The aerospace & defense industry is a major consumer of composites, which in turn increases the demand for composite films. Leading aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing and Airbus are increasing the use of carbon composites, and composite films in their commercial aircraft. Composite films are also used in fuselage, wings, tail, tail fin, wing box, trailing edge, engine nacelles, engine, and other structural parts of an aircraft. Growing environmental concerns and search for high strength lightweight materials to increase fuel efficiency has put composites and simultaneously composite films under the limelight in the automotive industry. As, the composite structures used on automotive would require Class A protection from extreme climates, and scratches.

Recent Developments

In May 2019, Solvay signed a contract with Safran for the supply of high-temperature composites and adhesives. Safran will use these advanced materials on several of its critical engine components. This would strengthen the Solvay in the composite film market.
In September 2018, Solvay inaugurated its state-of-the-art manufacturing center for aerospace structural adhesives, and surfacing films in Wrexham, UK. This has broadened Solvay’s footprint and strengthened its leadership position in the composite film market.

North America accounted for the largest market share in the composite film market
North America holds the largest market for the composite film market. The key reason for this includes the demand for composite films in the aerospace & defense industry in the region. The demand for composite film in aerospace & defense, automotive, and other industries is projected to improve due to product innovation and technological advances made in this sector. According to the 24/7 Wall St. a Delaware corporation, in the US, parts of Florida experience an average of 100 thunderstorm days annually, making Florida the most likely place in the country for lightning strikes. Also, along the US West Coast, annually, an average of 10 thunderstorms is experienced. These factors drive the demand for composite films during the forecast period.
