Dublin, April 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Global Core Materials Market by Type (Foam, Balsa, and Honeycomb), End- use Industry (Wind Energy, Marine, Aerospace & Defense, Automotive & Transportation, Construction & Industrial), and Region - Forecast to 2028" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The core materials market size is USD 1.6 billion in 2023 and is estimated to reach USD 3.0 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 13.5%, during the forecast period. With important properties including thickness, high stiffness, and low density, core materials are integral parts of sandwich structure composites. Composite layers that encircle these key components provide the construction more strength overall. The remarkable combination of low weight and high strength of core materials has led to their broad acceptance in a variety of end-use sectors. The growing demand for core materials across a range of industries is fueled by the growing awareness of their advantages. The major growth observed in the wind energy segment to boost the market for core materials during the forecast period. 
Foam core materials dominate the core materials market, capturing the largest share among its counterparts. Foam core materials are the material of choice in many different industries because of its adaptability, durability, and affordability. They are essential in sandwich composite constructions because they can give thickness and high stiffness with low density. Different varieties of foam, including PET, PVC, SAN, PMI, and PEI, provide customized solutions to fulfill specific application requirements within this market segment. Of them, PET foam is especially notable because it is made from recycled PET bottles and is renowned for both its outstanding performance and its environmentally friendly qualities. Foam core materials' remarkable qualities and wide range of uses help to drive innovation in the core materials industry and satisfy the changing needs of contemporary industries.
Wind energy is the largest and the fastest growing end-use industry of core materials market, in terms of value and volume both.
The wind energy sector emerges as the largest and fastest-growing segment within the core materials market in terms of value and volume. Wind power has gained a lot of traction because of the global push for renewable energy sources, which has increased demand for essential components. The construction of wind turbine components, especially rotor blades, nacelles, and spinners, depends heavily on core materials because of their lightweight, robust nature, which maximizes energy extraction and ensures structural integrity. The demand for core materials is being further driven by the increasing expenditures made in wind energy infrastructure as governments across the world undertake steps to cut carbon emissions and shift to cleaner energy sources. This strong growth trajectory highlights how important the wind energy industry is to the core materials market as it drives the transition to a more ecologically friendly and sustainable future.
Asia Pacific region to dominate the core materials market during forecasted period.
During the forecasted period, the Asia Pacific region emerges as the largest market in the core material industry. The adoption of renewable energy is being driven by nations like China, India, and Japan, which is driving an unprecedented increase in the region's need for core materials. Because of aggressive goals for producing clean energy and initiatives to allay environmental worries, wind energy in particular has drawn the attention of both governments and investors. The construction of wind farms throughout the Asia-Pacific area is driving up demand for core materials, particularly for the manufacturing of wind turbine components such as rotor blades.
