Global Unidirectional Tapes Market – Industry Trends and Forecast to 2028

Market Analysis and Insights : Global Unidirectional Tapes Market

The unidirectional tapes market is expected to be growing at a growth rate of 17.8% in the forecast period of 2021 to 2028. The unidirectional tapes market report analyses the growth, which is currently being growing due to the increasing demand for manufacturing lightweight vehicles.

Unidirectional tapes are utilized as the standard materials in the automotive and aerospace industries. The fiber is typically saturated with the thermosetting resins. The unidirectional tapes are composite materials that are usually based on carbon fiber or glass fiber. These tapes are manufactured utilizing numerous thermoplastic resins and can be modified according to the function. The appropriate sizing of the carbon or glass fiber confirms optimal bonding to the plastic. Therefore, unidirectional tapes have excellent mechanical characteristics. They also have chemical resistance, durability, and fire performance to meet a range of application demands. The unidirectional tapes are utilized in the applications like the automotive and aerospace industries as typical material, sports and leisure industries.

Factors such as the rise in the utilization of the unidirectional tapes in primary and secondary aircraft structures, the growing demand for producing lightweight vehicles, and the initiatives taken by the governments are expected to boost the growth of the unidirectional tapes market in the forecast period. Furthermore, the substitution of the old and aging aircraft, the modernization of existing aircraft and the increase in the need for high-performance materials are few of the other factors anticipated to propel the growth of the unidirectional tapes market.

However, the concerns regarding the recyclability and the high processing and manufacturing costs of the carbon fiber are the factors most likely to further obstruct the growth of the unidirectional tapes market in the timeline period. Additionally, the growing utilization of the unidirectional tapes in new applications, emergence of the aircraft manufacturers in the advancing and developed countries and the rising need for the passenger aircraft in the advancing nations will further extend suitable opportunities for the growth of the unidirectional tapes market in the coming years. Despite that the high manufacturing and the processing expenses of the unidirectional tapes and the market chain recovery from covid-19 influence might further challenge the growth of the unidirectional tapes market in the near future.
