Unmanned Composite Materials Market Growth Rate, Product Type and Development Status Forecast by 2022

An unmanned system is a remote or self-piloted machine equipped with all the required sensors, data processing centers, automatic control and communication systems. This system is capable of performing various operations such as military missions, rescue or search missions, civilian surveillance and law enforcement. The global unmanned composite materials market is segmented on the basis of material type, platform and geography. Depending on their application, unmanned systems can be classified into the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), unmanned undersea vehicle (UUV), and unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) categories. The prime objective behind manufacturing them is to derive excellent mechanical properties, durability and cost effectiveness with respect to manufacturing and maintenance, without any added weight.

The composite structure is a natural fit for an unmanned system on account of its ability to impart properties such as strength and stiffness while simultaneously reducing the system’s overall weight. A composite, as the name suggests, essentially comprises two or possibly more distinct materials, one out of which is a binding material (matrix) and the other a reinforcement material (fiber). The former could be metallic, polymeric or ceramic while the fiber could be made from carbon, glass, boron or aramid. The unmanned composite materials market has been advancing over the years owing to the suitably lightweight characteristics of composites. The increasing demand for lightweight and electric conducive composites is a contributing factor.

Disruptive technologies regarding UAV play a pivotal role in the future of aviation, particularly in military applications. The UAV segment holds a significant share in the unmanned system market owing to the increasing usage of target drones, radar decoys, information, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR) aircraft, and combat aerial vehicles to support military and defense operations. This is expected to fuel the demand for unmanned systems in the coming years. On the basis of material type, the global unmanned composite materials market is segmented into carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP), boron fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP), aramid fiber reinforced polymer (AFRP) and so on.

The segment “CFRP” is the primary composite used in the construction of unmanned systems particularly UAV airframes. These composites consist of thermoset resins which are cured when subjected to heating and used along with carbon fiber as a structural component. They are much lighter than GFRP and stronger than metals. On the basis of platform, the global unmanned composite materials market is segmented into unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV), unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) and so on.

The segment “umanned aerial vehicle (UAV)” is further segmented into target drones, radar decoy, ISR, UCAV, commercial and so on. Similarly the segment “unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV)” is classified into remotely-operated vehicle and autonomous underwater vehicle and so on; whereas the segment “unmanned ground vehicle (UGV)” is divided into tele-operated, tethered, semi-autonomous, and fully autonomous and so on. On the basis of geography, the global unmanned composite materials market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East & Africa. North America and the U.S. accounted for a dominant share in the global unmanned composite materials market. Greater emphasis and subsequent expenditure on defense systems by the U.S. government is projected to propel the global unmanned composite materials market.

Based on production, Europe leads the market due to the development of the dual-use system for military and civilian applications driven by countries such as France and Germany. Asia Pacific is estimated to exhibit major growth in the coming year, owing to the rapidly increasing adoption of UAV aircrafts and aerostat systems in China, India, South Korea and Southeast Asia. However, the high costs involved in the manufacturing of unmanned systems may prove to be a hindrance. The key players of unmanned composite materials industry are Royal tenCate N.V., Toray Industries, Cytec Industries, Hexcel Corporations, Teijin Limited, Owens Corning Corporation, Northrop Grumman, Gulfstream Aerospace & Aerovironment, Kratos Defense & Security Solutions Inc. and Cytec Industries Inc.
