Increase in Demand from Aerospace Sector Globally
With ever increasing fuel costs and environmental lobbying, commercial flying is under constant pressure to improve performance, and weight reduction is a key factor in the equation. Textile composites presented a solution to this equation as it is lightweight and promotes fuel efficiency. Other positive attributes include excellent fatigue and corrosion resistance and good impact resistance. Every year, the aerospace industry uses a higher proportion of textile composites in the construction of each new generation of aircraft, due to the provision of all-weather operation of commercial aircrafts and an enhanced vision system. Moreover, characteristics, such as temperature stability and durability, will further fuel the growth of the aerospace textile composites market, over the coming years.
Electrical & Electronics – One of the Largest Application
Textile composites are used in the electrical & electronics industry for their excellent insulating properties. Because of their high-modulus of elasticity, they are used primarily in fiber optic cables and protective enclosures for electrical parts in marine and aerospace applications. They offer flexibility, lightweight, dimensional stability, and increased strength in electro-mechanical cables and fine gauge cables for personal electronic device applications, such as computer power cords, mobile phone cables, MP3 earphone cables, and USB cords. Increasing demand from electronics industry is boosting the studied market.
Asia-Pacific – The Fastest Growing Market
Asia-Pacific region is expected to emerge as the fastest growing market for textile composites in the coming years. Globally, China has the largest defense spending in the world, after United States. The country is planning to boost its military spending by 8.1% in 2018 with the aim to further advance its armed forces. The defense expenditure in China would be over USD 174.5 billion in 2018. India is expected to increase its defense spending by 7.8% in 2018. In Japan, the Ministry of Defense requested a record 5,255 billion yen for 2018. Such positive growth in the defense budget, will increase the use of personal protective equipment in defense, which in turn will increase the usage of textile composites in the defense industry through the forecast period. Furthermore, the growing sports industry too has facilitated the consumption of textile composites in the Asia-Pacific region. Strong growth from various end-user industries is expected to boost the market through the forecast period.
