Product Definition:
UD tapes are employed for the purpose of reinforcing composites in a unidirectional manner. By impregnating fibers with the resin and laying them down in a specific orientation, UD tapes create a composite material that is significantly stronger than one made with randomly oriented fibers.
By Fiber Type:
By fiber type, the industry can be segmented into single-mode (SM), multi-mode (MM) and para-aramid (PA) fibers. The UD tapes are manufactured using MM and PA fibers; hence these two fiber types together form a large share in the overall market.
UD tapes are used for insulation purposes in various end use industries such as aerospace & defense, oil & gas, transportation and others.
Glass Fiber:
Glass fiber is also known as fiberglass and is a type of lightweight, rigid, and strong fibers that are made from silica. Fiberglass is extensively used in the packaging industry owing to its properties such as high tensile strength, excellent durability & flexibility along with low weight which makes it ideal for packaging applications. It can be used in various forms including sheets & fabrics and can be utilized to produce tapes by converting into yarns or composites.
Application Insights:
The aerospace and defense application segment led the global unidirectional tapes market in 2017. The segment is projected to expand at a CAGR of XX% over the forecast period owing to increasing use of these products in aircraft manufacturing as well as military aircraft maintenance activities. Furthermore, growing use of these products for manufacturing airframes, wings, fuselage and other parts is expected to propel demand over the coming years.
UD tapes are used for thermal insulation on account of its superior properties including low dielectric constant and high strength-to-weight ratio which makes it suitable for applications where high insulation strength is required but weight must be kept to a minimum such as automotive body panels or load floors in trucks among others.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017. The region is expected to witness moderate growth over the forecast period owing to a shift in focus towards developing electric and hybrid vehicles. As per International Energy Agency, worldwide demand for motor vehicle fuel was 54,500 kilotons in 2016 and the U.S accounted for around 20% of that demand which indicates high potential for growth over the coming years.
The European market is also anticipated to witness significant growth during the same period due to increasing defense budget by various countries such as Russia, UK, France among others will have positive impact on industry expansion over next eight years from 2018 to 2030 time frame).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from the automotive and electronics industries for UD tapes as a result of their superior properties such as high tensile strength, low weight, and resistance to corrosion.
- Growing popularity of UD tapes in the construction industry for applications such as roofing, insulation, and cladding due to their thermal insulation properties.
- Rising demand from the medical sector for UD tapes used in wound care products and surgical implants due to their biocompatibility and antibacterial properties.
- Increasing use of UD tapes in wind energy applications due to their superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to other materials used in wind turbine blades manufacturing process .
