Report Scope

The scope of this report is extensive, as it covers a variety of composites that are used globally. The market for composites is analyzed by dividing it based on five major types and subtypes. BCC Research analyzed essential categories and regions to determine the present and future composites market status. The report also discusses market strategies, ESG development, emerging trends, regulatory landscape, key players, and market driving forces. The base year for the market study is 2023, and the estimates and forecasts are for 2024 through 2029. Market estimates are in U.S. dollars (millions). The report concentrates on composite products and technologies currently in commercial use; while promising, other products that are not likely to make out of the laboratory are not covered in scope. Moreover, the market size includes the revenue that composite-producing companies generate by incorporating industrial-scale technologies.
