Market Dynamics

Introduction

Core material kitting is the process of cutting the core material into desired shapes of components, flattening surfaces, digitizing data, developing the kit, managing the material supply, and organizing the kit to save time and money, resulting in more productivity and profitability. Core material kitting offers faster and easier dry layup in molds, ease in assembly, an exact fit, and minimum waste. It eliminates on-site shaping and cutting, reduces build times, and saves labor and material costs with consistently high quality in less time. The kitting of core materials can be performed by part fabricators in-house and outsourced to independent kitting solution providers or core material suppliers that also offer kitting services.

The market drivers include:

• Expected Rise in Wind Turbine Installations: Global renewable energy targets and supportive government policies are accelerating wind power projects, fueling demand for turbine components, composites, and specialty materials.
• Expected Increase in Aircraft Fleets: Growing air travel demand and fleet modernization programs are driving increased procurement of fuel-efficient, next-generation aircraft by both commercial and defense sectors.
• Expected Recovery in Automotive Production: Easing supply chain constraints and rising EV adoption are expected to boost global automotive output, supporting upstream demand for components, materials, and electronics.

Segments Analysis

By End-Use Industry Type

“Wind energy is expected to remain the biggest demand generator of the core materials market during the forecast period.”

The market is segmented into wind energy, aerospace & defense, marine, transportation, construction, and other end-use industries. Wind energy is expected to remain the largest market for core material kitting during the forecast period. Rising demand for an alternative source of energy has led to an increased focus by various governments and non-government institutions on the wind energy industry.

Increasing wind turbine installation coupled with the installation of longer rotor blades has resulted in a greater penetration of sandwich panels constructed with foam and balsa core materials. This factor is acting as the prime driver for the core material kitting market in wind energy.

By Core Material Type

“Foam core type to grow over the coming years due to wider acceptance in wind energy, marine, and aerospace & defense.”

Based on the core material type, the market is segmented as foam core and balsa. Foam core is further bifurcated into PVC, PET, and others. Foam core is expected to remain the market’s larger category during the forecast period. Foam core is widely used in wind energy and marine composite parts, owing to its low specific weight and high mechanical rigidity and stiffness.

Regional Analysis

“Asia-Pacific will continue as the largest market for structural core materials, with Europe as the second-largest during the forecast period.”

The growth engine of Asia-Pacific is mainly attributable to the large wind turbine installation coupled with the regional expansion of major core material suppliers in the region; the growing penetration of composites in the transportation industry; the opening of assembly plants of Boeing and Airbus for the B737, A320, and A330 aircraft programs; indigenous aircraft programs such as the C919; and the expanding construction industry.

Europe is expected to be the fastest-growing market for core material kitting during the forecast period, owing to an expected increase in offshore wind turbine installations in Europe and a healthy recovery in the aerospace & defense industry.
