How has the unmanned composites market evolved, and what factors have shaped its growth?
The increasing demand for unmanned aerial vehicles is expected to propel the growth of the unmanned composites market going forward. An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a drone, is an aircraft that works without a human operator or pilot. A UAV can fly autonomously or be remotely controlled. Drones can gain more excellent performance, larger payload capacities, longer flight endurance, superior aerodynamics, and enhanced durability by harnessing the benefits of unmanned composites. For instance, in June 2022, according to the Federal Aviation Administration, a US-based government agency, there will be 828,000 commercial drones (drones used in association with businesses) and 1.48 million recreational drones (drones used for personal fun) by 2024. Therefore, the increasing demand for unmanned aerial vehicles is driving the growth of the unmanned composites market.

How will evolving trends contribute to the growth of the unmanned composites market?
Product innovations are a key trend gaining popularity in the unmanned composites market. Major companies operating in the unmanned composites market are focused on innovating new products to sustain their position in the market. For instance, in September 2022, Xenia Srl, an Italy-based plastic fabrication company, launched XECARB ST, a new family of super tough carbon fiber-reinforced composites. It identified a need for higher impact resistance by combining advanced lightweight with superior impact strength. Xenia’s XECARB range’s mechanical qualities are built upon in XECARB ST, which features significantly enhanced notched impact resistance, low-temperature flexibility, and tensile elongation at break. XECARB ST is believed to give more lightweight options due to its slightly reduced density.
