Global Market Scenario: Dynamics of the Composites Industry - 2009 Release

This is a new worldwide market survey dealing with the evolution and the potential of the composite materials industry from 2008 to 2013.

The survey highlights the fact that the composites industry is growing in volume in correlation with the increase of GDP by country. In the actual global downturn context, the composites market is expected to grow on average at 4% from 60 billion € in 2008 (8.6 million tons) to 80-85 billion € in 2013 (10 million tons).

The main growth drivers for the worldwide composites market should be:

• The growth of the Asian market, especially in China
• The growth of the Wind Energy market worldwide
• The continuing penetration of composites materials in Aeronautics

In terms of processes, more automated processes should keep developing at the expense of manual processes, in particular in Asia, where today they remain under developed compared to North America and Europe.
