The 2013 JEC Show in Paris confirmed the composite industry has the right benefits in hands to overcome the global economy weakening. The latest exhibited and sometimes rewarded innovations keep on reducing even further part weights. Manufacturing processes are also simplified and shortened to cut production costs. Thermoplastic-based composites also gain market share within the composite industry claiming a strong advantage over thermoset resins: recyclability. Thermoset-based composites go even farther in addressing increasing performance requirements. A new statistic confirming this point is the expected higher growth of carbon fiber use in composites than the forecasted growth of glass fiber use in composites; however glass fibers remain by far the mostly used reinforcing fibers in composites. Overall the composite industry is predicted to grow at an average annual growth rate of 5.4% until 20171. Unsurprisingly the composite industry growth will not be the same in all countries. As an example the 2013 JEC Show Country of Honor, Turkey, will most probably see a double-digit growth in the coming years. In particular its role in the production of carbon fibers will significantly be more important as the carbon fiber JV between the US-based Dow Chemical and the Turkish acrylic fiber producer Aksa Akrilik Kimya deals with a US$1 billion investment for each company over the five coming years5.
