Epoxy Composites market is projected to register high demand during the forecast period with increasing demand from major end-use industries such as electrical & electronics, pipe &tank, wind energy, automotive & transportation during the forecast period. Epoxy composites are composite materials in which the matrix is made of epoxy resin irrespective of the fiber used. Epoxy resins have a good record in a wide range of composite parts, structures, etc. A major advantage of the epoxy resin is its low shrinkage ability. Epoxy resins can also be blended with other epoxy resins to achieve specific performance features.

The epoxy composites market is witnessing significant growth in its applications wind energy due to the replacement of traditional materials in a wind turbine with epoxy composites with superior mechanical properties. Moreover, governments in different parts of the world have imposed strict environmental laws fueling the need for sustainable energy, increasing the demand for wind turbines, and thus, escalating the demand for epoxy composites.
