Covid-19 has impacted the market dynamics, competition, and global supply chain. The revenues have gone down in 2020 and may resume an uptrend gradually from 2021. Companies optimizing their operation and strategy will sustain and beat the competition.
Note: The summary below might not have included insights on covid impact since we have large number of reports.
Tooling for the composites industry refers to the tool or mold used as a base for shaping or manufacturing composite parts. It helps to reproduce complex shapes or textured parts numerous times. It is the most important but under-appreciated silent partner behind every designed part. Tooling has been widely used to shape or texture the shapes/structures for various industries including aerospace & defense, wind energy, transportation, construction, etc.
Composite materials have increasingly been adopted by various industries owing to their noteworthy benefits such as weight reduction, high performance, and corrosion resistance. Tooling materials used for composite parts’ fabrication are crucial elements to get desired efficiency, shape, design, and mechanical performance. Cost of tooling increases with the increase in complexity, part surface finish, mold’s ability to withstand repeated production cycles, dimensional accuracy, and mold’s ability to withstand integral heating under autoclave or oven curing. The selection of tooling material is dependent on several factors such as curing temperatures, required longevity, cost, part size to be formed, and compatible coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) with the part material.
Different materials used for toolings, such as tooling prepreg, aluminum, invar, infusion, and epoxy tooling board, have different degrees of impact amid the pandemic. Also, the impact varies from industry to industry. For instance, the demand for tooling materials in aerospace, transportation, marine, and industrial composite applications witnessed a severe decline, whereas wind energy was not impacted by the pandemic.
Overall, the tooling market for the composites industry recorded a colossal decline of -22.7% in 2020, creating a lag of 5 years in the market. However, the long-term market outlook looks promising backed by an expected recovery in the economy, the rebound of vehicle and aircraft production, increasing penetration of composites across end-use industries, an increasing number of wind turbine installations, and resumption of construction activities. As a result of that Stratview Research estimates the global tooling market for the composites industry may record an impressive CAGR of 7.9% over the next five years to reach US$ 1.6 Billion in 2026.
Based on the material type, the tooling market for the composites industry is segmented as invar, aluminum, other metals, tooling prepreg, infusion, epoxy board, and others. Tooling prepreg is expected to remain the largest as well as the fastest-growing segment of the market during the forecast period due to its excellent properties including outstanding surface finish, higher output with limited labor, consistent thickness, and lower lay-up time. Aerospace is the biggest demand generator for tooling prepreg owing to its excellent coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) match with fabricated composite parts.
Based on the end-use industry type, the market is segmented as aerospace, wind energy, marine, transportation, industrial, and others. Aerospace is expected to remain the dominant as well as the fastest-growing end-use industry type in the market during the forecast period. In the aerospace industry, wings, fuselage, control surfaces, nacelles, doors, ribs, spars, and stringers are the key applications of tooling. An expected recovery in commercial aircraft production, expected entries of COMAC and Irkut, returning in service of B737Max, and increasing penetration of composite materials will drive the demand for advanced composites and so will tooling materials.
Based on the usage type, the market is segmented as serial production and prototype. Serial production is likely to remain the dominant usage type during the forecast period, owing to its advantages such as an increase in productivity, uniformity, lower cost, and faster production cycle. The aerospace, wind energy, and transportation industries are the major users.
In terms of regions, North America is expected to remain the largest tooling market for the composites industry during the forecast period. The USA is the growth engine of the region’s market with the presence of major aircraft OEMs, tier players, raw material suppliers, and composite part manufacturers.
Asia-Pacific is likely to recoup at the fastest rate during the same period. The highest growth of Asia-Pacific is mainly attributable to the increasing aircraft fleet to support rising passenger traffic; the opening of assembly plants of Boeing and Airbus for multiple aircraft programs, upcoming indigenous aircraft, C919, and increase in wind turbine installation. There has been a growing presence of all the leading players in the key Asian markets to tap the growing market potential. China, Japan, and India are projected to be the growth engines of the region’s market.
