Report Scope




This report will cover the thermoplastic prepreg industry. Definitive and detailed estimates and forecasts of the global market are provided, followed by a detailed analysis of the regions, countries and applications. Furthermore, the on-going market trends, market growth drivers and challenges impeding the market are discussed.The market size and estimations will be provided in terms of revenue considering 2020 as base year, and market forecasts will be given from 2021 to 2026. The market size for regional (regions by end use) and country-level (countries by end use) will also be covered. The impact of COVID-19 is also considered while deriving market estimations.The primary difference between thermoset and thermoplastic prepreg is that thermoplastic prepregs are stable at room temperature, have increased toughness and better recyclability. The chemical properties of thermoset become permanently strengthened when exposed to heat. Once thermoset plastics are altered by exposure to heat, they cannot be remolded. Thermoplastics, on the other hand, can be reheated and remolded without changing their chemical makeup.Global markets, thermoplastic prepreg segments and growth forecasts through 2026 are offered. Sales value estimates are based on prices in the supply chain. Market-driving forces and industry structure are examined. International aspects are analyzed for all global regions and for types of thermoplastic prepreg. Profiles of major global manufacturers are presented.This report considers the impact of COVID-19. In 2020, the growth rate of manufacturing industries around the world was severely affected by the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic halted progress in every regional economy. Various governments around the world are taking necessary measures to contain the economic slowdown.The thermoplastic prepreg market is further segmented by reinforcement type: glass fiber prepreg, carbon fiber prepreg and others (aramid, hybrid etc.). By end use, the market is segmented into aerospace and defense, automotive, wind energy, sports and recreation, and electronics, (including civil engineering, marine, etc.).

Executive Summary

A composite material formed from pre-impregnated fibers and a partially cured polymer matrix, combined with liquid rubbers or resins, is known as prepreg. Common resins for thermoplastic prepreg include PE, PET, PP, PEEK, PPS and PE. Prepregs have unique properties as they are cured under heat and pressures. They are generally provided in fabrics that are stitched or woven and unidirectional tapes. When heated, these materials become exceptionally strong and durable, while remaining extremely lightweight compared to traditional metallic solutions. Thermoplastic prepreg has numerous applications in the wind energy, automotive, petroleum production, aviation, marine, industrial, other transportation, medical (including x-ray), and sports and recreation sectors.

The prepreg matrix is made up of a hardener, resin and, in some situations, an accelerator. The resin will not react with the hardener if it is frozen at -20°C. If the cold chain is broken, the reaction begins, rendering the prepreg useless. There are also high-temperature prepregs that may be stored at room temperature for a period. These prepregs can only be cured in an autoclave at a high temperature.

In recent years, lightweight materials have gained economic importance in product design. Thermoplastic prepreg materials are employed in diverse areas, ranging from space shuttles to low-end refractory structures. The commercial application for advanced carbon fiber materials is based on their unique thermal and mechanical properties. Emerging applications such as wind energy, electronics (PCB) and civil infrastructure harness the superior properties of prepreg to lower service-life maintenance costs.
