Composite Film Market

Introduction of the Composite Film Market Report

A minor element reacting with the major element and forms an intermetallic phase, which is then diffused in the major phase is referred as composite films. Some of the characteristics offered by composite films are tenacity, electrical and thermal conductivity, fatigue, strength, density, and corrosion resistance.

Market Dynamic

Key Drivers and Emerging Trends

The factors driving the global Composite Film market include increasing demand for fuel-efficient, lightweight materials and the expanding use of composites in the aerospace & defense industry. The strength-to-weight ratio in the composite films is higher than aluminum or steel, which has increased its demand in several end-use industries. Weight reduction has become an essential aspect of manufacturing industries such as aviation and automobiles. Several companies are already adopting composite films to decrease overall weight and increase the efficiency of the final product. Moreover, composite films can withstand lightning strikes, which is boosting its demand in commercial aircraft such as Boeing 787 and Airbus 350. About 50 percent of this aircraft body is made with composite films. Hence, such factors are aiding in expanding composite film market size.

Restraint in the Composite Film Market

However, the high risks related to the manufacturing process and developing low-cost technologies are key factors restraining the growth of the global Composite Films Market.

Function – Segment Analysis

Based on the Function, the Lightning Strike Protection segment is expected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. The aerospace & defense end-use industry is the largest consumer of lightning strike protection composite film. According to Lightning Technologies Inc., every airplane in the US commercial fleet gets struck by lightning more than once a year, which raises the need for these films on composite panels. Moreover, Airbus and Boeing’s forecast for the next two decades has clearly declared that passenger traffic would increase, resulting in the manufacturing of new aircraft, which would require a huge amount of composite film.

End-User Industry – Segment Analysis

Based on the End-User Industry, the Aerospace and Defense segment is expected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. This segment is the largest consumer of composites, thereby increasing the demand for composite films. Leading aircraft manufacturers like Boeing and Airbus are rapidly adopting the use of carbon composites and composite films in manufacturing commercial aircraft.  They are also used in fuselage, wings, tail, tail fin, wing box, trailing edge, engine nacelles, and various other structural parts of an aircraft. Furthermore, growing environmental concerns and the search for durable, lightweight materials to increase fuel efficiency have shifted the attention of the automotive industry towards composites and simultaneously composite films.

Regional – Segment Analysis:

Based on the region, the North America region is projected to dominate the market during the forecast period. It holds the largest composite film market share amongst other regions. This can be attributed due to the rising demand for composite films in the aerospace & defense sector in the region. Also, the demand for composite film in aerospace & defense, automotive, and other industries is forecasted to surge due to product innovation and advancement in the technological field made in this sector.  In 2019, according to the 24/7 Wall St., LLC, in the US, parts of Florida experience an average of 100 thunderstorm days in a year, making Florida the most likely place in the US for lightning strikes. Additionally, an average of 10 thunderstorms struck along the US West Coast annually. Hence, these factors drive the demand for composite films during the forecast period.
