Phenolic resin segment is expected to grow with second-highest CAGR in terms of value in tow prepreg market during the forecasted period.
The phenolic resin type is the second-fastest-growing segment in the tow prepreg market due to its superior tensile strength, high temperature stability, resistance to chemicals, and electrical insulation properties which makes them suitable for the production of tow prepregs. Tow prepregs made of phenolic resin possess enhanced material properties, improved process efficiency, consistent quality and performance, and versatility. Due to the increasing environmental awareness on carbon emission and depletion of petroleum resources, phenolic-based tow prepregs are used in wide range of applications in automotive & transportation, oil & gas, aerospace & defense, and sports equipment industries. Apart from this advantages, phenolic resin also have certain limitations, they are brittle which limits their use in high impact applications.
Glass fiber segment is expected to grow with the second-highest CAGR in terms of value in tow prepreg market during the forecasted period.
Glass fiber is the second-fastest-growing fiber type in the tow prepreg market, due to its high impact strength & stiffness, light weight nature, excellent durability and rigidity, weather resistance and electrical insulation properties. It acts as a reinforcement for the development of tow prepregs. Almost all the major manufacturers uses either glass fiber or carbon fiber, as a reinforcement to produce tow prepregs. This advanced mechanical properties of tow prepregs make them a promising candidate for variety of applications in automotive & transportation, oil & gas, aerospace & defense, and sports equipment industries.
Scuba tanks segment is expected to grow with the second-highest CAGR in terms of value in tow prepreg market by application segment during the forecasted period.
Scuba tanks is the second fastest-growing application in the market of tow prepreg. Scuba tanks are cylindrical containers used to store and supply compressed air for scuba divers. The demand for tow prepregs is rising for scuba tanks due to their high strength, durability, pressure resistance, corrosion resistance, and improved safety. Scuba tanks made of tow prepregs are light weight and more durable as compared to steel or aluminium scuba tanks, which makes it easier for divers to carry and handle them for longer time, particularly during long dives.
The demand for tow prepreg in automotive & transportation industry is expected to grow with the second-highest CAGR in terms of value in tow prepreg market during the forecasted period.
The automotive & transportation is the second fastest growing end-use industry in the tow prepreg market, due to growing demand for light weight and fuel efficient vehicles. The usage of tow prepregs is increasing in automotive parts such as body panels, chassis, and structural components, interior parts like dashboards, trim panels, and seat structures, due to its high strength to weight ratio, high impact resistance, durability, and flexibility. Rising demand for electric vehicles, which prioritize energy efficiency and range, has increased the demand for tow prepreg for lightweight battery enclosures, which is fuelling the growth of automotive & transportation industry.
