Structural Composites Market Dynamics

The structural composites market is experiencing substantial growth, spurred by technological advancements, sustainability initiatives, and burgeoning demand across several commercial sectors. In aerospace, for example, major players such as Airbus and Boeing are increasingly embracing the application of lighter types of plastic materials, robotic assembly, and the increased use of thermoplastic composites to increase manufacturing efficiency, lower production time and reduce production costs. In addition to technology-based improvements, the structural composites market is seeing an increasing emphasis on sustainability from production and material usage.

Companies such as Constellium, for instance, are exploring lighter aluminum alloys and advanced recycling techniques to exploit the recyclability of aluminum and its lower respective energy costs compared to other metals. They also emphasize to customers how aluminum interacts with light left on absents the trace of experience needed from operational perspective used on steel and non-ferrous materials.

Recent Developments in Structural Composites Market

• In June 2025, the World Economic Forum deemed structural battery composites to be one of the top 10 emerging technologies. These composites integrate load-bearing and energy storage functions into a single component, potentially reducing overall system weight by up to 50%.
• In March 2025, Swiss-based cement manufacturer Holcim revealed its "NextGen Growth 2030" strategy, with a target of 6% to 10% annual growth in earnings before interest and taxes, through 2030. Mergers and acquisitions will be the main path for their growth, especially after the anticipated spin-off, and listing of their North American business.
• In March 2025, aerospace firms Airbus, and Boeing were in discussions around increasing jet production rates into the future, increasing their production to around 100 per month. Their plan, if successful, would depend on thermoplastic composites instead of thermoset composites, as they are cheaper by virtue of being lighter, and are faster to produce.
