自動車産業は、可処分所得の増加、技術の進歩、新製品の革新の増加、アフターマーケットとOEM全体の増加などの要因により、驚異的な拡大を経験してきました。 金属合金、複合材、ポリマーなどの軽量材料は、さまざまな自動車部品の製造に一般的に使用されています。 たとえば、2021年にインド国立振興機関が発表した調査によると、インドの乗用車部門は2022年に22〜25%成長すると予測されていました。 拡大する自動車産業は、軽量材料の需要の増加につながる可能性があります。 さらに、米国、中国、インドなどの先進国と新興国の両方が、戦闘機の近代化に取り組んでいます。 さまざまな航空機部品は、アルミニウム合金やハイブリッド材料などの軽量材料で作られています。 予想される期間に、これは軽量材料の市場を後押しする可能性があります。
軽量素材の使用は、自動車、航空機製造、風力タービン、海洋など、多くのエンドユーザー部門で制約されています。これは、原材料費の急激な変動や炭素繊維の高コストなどの要因によるものです。たとえば、自動車用炭素繊維強化プラスチック (CFRP) 1kg のコストは、標準鋼と比較して 3900%、ガラス繊維強化プラスチック (GRP) と比較して 400% 増加すると推定されています。これらの要因により、軽量素材市場の拡大が制限される可能性があります。
新型コロナウィルス感染症(COVID-19)は、180か国以上に広がり、世界中の経済に大きな損失をもたらし、ほぼすべての産業に影響を与えた、比類のない世界的なパンデミックです。ほとんどの企業は製造活動を停止し、最低限にまで縮小しました。同様に、COVID-19パンデミックは軽量素材市場に悪影響を及ぼしました。自動車業界では、2020年3月の売上高が2019年3月と比較して30%減少しました。健康危機により需給ギャップが拡大し、世界的な軽量素材サプライチェーンに支障をきたしています。
さらに、顧客の収入減少と国際的な渡航制限により、航空宇宙部門における軽量素材の需要が縮小しました。さらに、COVID-19によりさまざまな航空機製造プロジェクトが一時停止となり、航空宇宙・航空部門における軽量素材の需要が減少しました。
