North America Transportation Composites Market Dynamics:

Challenges:

Strict environmental policies

The North American Transportation composites market has several obstacles, including tight environmental rules and legislation, as well as rising limits and prices for landfill disposal. In addition, the increased use of life cycle assessment as part of the material selection process in a range of markets is putting composite end-of-life waste management under the microscope. Furthermore, growing plastic trash has prompted lawmakers all over the world to establish tough environmental rules. The adoption of single-use plastic legislation in several countries has brought attention to government efforts to solve the problems generated by plastic trash. As a result, tight environmental rules will pose a significant impediment to the North American Transportation composites market's growth throughout the period.

 

Restraints: Lack of standardization in the manufacturing market

North America Leading to a shortage of material and methodological standardization, aerospace and vehicle manufacturers are forced to pick conservative designs, which impedes mass production and economic performance. In addition, there is a paucity of human resources with composites training and experience, which limits the usage of composites in new applications. As a result, the lack of uniformity in the manufacturing market is impeding the market's growth.

 

Recent Development:

Hexcel Corporation and Arkema announced their cooperation project, "HAICoPAS," in July 2020, which received a USD 7 million award. The businesses will work together to develop high-performance PEKK/carbon fiber UD tapes for key aircraft structures. Toray invented a novel prepreg for major structural components in April 2020; vacuum pressure prepreg for aviation. The company hopes to use this innovative technology to meet the growing demand for high-performance CFRP components at low processing costs in a variety of applications, including aircraft and cars. The Toray market launched its two carbon production capabilities at its Zoltek Companies, Inc. The company also advised increasing the production capacity of Zoltek's Hungarian and Mexican facilities as a result of this advancement.

 

North America from 2021 to 2027, is expected to increase at a CAGR of5% with a 25% market share. In the next five years, North America is likely to remain the leading market. With various small to large-sized OEMs, molders, process material suppliers, and raw material suppliers, the region has been a pioneer in the advanced composites market. In the post-pandemic market developments, Asia-Pacific is likely to be the fastest-growing market. China is the region's workhorse, contributing heavily to the region's share. With the increasing need for composite materials in the automotive and aerospace market, composite testing is becoming increasingly popular. Because of their increased strength, superior performance, and outstanding resistance to rupture, corrosion, and wear, composites are used in the transportation market and for interior and exterior structural applications in airplanes. Automotive, aerospace, construction, chemical, medical, energy, and materials are among the market that uses them the most. The primary drivers for the North American and European composite testing markets are rising demand for lightweight components in the automotive market, increased use of composite materials in aircraft manufacturing, and increased investment in wind energy.  

 

In the coming quarters, the composite testing market in North America is likely to develop at the fastest rate. The United States and Canada are the region's most powerful economies. The demand for composite materials is being fueled by the steady growth in vehicle production, which is propelling the market in this region even faster. The increased demand for electric vehicles is fueling the use of composites testing in the region, as electric vehicle components undergo extensive materials testing to build lightweight electric automobiles. Several automakers have stated that they intend to invest heavily in electric automobiles. More than 10 of the world's top automakers have set electrification goals for 2030 and beyond.

 

Moreover, the US Department of Energy (DoE) announced financing of US$ 200 million for batteries, electric vehicles, and connected vehicles projects over the next five years in June 2021 to encourage electric vehicle research. Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Russia, and the rest of Europe account for the majority of the North American composites testing market. France and Russia are North America’s most important aircraft manufacturing hubs, with major aircraft manufacturers such as Airbus, Dassault Aviation, Leonardo, and Thales Group based there. The rising manufacturing rate of aircraft is considerably driving the composites testing market in North America, as the aerospace sector actively undertakes various composite testing to manufacture lightweight aircraft components and parts.

 

North America Transportation Composites Market Segment Analysis:

 

By Type:

Thermoset: Thermoset composites are extremely ideal for usage in cookware, sanitary applications, and appliances because they stay stable at high and dynamic temperatures. Furthermore, thermoset composites have exceptional insulating qualities, making them ideal for working with hot materials and in high-temperature situations. Underwriter Laboratory standards UL94 HB, V-0, & 5VA for electrical applications, as found in UL file E53587, can be formulated to achieve UL approval and flammability performance. Most industrial solvents and caustic substances are resistant to Thermoset Composites. They're perfect for exposed industrial enterprises, food processing, kitchens, and marine areas because of this.

 

Thermoset composites have the property of permanently hardening due to a crosslinking mechanism; as a result, they cannot be recycled or converted.

 

 

Thermoplastic: The fundamental advantage of thermoplastic resins as matrix materials is that, unlike thermoset resins, the composite created may be deformed and reformed. The resulting composite is easily recyclable. In the creation of composites, various types of thermoplastic resins are used as matrix materials. Thermoplastic composites make it simple to create complex material shapes. They can also be utilized to fabricate massive buildings because they can be stored at room temperature. The thermoplastic material softens when the composite pieces are heated, making it thermoformable and heat-weldable. After that, they can be sculpted or welded (a process easy to control, avoiding the use of adhesives).

 

By melting the material, it is feasible to recover and reuse it. Arkema's R&D is particularly interested in the development of thermoplastic resins for composite parts because of all of these advantages.

 

By End User

Roadways: In terms of value, highways are expected to be the fastest-growing mode of transportation. The fastest-growing mode of transportation is likely to be roads. Cars, military vehicles, buses, commercial vehicles, and motorsports, including Formula 1 and touring cars, all use composites. Non-corrosiveness, non-conductivity, flexibility, low maintenance, lifespan, and design flexibility are just a few of the advantages they provide. Glass fiber composites are extensively utilized for interior and exterior components in automobiles. Composites' lightweight capabilities and high strength minimize vehicle weight and fuel consumption, allowing OEMs to meet tough environmental rules. As a result, transportation composites in large trucks are in high demand.
