BUSINESS Market survey Asia-Pacific: focus on the automotive and aerospace industries The accelerated development of large numbers of Asia-Pacific Rim countries is upsetting the old statistics, changing the economics of entire industry segments in the process. While automotive is the largest final market in terms of value (23% in value of the final market), aerospace and windmill applications are a showcase for the composite industry, thanks to the technical performance of composite materials. Automotive: a booming sector In the automotive sector, composites offer a number of advantages over competing materials (especially steel and aluminium). They are mostly used in two types of applications. First, small series parts (under 1,500 units a day) requiring strong resistance are produced using SMC, a material that is more cost competitive than competing materials, due to a limited up-front investment. These applications account for 60 to 70% of composite use in the automotive industry. Composites are also used for their specific properties (mainly shock absorption and heat resistance) in either large or short series, representing 30 to 40% of automotive applications. These are mainly produced by injection moulding (BMC in the case of thermosets or injection moulding for thermoplastics). The worldwide growth of automotive production is driven by the Asian market, which has been growing at a historical 6% per year, compared to 0% in North Aerospace: bright prospects A strong growth is expected in air JEC Composites Magazine / No44 October 2008 Co2 emmissions per car by region (g/km)(1) ith this as a given, JEC Group has put out a study called “Main Dynamics of the Composite Industry in Asia-Pacific”. Here are a few excerpts. W America and Western Europe. This trend is expected to continue. In Europe, car CO2 emissions were around 163 g/km in 2005, but the regulations have imposed a 140 g/km limit for 2008 and a 120 g/km limit for 2012. In their attempts to reduce CO2 emissions, car manufacturers tend to focus on engine improvements rather than on weight reduction. As a consequence, the regulation on car CO2 emissions should not help improve the penetration of composites in automotive applications in Europe in the medium term. There are no such regulations in North America, which does not affect the market penetration of composites. In Asia, in addition to the underlying market growth, the growth of composites penetration versus traditional materials depends on two factors: the pace of implementation of environmental regulations limiting CO2 emissions and the consumer demand for fuel-efficient cars (assuming that oil prices remain high). A Chinese car currently contains about 20% less composites than a car in developed countries (30 kg composite versus 36 kg in Europe), which leaves room for further penetration. In 2005, car CO2 emissions averaged 180 g/km in China, compared to a targeted 120 g/km in 2012 for Europe and 130 g/km in 2010 for Japan (see Table 1). As China hopes to export part of its automotive production, it will need to reduce the weight of its cars. Extending the use of composites will be part of the solution. Table 1: Composites penetration in China could be driven by the search for lighter vehicles, both for the domestic automotive market and exports to the EU or the US (2005 - Automotive CO2 releases). (1) Figures standardized by New European Drive Cycle test method Source: ACEA, JAMA, Ford, GM, Feng An passenger traffic (5% p.a.), especially in Asia and North America (8% p.a.), thus driving aircraft sales. While commercial aircraft account for one third of composite use in the aerospace industry, this positive trend will be intensified by a growing penetration of these materials. For instance, composites will represent almost 50% of the new Boeing 787’s total weight, compared to under 10% for the 777 launched in the 90’s. Overall, while the same trend is being observed for most other aerospace applications (spacecraft, business and regional jets), composites are expected to gain a 5% market share on average, mostly at the expense of aluminium. Composite use in the aerospace industry relies on high-tech materials, mostly epoxy resins reinforced with carbon or aramid fibres. These materials exhibit very high strength at a very low weight. Considering that weight-saving is a priority for aircraft manufacturers and air carriers, aluminium is expected to lose
