Global Composite Testing Market: Overview

A material made up of two or more constituent materials possessing varied physical or chemical properties and is different from individual components is known as a composite material. These composites are highly used in aerospace and defense, transportation, and wind energy applications. Hence, comprehensive testing is carried out on these materials with specific standards known as composite testing. Composite testing is widely used in aerospace & defense sector to evaluate the performance and structural applications. Major commercial aircraft manufacturers such as Airbus and Boeing have developed aircraft such as Airbus A350 and Boeing 787 that constitute almost 50% of the composites in their airframe structures. Aviation giants such as National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and SpaceX widely use composite testing due to resistance fatigue & corrosion and high stiffness-to-weight ratio.

Global Composite Testing Market: Growth Factors

Increasing penetration of composite testing in various application and implementation of stringent regulations to improve the quality of composites are factors expected to fuel the global market growth. High-performance, lightweight, and fuel-efficient materials are in higher demand from airline companies, which contribute to the largest market share. Further, escalating demand for composites in advanced aircraft along with as low-cost carriers in order to meet the demand of increasing new-generation aircraft deliveries may boost the global market in the coming future. Conversely, lack of standardization in manufacturing technologies and other issues related to recyclability may hamper the global composite testing the market.
