Epoxy Composites Market – Market Overview
Epoxy resins is low or high molecular weight pre-polymeric
or polymeric material which is consist of at least two epoxide groups. It is
extensively used in automotive, aerospace & defence, building &
construction industries. Apart from these industries, the product find its
application in industrial tools, sports equipment, consumer goods, and marine
industry. Growing construction activities, rising demand of vehicles and
commercial aircrafts from emerging economies are the primary factors driving
growth of the market. The light weight vehicle in automotive industry, is set
to uplift consumption of plastic over the coming years.
As per Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs
d'Automobiles (OICA), automotive industry has produced overall 94.97 million vehicles
expanding at 4.5% annual growth in 2016. Lifestyle changes, economic
development, increasing spending economic power of middle class population have

users such as automotive and building & construction industries.
The trend for light weight vehicles in automotive industry
is likely favour growth of the market. As per the industry experts, this trend
may continue in the coming years which may consolidate epoxy composite demand.
Increasing research & development activities along with growing focus on
technological innovations expected to provide fuel for the growth of this
market over the review period. On the other hand, global market growth is held
back by increasing environmental concern. Key industries across the globe are
under tremendous pressure by regulatory bodies to development products which
will have least impact on environment. Moreover, consistent price fluctuations
in the raw material prices, due to changing crude oil prices, also anticipated
to limit the growth of this market. As per the study published by Market
Research Future on Epoxy Composites market, the trend for light weight material
projected to drive demand for Epoxy Composites in the coming years.
