minimize the lead time and enhance product quality is projected to benefit the market growth of prepreg.
Major market players of prepreg have a strong presence across the various stages of the value chain including raw material supply and product manufacturing. This enables them to procure raw materials at affordable prices and gain a competitive edge. In addition, companies are focusing on R&D investments to develop high-quality products, which is likely to stimulate industry growth.
Regional Insights
North America accounted for a market share of 37.74% in 2022. It is estimated to grow further at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. This growth is attributed to the rapidly expanding aerospace industry in North America. Rising awareness among the population regarding the benefits of using wind energy is also expected to drive the wind sector market growth.
Asia Pacific is projected to become the fastest-growing regional market at a CAGR of 12.22% during the forecast period. This growth is attributed to rapidly expanding application industries in developing countries including China, India, and Japan. The wind energy application segment is estimated to register the maximum CAGR during the forecast period, while the aerospace & defense segment accounts for the major share of the APAC regional prepreg industry. Europe is estimated to witness steady development over the forecast years.
