The Global Market for Composites: Resins, Fillers, Reinforcements,

Natural Fibers & Nanocomposites

Published on January 2014

Report Summary

REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY

The emergence of new technologies and markets warrants a reappraisal of the reinforced plastics market, often called 'composites.'

Nanocomposites and long fiber'reinforced thermoplastics are commercially important examples that have begun to impact this

market.

Expanding the use of carbon fiber'reinforced resins has become very important in the automotive industry, replacing many heavier

metallic components.

In addition, a review of reinforced plastics is needed with a view toward appropriately segmenting the major components of this

market into its resin, technology and application components. Reinforcements need to be carefully defined when it comes to their

principal functions and effects on properties of substrate resins since quite a few terms and market estimates used within this industry

are not clear cut.

STUDY GOALS

The objective in updating a study on reinforced plastic composites is to provide readers with a current view of this market in terms of

resin usage and specific applications for each of the key resins in a quantitative manner. In addition, it explains why key resins are

being used in specific applications along with an outlook of this scenario in five years with reasons for using different types of

reinforcements. Lastly the report assesses the recent movement towards using higher performance reinforcements such as carbon

fibers in various industries such as the huge automotive market.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY

This report covers both thermosets and thermoplastics that use reinforcements to increase their respective property profiles for 2013,

2014 and 2019. These fibrous reinforcements include all glass fiber variants, carbon, boron, ceramic, aramid and stainless steel

fibers, and so forth.

There is some confusion as to the overlapping of the terms 'reinforced plastics' and 'composites.' According to standard plastic

dictionaries, these two terms are considered synonymous. One distinction between these two terms, cited by some within the

industry, is that composites refer to those reinforced resins that can 'support a load' or are 'structurally reinforced.' This definition is

also somewhat arbitrary since it is not clear what constitutes 'supporting a load' or 'structurally reinforced.'

Therefore, in this report, to simplify matters, the term 'reinforced plastic composites' will be used to depict market sizes and forecasts.

Since reinforcements are almost always based on fibers, the term 'fiber-reinforced' is somewhat redundant and will not used unless it

is a significant issue.

Within the text of the report, the terms 'reinforced plastics' and/or 'composites' will be used depending on the sources of information

and BCC Research's perception and analysis of these specific instances.

Readers should be aware that, in many instances, upgraded resins have been called both 'reinforced' and/or 'composites.' In addition,

most resins being reinforced with what are called 'advanced' reinforcements such as carbon fibers and aramid are most often termed

'composites' especially in the construction, aerospace, auto and several other industries such as wind energy and anticorrosion,

among others.

Current and forecasted quantitative market estimates will be provided for all appropriate thermoset and thermoplastic reinforced

composites by application, along with detailed descriptions of the major types of reinforcements. Also, many compounded resin

formulations can contain more than one type of reinforcement, such that glass fiber'reinforced composite plastics can contain another

type of reinforcement. Furthermore, the volumes of products shown in the tables refer only to the estimated weight of the resins and

exclude weights of reinforcements. The quantitative information contained in all data tables refers to the global market.

Applications in this report include automotive; construction/infrastructure, including other construction products, panels and bathroom

products; anticorrosion products; marine markets; aerospace (mostly aircraft); electronic parts/components; appliances; and

consumer products such as medical devices, sport and leisure, and lawn/garden products as well as a miscellaneous market, which

covers the power market and other transportation areas such as rail, wind energy products and others.

INTENDED AUDIENCE

Those in the plastic reinforcement/composite market will be most interested in new developments in this field, along with plastic

producers and many in the major end-use industries such the auto, construction, aviation, anti-corrosion and marine markets.

Resin producers will find valuable information in terms of expected increases or declines in specific plastic usage in these markets. It

also seems probable that those companies involved in acquisitions/divestiture activities may be interested in examining this field for

potential new clients.

METHODOLOGY

Both primary and secondary research methodologies were used in preparing this study. A comprehensive review and analysis was

undertaken of literature related to this industry, which is known by several names (e.g., reinforced plastics, composites, etc.).

This analysis included resin usage, applications, markets, technology, producers and suppliers, trade-named products, new

developments, environmental issues and so forth. Follow-up calls were made to clarify and/or expand on key issues pertinent to the

reinforced plastics/composites industry.
