    Market Insights

    The global braided composites market offers healthy growth opportunities in the entire ecosystem with an expected market size of US$ 407.9 million in 2023. Increasing production rates of the next-generation aircraft, such as A350XWB; increasing production of luxury and hybrid vehicles; increasing demand for lightweight parts with the purpose to enhance fuel efficiency or to reduce carbon emissions; rising concern over reducing VOC emissions; and an excellent performance of braided parts are the key factors propelling the demand for braided composites. Braiding makes composite parts stronger, damage tolerant, and stiffer. The technology is relatively easy to use and produces parts at a lower cost with superior performance. Furthermore, low VOC emission and minimal scrap rate are augmenting the technology’s adoption rate in the various industries.

    Segments' Analysis

    Braided Composites Market Share by End-Use Industry Type

    The global braided composites market is segmented based on end-use industry as Aerospace & Defense, Automotive, Sporting Goods, and Others. Aerospace & Defense is projected to remain the largest segment of the global braided composites market during the forecast period of 2018 to 2023. Fan case containment and fuselage frames are some of the major applications of braided composites in the aerospace & defense industry. Automotive is likely to remain the fastest-growing segment of the global braided composites market during the same period, propelled by increasing production rates of hybrid and luxury cars coupled with rising usage of composites.

    Braided Composites Market Share by Architecture Type

    Based on the architecture type, triaxial braided composite is expected to remain the largest segment during the forecast period. It is the most preferred choice for over braiding of parts, owing to its superior performance. Fan case containment is one of the major applications of triaxial braided composites.
