VALUE AND SIZE OF GLOBAL COMPOSITES MARKET

The global composites industry produces parts and products for more than 15 application sectors with an estimated output value exceeding $100 billion and a volume of more than 12 million tonnes in 2021. During this period, the global composites market for composites materials (used to make the applications listed in the table) was estimated at 12 million tonnes and worth $37 billion.

The wind energy market for composites grew by 12.2% in 2020 (when all other sectors declined because of the pandemic) and is a seen as a primary market for METOL with its 100% recycling properties. This more expensive epoxy resin material, which is the closest to METOL in performance, equates to a potential market size of 712,000 tonnes and is worth $3.4 Billion per Annum.
