The Japan marine composites market size reached US$ 441.9 Million in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 698.6 Million by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.06% during 2024-2032.
Marine composites are made using fibers and resin materials and used to provide shape and reinforce marine components. These components primarily include ferrocement, wood fibers, aramid fiber, carbon composites and glass-reinforced plastic. Marine composites find applications in the production of ducts, ships, gratings, hull shells and piping across Japan, which are further used in the assembling of powerboats, cruise ships and sailboats. This can be accredited to their advantageous properties, including customizability, fuel efficiency, and corrosion resistance.
The thriving maritime industry and the extensive utilization of marine components in the manufacturing of recreational boats are among the major factors strengthening the growth of the market. Marine composites offer improved noise damping features, lower magnetic signature, and a high strength-to-weight ratio. Additionally, the expanding cargo movement and marine transportation activities, in confluence with the escalating demand for power, luxury and high-speed boats and yachts, represents another significant factor contributing to market growth. However, the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak and the subsequent lockdown restrictions imposed by the governing agencies of the country have led to a temporary closure of operations at manufacturing firms. This has severely affected the overall growth of market, but it is gradually witnessing growth as restrictions are gradually uplifted.
