The global balsa core materials market size reached US$ 258.8 Million in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 381.7 Million by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3% during 2024-2032.
Balsa core material is a honeycomb-like structure derived from balsa wood, which is widely available in various thicknesses, densities, and forms. It is cost-effective and offers several advantages, including high compression, shear strength, and stiffness. As a result, it finds extensive applications in the production of boats, wind turbine blades and structural composite panels. At present, there is an increase in the utilization of balsa core material in the manufacturing of hovercraft, aircraft, and helicopters across the globe.
The escalating demand for lightweight materials across the globe represents one of the key factors driving the market. Moreover, there is a rise in the usage of balsa core materials in aircraft construction to reduce weight and achieve high tensile strength. This, along with the burgeoning aerospace industry worldwide, is propelling the growth of the market. In addition, the increasing installation of wind turbines due to the limited availability of conventional fuels, such as oil, gas, and coal, and rising environmental concerns are positively influencing the sales of these materials. Besides this, the growing shipping industry on account of the improving international trade is supporting the transportation of goods and raw materials around the world, which is positively influencing the market. Additionally, governments of several countries are extensively investing in the defense industry to enhance national security, which is offering lucrative growth opportunities to investors. Apart from this, the ecological benefits of balsa core materials compared to polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and carbon core materials are stimulating the market growth. Furthermore, key market players are focusing on mergers and acquisitions (M&A), product launches, and expansions to strengthen their overall market share.
