Increasing Air Travel Benefits Lightweight Materials Market due to Demand in Aircraft Manufacture

Transparency Market Research (TMR) has released a market study detailing the global lightweight materials market from 2014 to 2020. The report is titled “Lightweight Materials Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2014 - 2020” and states that the market for lightweight materials will reach a valuation of US$186.3 bn by 2020, increasing from US$126.3 bn in 2013 at a modest CAGR of 5.80% from 2014 to 2020. By volume, the said market amounted to 54,340.3 mn kg in 2013.

The report states that the market for lightweight materials receives major demand from the transportation sector. The use of lightweight materials such as aluminum, titanium, and composites in aircraft helps in revenue generation, due to the increased payload capacity and enhanced energy efficiency of the aircraft.Increasing environmental concerns across the globe associated with carbon emissions from vehicles are driving the demand for lightweight materials in the automobile and aviation sectors. However, the high cost of lightweight materials over conventional materials such as steel will be a deterrent to the growth of the global lightweight materials market during the forecast period.

The global market for lightweight materials is divided on the basis of product, application, and region. Aluminum, high strength steel, polymer and composites, titanium, magnesium, and others are the key product segments of the market. Out of these, aluminum is one of the major lightweight materials and held 30.4% of the global market for lightweight materials in 2013. This product segment is expected to witness substantial growth during the forecast period.
The composites product segment, which comprises glass fiber reinforced plastics, metal matrix composites, ceramic composites, carbon fiber reinforced plastics, and other hybrid materials, will exhibit an increase in its market share over the forecast period, due to their functional benefits in comparison with other lightweight materials. However, the high cost of composites will hamper the share of the segment to some extent. Titanium, another important lightweight material, will witness significant demand during the forecast period, predominantly from the aviation industry.

Superabrasives (Turning, Cutting, Buffing, Drilling, Boring, Grinding) Market Research Report 2025

An abrasive is a material which molds or provides finishing to a work piece through a process which includes buffing, grinding, cutting, as well as polishing. Abrasion typically depends on the difference in the hardness of the material and the abrasive (with the latter being the harder of the two). Unlike regular abrasion where any two solid materials that repeatedly rub against each other tend to wear away, superabrasives possess the kind of hardness that enables them to stay usable for a longer period of time. On the basis of hardness, the top two superabrasives include diamond and cubic boron nitride (CBN). Industrial diamonds used as superabrasives are exceptionally hard materials. However, they display several technological limitations. For instance, when a diamond comes in contact with a ferrous alloy such as steel or a nickel superalloy, the resulting formation of carbide leads to its abrasion. Also, a diamond-containing tool can only be used at moderate temperatures a

Rapid Prototyping Market - Rapidly Gaining Importance in Aerospace Sector, Research By 2024

Rapid prototyping is a technique in which the physical modeling of a design is done with the help of specialized machining technology. It was developed initially in the mid-1980s, the principle used in this technology is of solid modeling with the help of computer programs (i.e. CAD). Solid modeling makes use of computer aided-design (CAD) data to completely describe not just the external shape of parts or equipment, but its interior volume as well as the outside surfaces. The computer model is sliced into thin layers and the part of the product or commodity to be modelled or developed as per the requirement, is eventually fabricated by adding layers onto each other. Obtain Report Details @   http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/rapid-prototyping-market.html The primary benefit of the system is that almost any shape can be manufactured using computerized programs. Time and money savings vary from 50% to 90% compared to conventional systems. Types of rapid prototypi

Welding Products Market Growth in Wind Power Sector to Create Opportunities, TMR

The global welding products market is moderately fragmented with the key players such as Lincoln Electric, ESAB, and ITW leading in the market. These three players accounted for a collective share of 30% in 2013, states a new report by Transparency Market Research (TMR). This market is capital intensive and thus, local vendors find it difficult to compete with the larger players. Local players are unable to compete with large players on the basis of quality, services, functionalities, and features. Thus, these small players are entering into the market by introducing products that are low in price. Some of the players operating in the welding products market are: Voestalpine AG, Sonics & Materials Inc., Fronius International GmbH, Rofin-Sinar Technologies Inc., Arcon Welding, Bohler, Panasonic, Daihen Corp, and OBARA Co. In order to increase their production capacities and focus on innovations, companies are adopting the strategy of merging or acquiring other players. Acco
