Prepreg Market Insights

Prepreg Market is projected to be worth USD 16.8 Billion by 2028, registering a CAGR of 11.7% CAGR during the forecast period (2022-2028), the market was valued at USD 7.71 Billion in 2021. Carbon Fibers have the largest market share in the Fiber segment, as concerns about fuel consumption and CO2 emissions have prompted automakers to use carbon Fiber composite materials. The aerospace and defense industry in application segment is expected to grow rapidly in the forecasted period due to rising demand for highly durable and lightweight aircraft parts, prepreg Fibers.

Prepreg is an abbreviation for pre-impregnated. Prepregs are composite materials made from a high-strength reinforcement fiber that has been pre-impregnated with a thermoset or thermoplastic resin. Thermoset and thermoplastic prepregs are vastly different, although technically both are prepregs. They are typically used by experienced fabricators to reduce the weight of the parts. Aerospace, racing, sporting goods, pressure vessels, and commercial products are examples of typical applications.

Prepreg Market Dynamics

Driver:

Prepreg is used in the aerospace & defense industries, wind energy, sporting goods, automotive, and other end-use industries. The growing number of wind energy projects, as well as the demand for lightweight materials in the automotive industry, is expected to drive the market of prepreg in the wind energy and automotive end-use industries.

Restraints:

Prepreg applications in aerospace, wind, and other industries have grown dramatically. At the moment, prepreg composites account for more than half of the structural mass of large transport airplanes. However, due to the high material and manufacturing costs, further use has been limited. As a result, cost estimation tools must be used early in the design process to reduce the cost of prepreg products.

Opportunity:

Superior strength and lightweight prepreg fibers are critical for the aircraft manufacturing industry. Replacing traditional materials with lightweight composites is an efficient way to achieve the goal of producing lightweight aircraft to improve fuel efficiency, reduce emissions, and lower material usage, which provides the opportunity for prepreg material.

COVID-19 Analysis of Prepreg Market:

The COVID-19 outbreak significantly altered global demand for prepreg materials due to a drop in demand from the automotive and aerospace and defense industries. The pandemic has abruptly disrupted operations and the global supply chain in a variety of industries, slowing the growth of the prepreg market. Several countries imposed a lockdown to prevent the virus from spreading further. COVID-19 had the most severe impact on Europe and North America. Companies are dealing with the sudden impact of the pandemic by working efficiently on their supply chain and improving their distribution network in order to capture the demand for prepreg materials in the near future and deal with market fluctuations.
