    +1 518 282 4727 Buy Now Inquiry Before Buying 1.1 DEFINITIONS AND SCOPE(1/2) Epoxy composites are a form of polymer material in which a polymer matrix reinforced with fibers or other fillers is made using an epoxy resin. This enables the development of durable components with extremely high strength-to-weight ratios. Epoxy composites have lower densities than metals, which may save a lot of fuel in automobile and aeronautical applications. For polymer composite-based products, a large portion of the load-bearing capacity is provided by fibers like glass, carbon, or even polymers (such as aramids). Epoxy composites offer excellent mechanical properties, such as corrosion resistance, and design flexibility, making them attractive for a wide range of applications. Epoxy composites find applications in various industries, including aerospace, automotive, marine, construction, sports equipment, and electronics. The rise in the growth of the automotive & aerospace sectors would boost the demand for epoxy composite. According to, the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), the total production of vehicles in America is increased from 15,692,927 in 2020 to 17,756,263 units in 2022. Therefore, the rise in auto production would increase the demand for the epoxy composite market during the forecast period. In the construction sector, epoxy composites find applications in infrastructure projects, including bridges, buildings, and pipelines. The lifetime and structural integrity of many building projects are enhanced by the great strength and endurance of these composite materials.

    +1 518 282 4727 Buy Now Inquiry Before Buying 6.1. MARKET DRIVERS (2/3) Source: Expert Insights & IndustryARC Analysis The widespread use of epoxy composites in the aerospace sector Composite materials based on epoxy have become indispensable in the aerospace sector. They are mostly utilized as protective coatings on aircraft to increase their lifespan. According to IndustryARC estimates, the Aerospace & Defense market is estimated to reach $10.32 billion by 2023-2028, increasing at a CAGR of 7.58%. Epoxy's considerable aviation success is not limited to structural composite applications. They have been vital in merging and polishing structural pieces, but they are also necessary for making them last. Epoxy resins are utilized in anti-corrosion coatings and adhesive applications, where they can effectively replace or supplement heavier bonding methods such as mechanical fasteners. Furthermore, structural weight savings have an important side advantage in terms of sustainability in terms of airplane emissions. Indeed, regulatory bodies have already set CO2 emissions targets, and future emissions targets create a problem for the aerospace industry and global carriers. Fiber-reinforced polymer composite materials are fast gaining ground as preferred materials for the construction of aircraft and space crafts. According to Epoxy Europe, around 30,000 new aircraft deliveries are planned over the next 20 years, with approximately 10,000 current planes needing to be refurbished. Epoxy composites reduced the initial 2,000 pieces required for metal-based tail fins to less than 100, reducing weight and production costs. This drives the epoxy composite market and enables airlines to operate successfully in a fiercely competitive global environment. Design and maintenance efforts are primarily aimed at weight reductions for improved fuel economy and lowering service costs to ultimately reduce operating costs.

VALUE/SUPPLY CHAIN ANALYSIS (2/3) The value chain analysis deals with the comprehensive evaluation of each activity involved in the process of any product or service being delivered to the end users. Each stage across the value chain of the product or service is associated with creating some sort of monetary value. The value chain of a product or service can offer the company to examine every activity across the value chain and identify the steps where elimination or modification is essential. The above figure shows a clear and simple structure of the epoxy composites industry's value chain. Despite the fact that the location of a company can be clearly identified by the type of product it produces, some organizations can still play multiple roles in the value chain, depending on the industry they serve. For example, some organizations may be recognized as suppliers of composite material parts or manufacturers of semi-finished materials. Overall, the industry is characterized by low levels of vertical integration. The major steps involved in the contribution of the total value of the epoxy composites are described below: Raw Material Suppliers: It includes the procurement of raw materials including epoxy resins, fibers such as carbon fiber, carbon fiber precursors, glass fiber, and core materials. Epoxy resins are utilized as a bonding matrix in conjunction with glass or carbon fiber fabrics to create epoxy composites with extremely high strength-to-weight characteristics, enabling the production of longer and more efficient rotor blades. Semifinished Material: Semifinished materials cover the materials that go through processes such as “prepreg” (pre- impregnated composite fibers). Prepreg is a composite material or weave of fibers pre-impregnated with a resin (i.e., epoxy resin). Common activities associated with semifinished materials include testing and manufacturing.

China's GDP growth is projected to be in the range of 6.2% and 5.5%, according to projections from the International Monetary Fund. In terms of the value of industrial output, China leads the world. The mining industries (iron, steel, aluminum), coal, machine building, textiles, petroleum, cement, chemicals, consumer goods, food & beverage, automotive, and transportation equipment are some of the major industries in China. The market for epoxy composite materials in China is growing as a result of relatively positive indicators for both the building and automobile industries. The market effects of the recent switchover from old to new models in the automobile sector or the more recent occurrence of market downturn could both be to blame for the country's declining demand for specialist epoxy composite materials. Leading coating producer Axalta declared in September 2021 that work will begin on its brand-new, cutting-edge coatings factory in Jilin Province, North China. The new facility will be in charge of creating mobility coatings for automobiles and other plastic automotive parts.
