The swift growth of the automotive industry is anticipated to drive the expansion of the composite repair and rehab market in the coming years. The automotive industry encompasses the production and distribution of self-powered vehicles, including cars, trucks, agricultural machinery, and various commercial vehicles. Composite repair and rehab services help reduce vehicle weight, enhance strength, provide superior physical characteristics for automobiles, and offer better mechanical resistance compared to conventional materials. For example, in December 2023, a report from Marklines, a Japan-based advertising firm, indicated that light vehicle seasonally adjusted annualized sales (SAAR) reached 16.08 million units, a notable increase from 13.77 million units in December 2022. Moreover, total sales for the entire year of 2023 amounted to 15,608,386 units, representing a 12.3% increase compared to the end of 2022. Therefore, the rapid growth of the automotive industry is fueling the composite repair and rehab market.

The burgeoning wind energy sector is expected to further fuel the growth of the composite repair and rehab market. The wind energy sector, also known as the wind power industry, involves the development, production, and utilization of wind energy for electricity generation. As the wind energy sector continues to grow, with the installation of new wind turbines to meet the rising demand for renewable energy, there is an associated increase in the installed base of wind turbines. This expansion raises the likelihood of maintenance and repair requirements, making composite repair and rehabilitation services critical for addressing structural issues in turbine blades. According to the International Energy Agency, wind power generation exceeded 2,100 TWh in 2022, marking a record increase of 265 TWh (14%). Achieving further growth in wind energy generation will require substantial yearly capacity increases, from approximately 75 GW in 2022 to 350 GW in 2030. This growth trajectory underscores the pivotal role of composite repair and rehab services in supporting the wind energy sector and driving the overall market.

Product innovation stands out as a key and increasingly popular trend in the composite repair and rehab market, with major companies actively developing revolutionary products to enhance their market share. A notable example is Engineered Composite Solutions Limited, a Scotland-based company specializing in creating, developing, and offering composite repair systems. In May 2022, the company launched FutureWrap Bio, an innovative repair system produced from 70% plant oil. This product is considered groundbreaking in its category, incorporating 70% plant-based oil in its epoxy structure, thus positioning it as a more ecologically sustainable alternative compared to existing composite repair solutions.

Key players in the composite repair and rehabilitation market are concentrating on creating innovative solutions, including composite repair methods that improve durability. Composite repair solutions involve techniques and materials utilized to restore damaged composite structures, enhancing their strength and lifespan. These solutions typically incorporate specialized resins and reinforcements to effectively tackle problems such as cracks or delamination. For example, in February 2023, Engineered Composite Solutions (ECS), a leading supplier of engineered composite repair systems based in the US, introduced FutureWrap Bio, a sustainable repair solution made from 70% plant oil. This groundbreaking product is designed to meet the increasing demand for eco-friendly materials while upholding high-performance standards in composite repairs.

Composite repair and rehabilitation involve the process of strengthening, repairing, and enhancing structures constructed using composite materials. The primary aim of this methodology is to reduce strains in damaged areas of composites, prevent the development or expansion of cracks, and restore the structure to meet its original design requirements.

The principal product types within composite repair and rehab encompass glass fiber composites, carbon fiber composites, and other variations. Carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) or carbon fiber composites are developed by combining carbon fiber with a resin such as vinyl ester or epoxy, resulting in a composite material with superior performance characteristics compared to the individual components alone. Processes involved in creating these composites include hand lay-up, vacuum infusion, autoclave techniques, among others. These composite materials find application across various sectors including civil infrastructure, existing and historic buildings, parking structures, among others. They cater to diverse industries such as aerospace and defense, wind energy, automotive, marine, construction, and other sectors where composite materials play a crucial role in structural reinforcement and improvement.
