Hybrid Composites Market Trends

Global Hybrid Composites Market Research (MRFR Insights)

The  hybrid composites market is projected to register a 13.80% CAGR of from 2022 to 2030. Over the course of the forecast period, it is expected that the market will be driven by rising product demand in end-use sectors like wind energy, aerospace & military, and automotive & transportation. The  hybrid composites market size is expected to reach approximately $1793.50 Million by 2030. Hybrid composites are composite materials made up of two or more different types of fibers woven together in a single matrix, which gives the fabric's characteristics a positive synergistic impact on the composites' general characteristics. In contrast to conventional goods, hybrid composites offer improved mechanical qualities, such as high strength, low density, and excellent impact resistance. Furthermore, the market in the United States is primarily being propelled by the rising demand for lightweight materials in the automotive and aerospace sectors. The two materials that contribute the most to the local market are carbon/glass and carbon/aramid. Over the course of the projected period, capacity expansions and sustained growth in the automotive and aerospace industries are likely to support market expansion. The production of automotive and aviation parts relies heavily on hybrid composite products. Manufacturers are now forced to adopt these materials as metal component alternatives due to growing worries about fuel usage and CO2 emission levels. This will also accelerate market expansion. The demand for products in the automotive industry is anticipated to increase as a result of technological advances that reduce the length of the manufacturing cycle.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The healthcare system is being harmed by the  pandemic's rise. The virus is rapidly spreading throughout numerous industries and developing nations. The hospital is running low on personnel, medications, oxygen beds, and ventilators. Production processes are being interrupted ly due to the breakdown of supply chains. The hybrid composite market is negatively impacted by all of these problems. Furthermore, National lockdowns are common in a number of regions. The market for hybrid composites has seen its growth significantly slow down. The manufacturing of this market is being impacted by price instability and a shortage of raw materials. Numerous chances will arise in the upcoming years due to the need for hybrid composite. In the aircraft industry, hybrid composites will be in high demand. The market for transportation, aircraft, energy, and buildings will see a significant production of new items in the years to come. The market, however, is in a favorable position following COVID 19. During the anticipated period, new developments will occur.

 Hybrid Composites Market Dynamics

The extremely challenging task of creating new kinds of hybrid composites has come to light as a result of the contradicting and disparate criteria for modern composite materials. Due to expanding industries for automotive and transportation, building and construction, aerospace, and marine, among others, the  market for hybrid composites is expanding significantly. Composites made of carbon fiber (CF) and reinforced by polymers are frequently utilized in engineering sectors where strong mechanical qualities and light weight are necessary.

 Market Drivers

  An increase in demand across automotive industry

The external and interior sections of cars are already made from these composite materials by automakers including BMW, Mercedes, Audi, and Volkswagen. These are some of the factors which are anticipated to increase the growth of the hybrid composite market due to the development of various types of hybrid composites in automotive applications, such as the application of automotive pistons, the development of environmentally friendly vehicles, anti-roll bar brake friction materials for medium duty automotive applications, and low-velocity impact response of hybrid carbon/glass fiber-reinforced polymer composites.

Market Restraints:

• Heavy manufacturing and other costs

The increasing pace of hybrid composites will be slowed down by their high production and technical costs. This composite fibers’ high moisture absorption makes the link between the matrix and the fiber less durable. The potential market's growth is anticipated to be hampered by problems such as poor fire resistance and time requirements.

Market Opportunities:

• Rising application across various industries

The market for hybrid composites will have potential for growth as a result of the growing applications, which will also increase the adoption into other markets. Increase the use of glass fiber materials in the transportation and automotive industries. Due to their great strength and light weight, fiber and glass composites are in higher demand in the industry. End customers are drawn to the hybrid material because it offers the high performance and cost-effectiveness of fiberglass. In the upcoming years, this market segment will experience rapid growth.
