Composites In Marine Market to Reach USD 20.6 Billion by 2032, Growing at 5.48% CAGR from 2024 to 2032

Introduction

Marine composites, encompassing materials like glass fiber-reinforced plastics (GFRP), carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP), and polymer matrix composites (PMC), are revolutionizing the maritime industry. These materials offer superior strength-to-weight ratios, corrosion resistance, and design flexibility, making them ideal for constructing boats, ships, and offshore structures. The composites in marine market is experiencing robust growth, driven by demand for lightweight, durable, and fuel-efficient vessels. This analysis explores the market’s dynamics, drivers, challenges, and opportunities, drawing on recent industry insights.

Market Overview

The Composites in Marine market was valued at USD 12.75 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow to USD 13.45 billion in 2024. By 2032, the market is expected to reach approximately USD 20.6 billion, indicating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 5.48% over the forecast period from 2024 to 2032. The market is segmented by material type (GFRP, CFRP, hybrid composites), application (hull structures, decks, superstructures, propulsion systems), vessel type (recreational boats, commercial vessels, naval vessels), and manufacturing process (hand lay-up, resin transfer molding, vacuum infusion). The market’s growth is fueled by the increasing adoption of composites in recreational boating, cruise ships, and naval applications, with North America and Asia-Pacific leading regional demand.

Key Market Drivers

The primary driver of the marine composites market is the demand for lightweight materials to enhance fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. Composites, such as GFRP and CFRP, reduce vessel weight by up to 30% compared to steel or aluminum, improving performance and lowering operating costs. The global push for sustainability, with stricter environmental regulations like those from the International Maritime Organization (IMO), encourages the use of eco-friendly materials. Polymer matrix composites, which dominate with a 38.1% market share in 2023, offer durability and corrosion resistance, making them ideal for harsh marine environments.

The rise in recreational boating and marine tourism is another significant factor. Driven by demand for powerboats and yachts. The Cruise Lines International Association forecasts 32 million cruise passengers by 2025, boosting composite use in cruise ship construction. Technological advancements, such as vacuum infusion and automated fiber placement, enhance production efficiency and reduce costs, further propelling market growth.

Opportunities and Trends

The marine composites market offers significant opportunities, particularly in sustainable and high-performance applications. Innovations in bio-based resins and renewable fibers are addressing environmental concerns, aligning with the industry’s sustainability goals. The development of hybrid composites, combining GFRP and CFRP, offers a balance of cost and performance, expanding their use in commercial and naval vessels.

Emerging trends include the adoption of composites in autonomous and electric vessels. For example, the Belfast Maritime Consortium’s zero-emission ferries, launched in 2020, utilize carbon fiber composites for lightweight construction. The growing demand for naval vessels, particularly in Asia-Pacific, where China’s navy is projected to expand to 460 ships by 2030, presents a lucrative opportunity. Additionally, the aftermarket repair and refurbishment segment is gaining traction as older vessels are retrofitted with composites for enhanced durability.
