[Research Report] The 3D woven fabrics market size is expected to grow from US$ 120.87 million in 2022 to US$ 266.34 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 14.1% from 2022 to 2028.
3D woven fabrics are light in weight as compared to most woods and metals. The lightweight property of 3D woven fabrics makes their usage important in aircraft, and automobiles, where less weight offers better fuel efficiency. Nowadays, designers of airplanes are greatly concerned with weight, as reducing a craft’s weight reduces the amount of fuel it needs and increases the speed it can reach. Moreover, 3D woven fabrics resist damage from the weather and harsh chemicals. They can be molded into complicated shapes more easily than most other materials.
In 2022, Europe held the largest 3D woven fabrics market revenue share of the global 3D woven fabrics market. The demand for 3D woven fabrics in Europe is increasing due to the rise in R&D activities with respect to the utilization of 3D woven fabrics in end-use industries such as aircraft, automotive, building & construction, and many others. The 3D woven fabrics in Europe has the potential to create opportunities for business, export, and advanced manufacturing applications for aerospace and automotive industries in the region. This has resulted in rapid increase in popularity of 3D woven fabrics in Europe. According to the European Commission, European Union invested approximately US$ 103 billion in research and innovation funding program—Horizon 2021—from 2021 to 2027. It involved funding for developing advanced textiles used in transportation and aeronautics sectors. All these factors positively contribute to the 3D woven fabrics market growth in the region.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on 3D Woven Fabrics Market
Industries such as automotive, aerospace, building & construction, and defense and military have been the major contributors to the demand for 3D woven fabrics. In 2020, these industries had to slow down their operations due to disruptions in the value chain caused by the shutdown of national and international boundaries. The shortage of manpower resulted in the deceleration of 3D woven fabrics production and distribution operations. Disruptions in the global supply chain and shutdown of resin production facilities led to a severe spike in the prices of 3D woven fabrics. Lockdowns imposed by different countries in 2020 hampered the ability of industries to maintain inventory levels. Moreover, sanitary measures and other COVID-19 precautions significantly reduced production capacity, creating a shortage of 3D woven fabrics inventory. However, in 2021, the global marketplace began recovering from the losses incurred in 2020 as governments of different countries announced relaxation in social restrictions. Moreover, rising vaccination rates contributed to improvements in the overall conditions in different countries, which led to conducive environments for industrial and commercial progress. Further, the increasing production capacities in the automobile and other industries in Europe and North America resulted in a rise in demand for 3D woven fabrics in 2021.

Market Insights
Increasing Demand for 3D Woven Fabrics from Automotive and Aircraft Industry
Advanced materials are crucial for boosting the fuel economy of modern automobiles while ensuring safety and performance. Substituting cast iron and traditional steel components with lightweight materials such as high-strength 3D Woven Fabrics reduces the weight of a vehicle body and chassis, thereby reducing the fuel consumption of a vehicle. Moreover, 3D Woven Fabrics are suitable for the manufacturing of nonstructural interior components, seat backs, headliners, interior panels, and dashboards. The utilization of natural fiber-reinforced composites is increasing in aircraft applications due to legislation and regulations forcing manufacturers to use sustainable and recycled materials to manufacture fuel-efficient and lightweight vehicles. In addition, aircraft manufacturers are making efforts to enlarge primary thermoplastic structures in business jets and commercial aircraft. They have been the early adopters of long fiber-reinforced thermoplastics.
Type Insights
Based on type, the global 3D woven fabrics market is segmented into solid, hollow, shell, and nodal. The global 3D woven fabrics market share for the solid segment was the largest in 2022. 3D solid refers to woven architectures with solid cross-sections either in a broad panel or net-shaped preform. It is a structure comprising integrated multiple-walled sections in the directions of fabric width and thickness, defining a cross-sectional shape without any tunnel-like opening in the fabric-length direction. 3D solid consists of multilayer, orthogonal, and angle interlocks. Orthogonal is based on straight yarns. Warp and weft yarn are used to manage fabric thickness. This structure has a greater volume fraction than others. Angle interlock is based on individual layers. Each layer is different from another. 3D solid structures range from two to four layers. The solid segment is expected to grow significantly and would account for growth in 3D woven fabrics market size.
