Increase of Advanced Composites Market in the wind turbine trade over the next eight years

Global advanced composite market is expected to reach USD 33.44 billion by 2024, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. growing market penetration of the product in the automotive and marine application is expected to drive growth over the forecast period. Rising need for sustainable renewable energy source coupled with low capital cost as compared to the majority of conventional sources is have a positive impact on wind turbine market, which in turn is likely to propel growth over the forecast period. The utilization of lightweight materials to reduce the resistance of turbines to wind and increase the production rate of electricity is expected to increase the penetration of advanced composites in the wind turbine industry over the next eight years.

Advanced carbon fibers are expected to gain share owing to the declining prices owing to various process improvements. Increasing investment in the defense subsector is likely to have a positive impact on the demand for aramid fibers. The gradual recovery of the defense industry in North America is expected to be a contributing factor for growth. Furthermore, technologies including fluid handling for manufacturing advanced composites is expected to reduce cycle time, improve yield and reduce wastage & cleaning time which in turn will increase the rate of production and market growth.
