[192 Pages Report] The Thermoset Composites Market size was estimated at USD 67.15 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 71.75 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 6.89% to reach USD 107.09 billion by 2030.

Thermoset composites are a class of advanced composite materials consisting of thermosetting resins, hardened or cured through heat or chemical reactions, and reinforcement fibers. These composites are extensively used in aerospace, automotive, marine, electrical, construction, and sporting goods industries owing to their superior performance characteristics such as high strength-to-weight ratio, low thermal expansion coefficient, good electrical insulation properties, corrosion resistance, and dimensional stability under prolonged exposure to harsh environmental conditions. However, the complex manufacturing process of thermoset composites and their environmental impact significantly affect product production and usage. Market players are working on research into novel resins providing enhanced chemical resistance or thermal stability, which can open up new possibilities in demanding environments such as oil & gas exploration or high-temperature industrial processes. In addition, exploring recycling technologies for end-of-life thermosets can contribute to a circular economy approach by reducing waste generation and material consumption.

Regional Insights

The Americas region observes a strong demand for thermoset composites from imports and domestic production to cater to their growing aerospace & defense, automotive, electrical & electronics, and construction industries.
