Market Overview:
The Global Structural Core Materials Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 5% during the forecast period. Market growth is driven by increasing product demand from the automobile and aerospace industries.
Structural Core Materials are used in composites mainly to enhance their physical properties. The most commonly used structural core materials are foam, balsa, and honeycomb. Balsa has a high aspect ratio and is extensively used in boat hulls, navy vessels, military aircraft, and industrial tanks, among others. Honeycomb materials include aluminum, paper, polypropylene, and impregnated fiberglass. Honeycomb is used in applications where extremely lightweight panels are required.
Moreover, with rising international trade, the marine sector has seen substantial growth in recent times which, in turn, is projected to have a positive impact on the global structural core materials market. The growing demand for lightweight materials in aircraft, automobiles, and marine vessels due to their high fuel efficiency is expected to be a major factor driving market growth.
