Market Overview:
Market Research Future (MRFR) speculates that the global
functional composites market is likely to experience robust growth, garnering further prominence during the forecast
period (2017-2023). The augmenting demand for functional composites in
eco-friendly construction is highly favoring the market growth. Functional
composites are referred to as compounds
which possess special optical,
electrical, and magnetic properties. They are
extensively used in end-user industries due to their excellent
properties such as enhanced stiffness, high durability, and high tensile
strength. Functional composites are stronger, lighter, stiffer, tougher, and
more durable than other original materials.
Industry Updates
February 18, 2019: Stratasys will be showcasing their 3D
printing solutions for composite production at the JEC World. The 3D printed
composite tooling will provide weight-savings and dramatic cost as compared to
other traditional tooling methods. The company’s development of
high-temperature materials and increased throughput of its FDM Production 3D
Printers has enabled the manufactures of complex composite lay-up in a few
hours or days despite weeks or months.
Market Potential and
Pitfalls
Functional composites are
extensively used in several end-user industries such as automobile,
aerospace & defense, consumer goods & electronics, and building &
construction due to its excellent properties is fueling the growth of
functional composites market across the globe. With increasing utilization of
functional composites in the medical industry and healthcare sector, the global
market for functional composites is likely to flourish. Composites are highly used in wound care. Composed of three or more layers, composite
wound dressing offers multiple needs in one single dressing. Films, foam
dressing, hydrogels, hydrocolloids, and electrospun nanofibers are some of the
composite dressings extensively used in wound care.
Functional composites are also extensively used in the
development of eco-friendly constructions which is responsible for the growth
of the market. Moreover, accelerating opportunities in the developing economies
coupled with the high availability of untapped markets are some of the major
factors contributing to the market growth throughout the appraisal period.
Moreover, the accelerating growth of the automotive and construction industry
is influencing the market growth
globally.
On the contrary, fluctuating rates of raw materials and lack
of standardization are some of the major concerns estimated to vitiate the
market growth in the coming years. Moreover, the complex fabrication process of
composites which includes high cost and intensive labor is likely to dampen the market growth to a certain extent.

Global Functional
Composites Market: Segmental Analysis
The global functional composites market has been segmented on
the basis of type, function, and end-user.
By mode of type, the global functional composites market has been segmented into polymer matrix composites,
metal matrix composites, hybrid matrix composites, and ceramic matrix
composites. Among these, the polymer matrix composites are likely to occupy the
largest share in the market. The growth is
credited to the increasing demand from the aerospace & defense, consumer electronics, and transportation,
with a high impetus on less complex and weight reduction manufacturing methods,
like injection molding.
By mode of function, the global functional composites market
has been segmented into electrical
conducive, thermal conducive, barrier, magnetic, and optic. Among these, the thermal conducive segment is anticipated to
occupy the largest market share owing to the rising use of composites in
eco-friendly constructions in order to
improve energy efficiency during ventilation, heating, and air conditioning
(HVAC) and lighting applications.
By mode of end-user, the global functional composites market
has been segmented into wind energy,
aerospace and defense, building & construction, transportation, consumer
goods, and electrical & electronics.
