Balsa Core Materials Market Dynamics

Driver:

The expanding aerospace industry’s product demand is a key factor driving the growth of the balsa core materials market. Commercial aircraft sales are increasing due to growing air services in various countries around the world. This has raised the demand for balsa wood cores, which are used in the manufacture of aircraft sandwich panels to reduce overall vehicle weight.

Restraints:

The material’s low density and inability to absorb resins during panel lamination have been identified as major restraints in the balsa core materials market. Balsa-based core materials have a low density, which makes them prone to breakage and damage in some cases. Furthermore, due to their incompatibility with resins, panel manufacturers find it difficult to use balsa wood as a core material.

Opportunity:

The growing product demand in emerging economies has been identified as the major opportunity in the balsa core materials market. Countries such as China and India have emerged as important locations for wind energy projects, as both continue to invest heavily in the development of power projects. These investments are primarily aimed at achieving national wind energy generation targets. Balsa-based core material is expected to see increased demand from the energy industry in the coming years due to its importance in the development of wind turbines.

COVID-19 Analysis of Balsa Core Materials Market:

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the chemical and material industries, including balsa core materials. Many companies in the balsa core materials industry had experienced manufacturing and production limitations, as well as logistical issues due to the pandemic situation. As, markets are opening around the world, vaccination development, and various government initiatives to support economic and industrial growth. Thus, the future demand for balsa core materials is expected to grow at a positive and consistent rate in the coming years.

Balsa Core Materials Market Segmental Analysis:

By Type

The type segment is bifurcated into contoured end-grain and rigid end-grain. Contoured end-grain accounted for more than half of the global balsa core materials market for structural composites. Between 2020 and 2028, it is expected to maintain its dominance in the global balsa core materials market for structural composites. The contoured end grain configuration of balsa provides high resistance to crushing and is extremely difficult to tear apart and can also withstand high dynamic loads while remaining fatigue resistant. Contoured end-grain balsa core material is widely used in the aircraft, railway, marine, and wind energy industries. The growing popularity of contoured end-grain balsa core material with functional effects has increased demand for contoured end-grain. As a result, the contoured end-grain segment is expected to remain highly appealing throughout the forecast period.
