Metal Matrix Composites Market Size Worth $558.5 Million By 2027

Metal Matrix Composites Market Growth & Trends

The global metal matrix composite market size is expected to reach USD 558.5 million by 2027 registering a CAGR of 6.4%, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Rising concerns regarding environmental degradation and increasing levels of carbon emissions and pollution have created the need for the replacement of conventional dense materials with high-performance and lightweight materials in the automotive, aerospace, and other applications.

Thus, growing focus on performance enhancement, in terms of fuel efficiency and safety, is expected to be the major factor augmenting the product demand over the forecast period. These composites offer excellent strength and stiffness, higher operating temperatures, and enhanced wear resistance, owing to which, they are widely used across various end-use industries.

In addition, increased spending on R&D and extensive support offered by various governments, in terms of monitory funds and joint ventures (public-private partnerships), are anticipated to assist the manufacturers in developing newer technology and superior products. This is estimated to have a positive impact on the metal matrix composite (MMC) market growth. However, the high manufacturing costs, low yield, and complex fabrication methods are expected to pose a challenge for market growth over the coming years.
