Opportunities for the global composites distributor market to reach $4.8 billion by 2023

According to a new market report published by Lucintel, the future of the global composites distributor market looks promising with opportunities in transportation, marine, wind energy, aerospace & defense, pipe & tank, automotive, marine, construction, electrical/electronics, and consumer goods. The global composites distributor market is expected to reach $4.8 billion by 2023 with a CAGR of 4.7% from 2018 to 2023. The major drivers in this market are increasing demand for composites in North America and Asia Pacific region and presence of large number of medium and small composite part manufacturers.

In this market various types of fibers (glass fiber, carbon fiber, etc) and resins (unsaturated polyester resin, vinyl ester, epoxy resin, etc) are sold by composite distributors to part fabricators. On the basis of comprehensive research, polyester resin is expected to remain the largest material by value and volume and it is also expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period due to increasing demand in construction and pipe & tank industry.

Within this market, construction will remain the largest end use industry due to growth in demand for light weight and non-corrosive materials in industrial, commercial, residential, and civil construction applications as well as prensence of large number of composite part fabricators. Distributors generally serve small to medium size part fabricators as they buy small to mid sized quantitites for various applications.

Asia Pacific is expected to remain the largest region by value and volume and is also expected to experience the highest growth over the forecast period because of growing composites market and presence of a large number of small part fabricators especially for pipe & tank, construction, and consumer goods end use industries.

Emerging trends, which have a direct impact on the dynamics of the industry, include growing of new distributors in emerging countries and increase in product portfolio. Composites One, North American Composites, Gazechim, Euroresins, Lintech International, FRP Services, IMCD Group B.V., Microtex Composites SRL, Sino Composites, Sumitomo Shoji Chemicals, Sojitz Corporation, and Soon Yang Chemicals, are among the leading suppliers of the composites distributor market.
