Segment Insights on the Defense Composites Market

The global defense composites market is segmented based on reinforcement type, resin type, application type, and region.

Based on reinforcement type – The market is segmented into carbon composites, glass composites, aramid composites, and ceramic composites. Carbon composite is anticipated to remain the most preferred material type in the market during the forecast period. The lightweight characteristic combined with high-tensile strength gives carbon fiber a clear advantage over its metal counterparts for many military and defense applications. In addition, an expected increase in production rates of the key military aircraft programs is expected to give additional impetus to the demand for carbon composites during the forecast period.

Based on the resin type - The market is segmented into thermoset composites, thermoplastic composites, and ceramic matrix composites. Thermoplastic composite is expected to witness the highest growth in the market during the forecast period. High-impact resistance, strength, sustainability, ease of production, and re-formability are the major factors driving the growth of thermoplastic composites in the defense industry. On the other hand, thermoset composite is anticipated to remain the most dominant category in the years to come.
