Market Leaders - Composite Repairs Market
The composite repairs market is projected to reach USD 21.97 Billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 8.0% between 2016 and 2026. Composite repairs are carried out on damaged composite parts of aircraft, wind blades, automotive composite panels, old bridges, boats, and leakages in pipes & tanks. Cost savings associated with composite structure repairs as compared to parts replacement is the major factor driving the composite repairs market. Composite repairs can save up to 60% of the cost as compared to composite parts replacement depending on the end-user industry and severity of the damage
Contracts & agreements were the most preferred strategy among the composite repair service providers to expand their geographic reach and to cater to end users across regions between 2012 and 2016.
