Unidirectional Tapes Market Research & Technological Innovation by Leading Key Players Up To 2024

by Pooja Karn Research Analytics
Unidirectional tapes are used for selective reinforcement to improve tensile strength and stiffness in one direction. These tapes are composite material which is based on unidirectional carbon fibers. These tapes can be manufactured using different thermoplastics. The global unidirectional tapes market is anticipated to witness a significant growth during the forecast period. The growth is generally driven by the increasing use of these tapes in the various end-user industries such as aerospace and defense, automotive, and others, as these tapes provides exceptional chemical resistance.


Based on resin, the unidirectional tapes market is categorized into thermoplastic and thermoset. Thermoplastic tapes segment is the larger segment and projected to register the faster growth. This is attributed to its use in various industries due to their superior properties. For instance, due to their high toughness, moisture absorption resistance, high strength and other properties, these tapes are preferred in aerospace and defense industry.

Sports and leisure category is also expected to register a good growth in the coming years, owing to the increasing demand of high strength equipment to maximize the performance of sportsman. The superior properties of these tapes such as high impact strength, good chemical resistance, and others are also making it a preferred choice in the market, driving the unidirectional tapes market growth.

The general process of manufacturing unidirectional tapes is to draw collimated raw strands into prepreg machine. In the prepreg machine, the strands coupled with molten resins are combined using heat and pressure. The mixture of these resins and fibers commonly travels between coated carrier papers or films through the machine for easy discharge.


During the forecast period, North America is anticipated to account for the largest share in the market. The unidirectional tape market of the region is derived by the high economic growth and significantly increasing investment in the aerospace and defense industry. Along with that, the increasing demand for lightweight, technologically advanced and fuel efficient aircrafts is projected to drive the market growth.

Performance Composites Inc., Composites Evolution Ltd., SGL Group, Evonik Industries, Hexcel Corporation, SGL Group, Celanese Corporation, SABIC, PRF Composite Materials, and BASF SE are some of the major players operating in unidirectional tapes industry.
