The Global Thermoplastic Prepreg Market: Highlights

Thermoset prepregs have been enjoying a long and marvelous history of more than four decades in the aerospace & defense industry. Thermoplastic prepregs offer a series of advantages including faster part cycle time, recyclability, easy to fabricate, and excellent mechanical properties. Major aircraft OEMs such as Boeing, Airbus, and Gulfstream have efficaciously started utilizing the potential of thermoplastic composites from tail to wings to fuselage components in their latest aircraft.

The penetration of thermoplastic composites is not likely to stop here and will rise in future with the advancement of material, technology, and processes. Major thermoplastic prepreg manufacturers are keenly working with tier players and OEMs in order to develop new applications using thermoplastic prepregs.

Thermoplastic prepregs currently account for less than 5% of the global prepreg market; however, it is likely to grow at a faster rate than the overall prepreg market in the coming five years, driven by aerospace & defense and automotive industries. The global thermoplastic prepreg market is projected to grow at an impressive rate over the next five years to reach an estimated value of US$ 193.1 million in 2023.

Increasing production rates of thermoplastic composite rich next-generation aircraft, such as B787 and A350XWB; rising demand for lightweight recyclable parts; reduced part cycle time coupled with lower-processing cost of thermoplastic composite parts as compared to thermoset composite parts; stringent regulations regarding fuel efficiency and carbon emissions in the aerospace and automotive industries are some of the key factors that are burgeoning the demand for thermoplastic prepregs globally.

The key growth drivers of the global thermoplastic prepreg market are:

  • Increasing commercial aircraft deliveries
  • Increasing production rates of next-generation aircraft (A350XWB and B787) programs
  • Increasing penetration of thermoplastic composites in different aircraft types
  • Rising demand for lightweight and reusable parts in automotive, consumer goods and oil & gas industry
  • Low processing cost of thermoplastic vs thermoset composites
  • Reduction in number of parts and faster manufacturing cycle
