Construction Composites Market Trends

• 
  

  Growing urbanization is driving the market growth

  
  

The construction sector is constantly expanding due to growing urbanization and rising per capita income in several nations, which will positively impact the market CAGR for construction composites during the course of the assessment period. Numerous construction composite manufacturers are making major investments in R&D operations to develop new, cutting-edge technologies that will add new features and make products that are environmentally benign. The creation of new composite materials employing chemicals and light industrial waste is a focus of interest because it is projected that they will continue to create significant revenue growth over the forecast period. In addition, the number of construction projects being built for both commercial and residential infrastructure, particularly in emerging countries, has increased significantly in recent years.

Furthermore, because of its great tensile strength, superb durability, and exceptionally low weight, fiberglass is quickly becoming the composite with the fastest growth and the most popularity. The overall expansion of the construction composites market is anticipated to be driven by the increased need for effective and efficient fiberglass composite materials to produce the building components for commercial and residential structures.

Additionally, due to their reduced maintenance costs than wood decking and railing products, building composites are becoming more and more necessary in residential and commercial construction. Construction materials with high strength and corrosion resistance are in higher demand, and the market is predicted to develop significantly. Thus, driving the Construction Composites market revenue.

Construction Composites Market Segment Insights

Construction Composites Resin Type Insights

The Construction Composites Market segmentation, based on resin type includes polyester resin, vinyl ester, polyethylene, polypropylene, epoxy resin, and other. During the anticipated period, the polyester resin category held the biggest market share. The flat roofing sector has seen polyester resin's most notable rise in recent years. In addition to being seamless and rigid, flat roofing is also simple to maintain. The chopped strand matting, which is placed on top of hardwood boards, has polyester resin woven into it. This forms the reinforced layer of hardness for the roof. Fiberglass can be used to line concrete lakes.

Construction Composites Fiber Type Insights

The Construction Composites Market segmentation, based on fiber type, includes carbon fibers, glass fibers, natural fibers, and other. Due to its high tensile strength, low thermal expansion, high stiffness, high temperature tolerance, high chemical resistance, and lightweight characteristics, carbon fibers had the biggest market share in 2022. This has resulted in the material's extensive application in product manufacturing in recent years. In terms of compressive and tensile strength, carbon fibers perform better than glass fibers and others. Carbon fibers' shape also doesn't change over time and stays constant even when a constant force is applied to it.

Construction Composites End Use Insights

The Construction Composites Market segmentation, based on end use, includes industrial, commercial, housing, and civil. With the biggest market share, the civil sector is anticipated to expand over the projection period. Building roads, bridges, dams, airports, canals, railway infrastructure, and associated structures all fall under the category of civil construction. A number of Chinese provinces have recently announced big infrastructure projects as we approach the end of 2021. Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in South China launched a number of significant construction projects this week, investing a total of 185.9 billion yuan (USD 29.15 billion). These initiatives span a variety of industries, including transportation, alternative energy, logistics, and fundamental infrastructure.

Construction composites are being utilized more frequently in place of conventional decking and railing materials like wood, aluminum, and steel. Due to the rising need for long-lasting, low-maintenance products in the aforementioned nations, the industrial and residential categories are anticipated to generate the highest levels of income. Additionally, it is anticipated that increased infrastructure spending will boost product demand even more.
