Hybrid Composites Market Overview

(200pages) A report by DataM Intelligence estimates the global hybrid Composites market to grow at a high CAGR Of 13.50% during the forecast period 2024- 2031. The market is expected to grow due to increasing demand from Industries like Automotive & Transportation, Marine, Aerospace & Defense, Wind Energy etc. The competitive rivalry intensifies with Quantum Composites, Innegra Technologies, LLC., Exel Group World Wide, and others operating in the market.

Hybrid composites provide the strength, wear resistance, and radiopacity necessary for anterior and posterior use. They are composites that have a mixture of two or more reinforcement fibers. The most common hybrid composites are carbon-aramid reinforced epoxy which combines strength and impact resistance and glass-carbon-reinforced epoxy. Hybrid composites are usually used when a combination of properties of different types of fibers wants to be achieved, or when longitudinal as well as lateral mechanical performances are required. Based on the resin, the hybrid composites market is divided into thermoplastic hybrid composite and thermoset hybrid composite. Based on fiber type, the market is classified into carbon/glass, wood/plastic, carbon/aramid, metal/plastic, and others.

Hybrid Composites Market Dynamics

The increasing adoption rate of hybrid composites in various applications and rising demand from emerging and evolving markets are the key driving factors for the growth of the market. The usage of hybrid composites is increasing in various applications like aerospace, automotive, transportation, marine, dental, etc., The benefits of a hybrid composite consist of great bond strength, packability, radiopacity, condensed polymerization shrinkage, the esthetics of ceramic in a composite, exceptional polishability, and non-sticky consistency for easy sculpting. Hybrid composites are light-cured and with an average curing time of 30 seconds, hybrid composites are a popular choice among dentists. For instance, Bisco dental has introduced a few products like Aelite Aesthetic Enamel Dental Hybrid Composite, Aelite LS Posterior Dental Hybrid Composite, AeliteFlo LV Radiopaque Low Viscosity Composite, and many more. 

However, the huge technology cost required for the manufacturing of hybrid composites is a major restraint hindering market growth.
