Advanced composite materials are high-structural strength materials produced by combining one or more stiff, high-strength reinforcing fibers with a compatible resin system. Advanced composites are used as a substitute for metals and wood composites in many structural applications. Advanced composites comprise structural materials developed for high-technology applications, such as automotive, airframe, and wind turbine structures, for which other materials are not sufficiently stiff. In these materials, stiff and strong continuous or discontinuous fibers, whiskers, or small particles are dispersed in the matrix. Several fibers, including metals, carbon, ceramics, glasses, and polymers, are extensively used in manufacturing advanced composites.
Growing demand for lightweight materials in the aerospace & defense industry is driving the growth of the advanced composites market. The need for fuel economy and efficiency has prioritized lightweight materials in the transportation industry. In addition, advanced composites are increasingly used in wind energy, automotive, and construction industries. Further, the growing adoption of biocomposites is expected to fuel the advanced composites market growth during the forecast period.
The advanced composites market is segmented into five major regions—North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and South & Central America. In 2022, Europe held the largest market share, and Asia Pacific is estimated to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Advanced Composites Market
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the advanced composites market was mainly driven by industries such as automotive, building & construction, aerospace & defense, wind energy, and marine. In 2020, various industries had to slow down their operations due to disruptions in supply chains caused by the shutdown of national and international borders. The pandemic hampered manufacturing processes due to restrictions imposed by government authorities in various countries. Advanced composites have major applications in the aerospace & defense and automobile industries, wherein they are used to manage the body weight of vehicles and fuel management. It is also widely used in the construction sector. Hence, with the reduction in activity in these sectors, the demand for advanced composites also decreased. The pandemic also caused fluctuations in the prices of raw materials. All these factors led to a decrease in demand for advanced composites. However, in 2021, the economies started reviving as various industries resumed business activities. As a result, several industries, including aerospace & defense, automotive and building & construction, showed signs of recovery in their operations. Various industries are also overcoming the consequences of disruptions in their raw material supply chains. With such a promising recovery, the global industrial sector is expected to provide the impetus for the advanced composites market growth in the coming years.
