Report Overview
About polymer composites
Composites are made up of two or more materials with different properties, which are combined to exhibit unique characteristics. Polymer composites are made up of two major components: a polymer matrix and a reinforcing fiber material. A variety of fibers (like carbon, glass, and aramid) and polymer resins (such as epoxy, polyester, phenol, and polyacrylic) are used in manufacturing polymer composites. These polymer composites have applications in the aerospace and aviation, automotive, electronics, energy, and marine segments.
Technavio's analysts forecast the global advanced polymer composites market to grow at a CAGR of 8.13% over 2014-2019.
