The sports composites market size is estimated to be USD 4.1 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 5.1 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period. The demand for carbon fibers is very high in carbon frames, golf sticks, and rackets manufacturing due to excellent performance properties such as high-strength, good grip, anti-corrosion properties, and lightweight.
The Asia Pacific region dominated the sports composites markets, in terms of value and volume and is projected to grow at the highest CAGR between 2021 and 2026. China & Taiwan are the leading manufacturers of sports composites goods in the Asia Pacific and worldwide. This growth can be attributed to the availability of raw materials and labor at reduced costs, especially in Greater China i.e., China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan. In addition, Japan is a major producer of carbon fiber composites, which is also one of the factors for the growth of the market in this region.
Companies operating in the sports composites market have strengthened their position by adopting expansions and new product/technology launches from 2016-2020. Expansions, joint ventures, acquisitions, and new product launches were among the key growth strategies adopted by the market players between January 2015 and November 2020. Amer Sports (Finland), ALDILA, Inc. (US), Jarden Corporation (US), ProKennex (Taiwan), Fischer Sports GmbH (Austria), Topkey Corporation (Taiwan), Rossignol (France), and others are some of the key players in the sports composites market.
