Report summary

Exciting developments in the composites industry are spurring major new investments in textile technologies. Over the past ten years, investments have been driven by the aerospace industry with a focus on reducing the weight of aircraft.

Now, the emphasis is on reducing the weight of passenger cars and other vehicles. Parts for vehicles are being made from composites reinforced with fibres and fabrics made from various materials, including carbon, glass and polyester, as well as natural fibres. The dynamism of the industry was evident at the March 2014 edition of the JEC Europe composites show, which was held in Paris, France.
