Composite Rollers Market Size Report | Share and Forecast to 2030

[Research Report] The composite rollers market size is expected to grow from US$ 177.42 million in 2022 to US$ 263.18 million by 2030; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 5.1% from 2022 to 2030.

Market Insights and Analyst View:

The global composite rollers market is experiencing a significant surge in demand due to the increasing need for lightweight and durable materials across various industries. Composite rollers are made from advanced materials such as carbon fiber, fiberglass, and Kevlar fiber, which offer high strength-to-weight ratios and resistance to corrosion and abrasion properties. They are widely used in conveyor systems, printing machines, laminating machines, and other industrial applications to ensure efficient material handling and transportation systems. The growing focus on sustainability and energy efficiency is expected to further drive the demand for composite rollers worldwide.

Growth Drivers and Challenges:

Composite rollers are utilized in several industries, such as printing, textile, mining, and paper & pulp. These types of rollers are created by using raw materials, including carbon and glass fibers, resins, and coatings, using different technologies. The constant evolution, mainly in the case of industrial machinery, is correlated to easy handling, lower consumption of energy, and lightweight. Such a scenario further opens new prospects for the utilization of composite materials throughout many industrial sectors. Composite rollers find applications in specific areas in mines, such as small and large machinery; hence, the rising mining and exploration activities are expected to boost the demand for these rollers, thereby boosting the composite rollers market growth. The expanding use of composite rollers in the pulp & paper industry is stimulating the global composite rollers market growth. The composite rollers are highly used in the pulp & paper industry as they provide excellent strength, decrease vibration and noise, low inertia, and low electricity consumption. In the paper & pulp industry, composite rollers are used for applications such as paper guide rollers, guide rollers for screens or felts, rollers for the dryer section, shaken breast rollers, and calendar guide rollers. However, the factor hampering the global composite rollers market growth is the growing environmental concern about the recycling of carbon and glass fiber composites. The growing use of carbon and glass fiber composite products has increased awareness about their waste disposal. The widespread usage of composite materials caused a massive rise in trash generation. The growing concern about recycling these composite wastes cost-effectively without causing a negative environmental impact is increasing.

Report Segmentation and Scope:

The “Global Composite Rollers Market” is segmented on the basis of fiber type, resin type, end use, and geography. Based on fiber type, the composite rollers market is segmented into carbon, glass, and others. The carbon segment is further broken down into PAN based and pitch based. The composite rollers market is segmented based on resin type into thermoset and thermoplastic. The thermoset segment is further broken down into epoxy, polyurethane, and others. The thermoplastic segment is further broken down into polyethylene, polypropylene, poly vinyl chloride, and others. The composite rollers market is segmented based on end use into mining, paper and pulp, textile, film and foil, printing, and others. The composite rollers market based on geography is segmented into North America (the US, Canada, and Mexico), Europe (Germany, France, Italy, the UK, Russia, and the Rest of Europe), Asia Pacific (Australia, China, Japan, India, South Korea, and the Rest of Asia Pacific), Middle East & Africa (South Africa, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the Rest of Middle East & Africa), and South & Central America (Brazil, Argentina, and the Rest of South & Central America).

Segmental Analysis:

Based on fiber type, the composite rollers market is segmented into carbon, glass, and others. The carbon segment held a significant share in the composite rollers market and is expected to register considerable growth during the forecast period. Carbon fiber is a long, thin strand of material composed of carbon atoms. These fibers offer high tensile strength coupled with high-temperature tolerance and durability. Carbon fibers possess higher stiffness and strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and longer lifespans than other materials, such as aluminum and steel. Hence, these fibers find broader applications in various end-use industries. These fibers are rigid and chemically inert, which makes them challenging to compress as well as to stretch. They are used in several end-use industries such as mining, textile, pulp & paper, aerospace & defense, automotive, and construction.

Regional Analysis:

Based on geography, the composite rollers market is divided into five key regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South & Central America, and Middle East & Africa. The global composite rollers market was dominated by Asia Pacific, which accounted for over US$ 80 million in 2022. North America is a second major contributor, expected to account for more than 20% of the global composite rollers market share in 2028. Europe is expected to register significant growth rate of over 4% from 2022 to 2030 . The Europe composite rollers market is segmented into Germany, France, Italy, the UK, Russia, and the Rest of Europe. Countries such as the UK, Germany, and Russia have been witnessing significant growth in the implementation of technologically advanced solutions. Mining, textile, and pulp & paper are among the other industries flourishing in the region and subsequently bolstering the composite rollers market growth. In the case of mining activities, Russia holds a significant position in the world, and in the mining industry, these composite rollers are gaining popularity. The textile industry is also a strong contributor to the rising demand for composite rollers in Europe.
