Functional Composites Market Research Report: Forecast to 2023

Market Overview: Market Research Future (MRFR) speculates that the global functional composites market is likely to experience robust growth, garnering further prominence during the forecast period (2017-2023). The augmenting demand for functional composites in eco-friendly construction is highly favoring the market growth. Functional composites are referred to as compounds which possess special optical, electrical, and magnetic properties. They are extensively used in end-user industries due to their excellent properties such as enhanced stiffness, high durability, and high tensile strength. Functional composites are stronger, lighter, stiffer, tougher, and more durable than other original materials.

Industry Updates February 18, 2019: Stratasys will be showcasing their 3D printing solutions for composite production at the JEC World. The 3D printed composite tooling will provide weight-savings and dramatic cost as compared to other traditional tooling methods. The company’s development of high-temperature materials and increased throughput of its FDM Production 3D Printers has enabled the manufactures of complex composite lay-up in a few hours or days despite weeks or months.

Market Potential and Pitfalls Functional composites are extensively used in several end-user industries such as automobile, aerospace & defense, consumer goods & electronics, and building & construction due to its excellent properties is fueling the growth of functional composites market across the globe. With increasing utilization of functional composites in the medical industry and healthcare sector, the global market for functional composites is likely to flourish. Composites are highly used in wound care. Composed of three or more layers, composite wound dressing offers multiple needs in one single dressing. Films, foam dressing, hydrogels, hydrocolloids, and electrospun nanofibers are some of the composite dressings extensively used in wound care.

Functional composites are also extensively used in the development of eco-friendly constructions which is responsible for the growth of the market. Moreover, accelerating opportunities in the developing economies coupled with the high availability of untapped markets are some of the major factors contributing to the market growth throughout the appraisal period. Moreover, the accelerating growth of the automotive and construction industry is influencing the market growth globally.

On the contrary, fluctuating rates of raw materials and lack of standardization are some of the major concerns estimated to vitiate the market growth in the coming years. Moreover, the complex fabrication
