European Market Opportunities for U.S. Innovation:

The European composites market is important for U.S. manufacturers looking to expand globally. In 2021, it represented 25% of the global composites market volume, reaching 3 million tons, an 18.3% increase compared with 2020, and 21% of the global composites market value ($7.7 billion). The European composites market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4% during the forecast period 2021 to 2026. The European composites market is fragmented and characterized by many small-sized firms, where 80-90% of the volume is produced by just 10-20% of existing companies. Each country has industries with various strengths in different applications.

Market growth tends to follow economic development and GDP trends of each country respectively.

• The Main European Composites Markets: Germany, Italy, U.K., Spain and Portugal and France.
• The Main End-Use Industries in Europe: Transportation, Construction, Electronics and Sport and Leisure.
