Prepreg Market Size 2022 To Witness Robust Expansion Throughout The Forecast Period 2030

 Prepreg Market Research Report

The global Prepreg Market isa expected to grow at a CAGR of over 9% to reach around USD 10 Billion by the end of the forecast period. Prepregs are composite materials containing reinforcement fiber pre-impregnated in a certain ratio with a thermoplastic or thermoset resin matrix. Because they are cured at high temperatures and pressures, they have special features. Reinforcement materials used in prepregs improve the mechanical, physical, and chemical properties of composites. This is the case with prepreg materials, which offer high-quality, homogeneous material qualities at a high cost. As a result, prepregs are primarily used in industries such as aerospace, military, automotive, sports, and wind energy for high-performance applications.

The coronavirus outbreak has hampered the growth of the Prepreg Market globally since demand from the automotive and aerospace & military industries has decreased. Across end-use sectors, the pandemic has caused disruptions in operations and the global supply chain. Markets have been slowed or shut down as a result of the disruptions. The automotive and aerospace industries have slowed as a result of the widespread application of lockdown and travel restrictions. Furthermore, the imposition of safety standards and crowd control limits resulted in the closure of public spaces, impacting the athletic goods industry. Manufacturers of COVID-19 alleviation items such as gloves, masks, and sanitizers have shifted/modified their production lines across several end-use sectors.
