    MARKET GROWTH FACTORS

    The demand of structural core materials is expected to increase during the forecast period as usage of lightweight materials in aerospace, wind energy, automotive and construction industries is expected to increase due to their ability to provide higher fuel efficiency and lower carbon emissions. Wind energy has also used the strength-weight ratio of the material in turbine designs which use longer blades to increase efficiency, and automotive applications have become more common, for electric vehicles with increased crashworthiness despite reduced weight. Durability and the advent of sustainable composite technologies have increased their potential applications.

    Growing environmental concerns have resulted in the development of eco-friendly core materials in keeping with global sustainability initiatives. R&D investments for developing new materials are likely to increase market growth. In November 2024 for example, 3A Composites Core Materials introduced the Engicore business line, which provides tailor-made, custom-shaped cores to suit manufacturing and sustainability requirements; ensuring a strong global demand and sufficient growth.

    Automated fiber placement, vacuum infusion, and 3D printing are new technologies. They improve composite performance. They reduce costs. They offer lower waste and weight. New resin systems and reinforcements improve the durability of core materials for use in harsh environments. Smart technology embeds sensors into resin to monitor and predict maintenance in high-performance applications, including automotive, marine, aerospace, and renewable energy sectors, which leads to growing demand in these fields.

    Several environmental factors influence the structural core materials market, for manufacturers focusing on biodegradable and recyclable materials to comply with regulations and sustainability initiatives. An example of this is the April 2023 launch of the first sustainable core materials using reprocessed PET. Their insulation performance, low resin absorbency, and light overall weight efficiency provide energy savings within the aerospace, automotive, and construction fields. Sustainable materials, including bio-based resin and renewable fibers, can grow the future market as research and development receive funding.
