Market by Resin Type, Manufacturing Process, Reinforcement Type, Applications, and Regional Outlook | Forecast 2021-2028
A prepreg refers to a
reinforcing fabric that has been pre-impregnated with a resin system. Prepregs
are used in high-performance applications where weight and mechanical
properties have more importance over cost. Both thermoset and thermoplastic
prepregs are lightweight and high-strength composite laminates.
As per Triton Market Research, the global prepreg market was valued at $5907.52 million in 2020, and is expected to reach $12254.15 million by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 9.19% during the forecast period.
Triton’s report on the
prepreg market provides an in-depth insight into the industry. The detailed analysis
of the market includes key insights, Porter’s five forces analysis, market
attractiveness index, vendor scorecard, key market strategies, and the impact
of COVID-19 on the prepreg industry.
With the growth of the
automotive industry, the demand for prepregs is on the rise, which is primarily
driving the market. For instance, Ford Motor Co is using prepregs and other
materials in order to produce rear suspension knuckle. Further, since the past
few years, companies have been increasingly shifting from e-glass to carbon
fiber composite materials for lightweight and fuel-efficient vehicles. Automobiles
are secluded to highly specialized applications utilizing processes with small
volume outputs. Due to advanced R&D in carbon fiber manufacturing
companies, carbon composite materials are incorporated into more diverse
structures in an automobile.
Further, one of the
major opportunities for the prepreg industry is the rising demand for carbon
fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP). A carbon prepreg is a carbon fiber that has
been impregnated with resin. Therefore, it is a preferred material to produce
CFRP. CFRP finds application in beams, columns, slabs, walls, etc. It is
extensively used in retrofitting and repairing structurally deficient
infrastructures, such as buildings, tunnels, parking structures, and bridges. Thus,
with the increasing use of carbon fiber reinforced plastic, the demand for
carbon prepregs is also witnessing a positive trend.
On the negative side, several technical challenges faced during the manufacturing of prepregs are hampering the growth of the market. One of the biggest challenges in the manufacture of prepregs is maintaining the fiber orientations in the product. It is so because prepregs are often cut to suit the requirements and are laid out by hand.
