The New Study on ASDReports Reveals The Top Carabon Fibre Composites Companies and Their Competitive Positioning

Monday 8 September 2014, Amsterdam

The brand new report, now available on ASDReports, Top 16 Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) Composites Companies 2014: Leaders in Aerospace, Automotive, Energy, Construction & Sporting Goods analyses in detail the market share and competitive positioning of the leading 16 carbon fibre composites companies.

The author of the report commented that ‘The carbon fibre composites market will exhibit strong growth in the near future across many industry sectors and applications. Carbon fibre composites are a highly competitive market with a myriad of companies competing for market share in what is a highly fragmented market with no company having a dominant position.

The biggest players in the carbon fibre composites market, overall, include Hexcel, Cytec, Toray and Teijin. However these companies by no means have a significantly bigger stake than other leading composite companies as the market is characterised by a high degree of fragmentation.  The composites market is a very specialised market, with most companies producing one type of composite. Cytec, for example, specialise in carbon fibre alone. However, some major global companies produce more than one of the composites. A clear example is Teijin, who produce carbon fibre as well as aramid fibre.

More importantly, many of these companies are important players in the composites market because of their innovation and pioneering approaches. Most of these companies invest heavily in research and development and in ways of finding new applications for composites. The new report believes this trend will increase the size of the carbon fibre and also the overall composites market in the next decade”

The 104 page report contains 76 tables, charts and graphs that add visual analysis in order to explain developing trends within the global composites market. The report provides annual revenues in terms of value (US$) and market share for the Top 16 carbon fibre composites companies,

The report also profiles these 16 leading companies and also includes an interview with a top 20 composites manufacturer, Johns Manville, offering their views on the competition between glass fibre and carbon fibre as well as DSM Composites Resin, providing expert insight alongside analysis.

The Top 16 Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) Composites Companies 2014: Leaders in Aerospace, Automotive, Energy, Construction & Sporting Goods report will be of value to current and future potential investors into the composites industry and market, as well as companies and research centres who wish to broaden their knowledge of the composites market.
