Market Segmentation
Segmentation 1: by Application
- Aerospace and Defense
- Automotive
- Sports and Leisure
- Construction
- Others
Aerospace and defense was the largest application for the organosheet and semi-finished thermoplastic UD-tape laminate market in 2021 in terms of value. The demand for organosheet and semi-finished thermoplastic UD-tape laminate in the aerospace and defense application was mainly attributed to the growing need to reduce weight in aircraft manufacturing.
Segmentation 2: by Product
- Organosheet
- UD-Tape Laminate
The UD-tape laminate segment dominated the global organosheet and semi-finished thermoplastic UD-tape laminate market in 2021. UD tapes are widely used in semi-structural and structural applications and selective reinforcement of parts that are being produced by injection molding. UD-tape laminates can be used for a variety of parts with varying geometries by thermoforming laminates. Such parts can withstand harsh conditions (extreme temperature, moisture, and exposure to harsh chemicals).
Segmentation 3: by Raw Material
- Fiber (Glass Fiber, Carbon Fiber, Others)
- Thermoplastic Resin (Polypropylene (PP), Polyamide (PA), Polyetheretherketone (PEEK), Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), Others)
In terms of value, the global organosheet and semi-finished thermoplastic UD-tape laminate industry was dominated by carbon fiber, which was valued at $313.0 million in 2021. The dominance of carbon fiber is attributed to its wide use in the aerospace and defense industry for component manufacturing and extremely higher prices of carbon fiber as compared to other fiber types. In the case of thermoplastic resins, PEEK held the largest share of thermoplastic resins in 2021.
Segmentation 4: by Technology
- Double Belt Press
- Static Press
- Continuous Compression Molding (CCM)
- Others
In terms of value, the global organosheet and semi-finished thermoplastic UD-tape laminate industry was dominated by the double belt press technology, which was valued at $237.7 million in 2021. The dominance of the double belt press is attributed to its wide use in the aerospace and defense industry for component manufacturing. Presently, automotive and sports and leisure industries are also adopting organosheet and semi-finished thermoplastic UD-tape laminate manufactured by double belt press technology, as the product manufactured by the technology is of excellent quality.
Segmentation 5: by Region
- North America - U.S., Canada, and Mexico
- Europe - Germany, France, Spain, Russia, and Rest-of-Europe
- China
- U.K.
- Asia-Pacific - Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Australia, and Rest-of-Asia-Pacific
- Rest-of-the-World - Middle East and Africa and South America
The largest region in the global organosheet and semi-finished thermoplastic UD-tape laminate market is Europe. Europe, with authorities imposing several carbon emission regulations on automobile manufacturers, are propelling the organosheet and semi-finished thermoplastic UD-tape laminate market in Europe. The European aerospace sector is also highly engaged in the manufacture of helicopters, military and civil aircraft, systems, and equipment worth billions. It generates great demand for organosheet and semi-finished thermoplastic UD-tape laminate.
