The core materials are the materials for the enhancement of structural quality used in aircraft and wind energy devices. Core materials typically are of low resistance but their increased thickness allows high bending rigidity with low density for the sandwich composite. In a wide variety of industries, including maritime, wind and aerospace, core components are used. The core material is positioned between the refurbishing layers so that it is fixed to each side of the core material, offering a greater benefit.

The report provides analysis of global Core Materials market for the period 2016-2027, wherein 2020 to 2027 is the forecast period and 2019 is considered as the base year.

Market Insights

The core materials market is increasing at a significant pace due to growth in the wind power industry, increasing utilization of core materials in the aerospace and space industries and higher investment in the maritime sector. However, Delays and uncertainty in renewal of output tax credit (PTC) and the sector, which is heavily capitalized hinder demand growth.

While leading wind turbine makers China, India, Indonesia and other Asian countries are rapidly seeking foam core. Improved aircraft development and space industry growth push the honeycomb core content demand primarily. It is calculated that 1,686 aircraft units will be delivered worldwide, which is expected to drive market growth by 2025 according to Boeing Company and Airbus Group. 

Regional Stance

Asia Pacific region is anticipated to dominate the market led by China owing to the rising demand in emerging countries such as China and India for superior performance and environment friendly goods from the wind energy and aeronautical industries.

North America will have the second largest market share during the projection period. The involvement of original suppliers of aerospace equipment in the area contributes to competition for low weight core materials. Furthermore, the large number of wind turbines drives North America's market growth.

The need for lightweight core materials to be used in the aerospace industry is important in Europe. Europe is expected to see the growing demand for critical materials for numerous infrastructure projects, as one of the most desirable touristic destinations.

Latin America region has been witness to a decline due to the political instability in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela. On the other hand, Africa's market is expected to grow strongly due to the economic growth predicted in the region.
