Multiaxial Woven Fabrics Market: Strategic Insights

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Multiaxial Woven Fabrics Market

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the multiaxial woven fabrics 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. Multiaxial woven fabrics 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 multiaxial woven fabrics also decreased. The pandemic also caused fluctuations in the prices of raw materials. All these factors led to a decrease in demand for multiaxial woven fabrics. 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 multiaxial woven fabrics market growth in the coming years.

Strong Growth of Composites Industry Drives Multiaxial Woven Fabrics Market Growth

Multiaxial woven fabrics are used for the reinforcement of composite materials. Rising demand for high-performance materials with properties such as high strength-to-weight ratio, good tensile strength, electrical conductivity, and others drives the growth of the composites industry. Also, there is a growing demand for composites from various end-use industries such as automotive, sporting goods, marine, construction, and wind energy. In the automotive industry, manufacturers prefer lightweight materials for manufacturing automobiles while ensuring safety and performance. Lightweight materials have excellent potential to increase fuel efficiency. Composites can reduce the weight of automotive components, which increases their use in the automotive sector. There is also a high demand for composites to be used as construction materials in high-performance sports gear due to their lightweight, high strength, freedom of design, and easy processing and forming characteristics. Composites are used in sports gear such as skis, baseball bats, golf clubs, tennis rackets, and bicycle frames. Composites are highly used in the marine industry as they are durable and lightweight. Composites weigh less than traditional marine construction materials, which makes them suitable for use in boat construction. Further, composites are used as reinforcing materials in several wind energy applications. Rising use of composites in different end-use industries fuels the growth of the composites industry. Hence, the strong growth of the composites industry is bolstering the multiaxial woven fabrics market growth.

Type Insights

Based on type, the global multiaxial woven fabrics market is segmented into bidirectional fabrics, triaxial fabrics, quadraxial fabrics, and others. The quadraxial fabrics segment held the largest market share in 2022. A quadraxial fabric consists of four layers of fiber roving orientation in the 0°, +45°, 90°, and -45°. This fabric provides strength in all directions. They are extensively used for hand layup, injection or infusion, and resin transfer molding. This fabric can be produced with the maximum aerial density compared to any other fabric style.

3D Weaving SaRL, Sigmatex (UK) Ltd, Textum OPCO LLC, Cristex Composite Materials Ltd, Biteam AB, Albany International Corp, Tantra Composite Technologies Pvt Ltd, Parabeam BV, Halarit Composites GmbH, and SGL Carbon SE are a few of the players operating in the global multiaxial woven fabrics market.
