DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Global Advanced Composite Materials Market - Segmented by Fiber Type, End-user Industry, and Geography - Growth, Trends, and Forecast (2018 - 2023)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The advanced composite materials market is expected to register a moderate growth during the forecast period, 2018 to 2023. Europe is dominating the market, accounting for around 30% of the global market in 2017.
Advanced composite materials are used in various aerospace and defense applications, owing to their properties, such as high strength, stiffness, heat & chemical resistivity, electrical conductivity, and various other thermal and chemical properties, etc. They are widely used in ballistic protective applications, such as, bullet proof vests, protective apparel, such as gloves, motorcycle protective clothing, and hunting gaiters.
Due to their light yet stiff design structures, they are used in the interior of an airplane or a jet, the rotor blades of a helicopter, aircraft seats, and aircraft brakes. Many countries are focusing in growing a domestic defense industry while manufacturing hardware locally. These factors are expected to drive the demand for advanced composite materials, during the forecast period.
