The global composite strengthening systems market size is expected to reach USD 264.4 million by 2030, and expanding at a CAGR of 7.6% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market growth is attributed to the rising demand for repairs and retrofitting of old buildings worldwide. Moreover, the demand for lightweight and sustainable building materials in the U.S., Canada, South Korea, and Germany is expected to drive the demand for composite strengthening systems over the forecast period.
Composite strengthening systems are used in buildings and infrastructural structures to increase their strength and load-bearing capacity. They are mainly preferred for retrofitting and rehabilitating aging structures as they help improve their service life. The majority of such retrofitting and rehabilitation projects are assigned to contractors who procure the composite strengthening system from the manufacturers and use it.
Some of the major raw materials used to produce composite strengthening systems include carbon fiber and E-glass fabrics. This is due to their high tensile strength, light weightiness, and durability of these materials. These materials improve the load-bearing capacity of the buildings without adding any excessive weight to the structures. Some of the major suppliers of raw materials are JPS Composite Materials, LeapTech, LLC., BGF Industries, Hexcel, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, and Solvay.
Raw materials that are required to manufacture composites include E-glass fabrics, carbon fiber, and others. The individual product markets are characterized by the presence of a large number of suppliers operating across the globe and catering to multiple application industries. However, few composite manufacturers are integrated into their operations and manufacture high-cost raw materials such as carbon fibers. These factors lead to medium to high bargaining power of suppliers over the forecast period.
The high cost of raw materials for composites is likely to challenge manufacturer's procurement operations. Moreover, the growing demand for these raw materials by other manufacturing industries is likely to pose a challenge for composites manufacturers.
