Composite materials domestic consumption to touch 7.68 LT by 2027: Report

The consumption of composite materials in India is expected to witness a sharp uptick and touch 7.68 lakh tonne (LT) by 2027, led by demand from sectors like renewable energy, electric vehicles, defence, among others, according to a report. Composite materials or fibre-reinforced plastics help in circular economy as these are manufactured by combining multiple materials with different properties. Examples of composite materials are polymer matrix, metal matrix, ceramic matrix composites and carbon matrix etc. "The Indian composites material industry is taking the consumption from 5,11,900 tonnes of composites materials in 2021 to 7,68,200 tonnes in 2027," FRP Institute said in its latest research. The composites materials market is also expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.9 per cent over the next five years to reach USD 2.01-billion in 2027 from USD 1.26 billion last year, the Chennai-based body said. The major growth drivers for the industry will be increasing demand from sectors lik
