𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟮-𝟮𝟬𝟯𝟮. 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 The global transportation composites market is expected to exceed USD 64,621.67 million by 2030 from USD 32,671.67 million in 2019, growing at a CAGR of 12.83% from 2022-2032. Transportation composites are widely used in aerospace & defense, marine, and automotive sectors due to their high scratch endurance, wear endurance, extreme modulus, excellent energy, improved stiffness, low density, excellent chemical resistance, and low creep. These properties make them suitable for automotive components, aircraft structures, and interior car plates. However, the Covid-19 pandemic has led to the closure of operations in aircraft, automobile, and yacht production, reducing the demand for transportation composites. Despite this, the market is projected to grow due to rising demand from the automotive & transportation sectors, increased use in commercial aircraft, and the accelerating demand for lightweight and fuel-efficient vehicles. The growing demand for eco-friendly EVs also presents a significant market opportunity. 𝗧𝗼 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗰𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁.

Sustainability is one of the key drivers for innovation in automotive materials and processes. - That’s what was evident at the 14th Symposium for New Vehicle and Material Concepts (14. Fachtagung für neue Fahrzeug- und Werkstoffkonzepte) in Stuttgart this week. Across all material classes – whether it’s metals, polymers or wood – material suppliers, Tier producers and OEMs are looking for ways to reduce their Product Carbon Footprint and increase Circularity. Our presentation on Design for Recycling, in which we demonstrated a mono-material car seat for Evonik, fit right in. By questioning every aspect of the application requirements, employing a comprehensive simulation driven design approach and leveraging our deep understanding of design for recycling the team supported the development of an incredibly compelling and capable mono-material solution. Thanks to Dr. Klaus Heller from our JV partner Vestaro GmbH for representing Forward Engineering on stage and throughout the event. Thanks to the team of German Aerospace Center (DLR) Institut of Vehicle Concepts for organizing this highly insightful event. #Sustainability #FutureMobility #CircularPlastic #MonomaterialSeat

🛩️Advanced ceramics play a crucial role in the aerospace industry. Today, ceramic components and coatings are increasingly integrated to drive progress in aerospace technology across commercial and military sectors. Advanced ceramics are different from traditional ceramics because they are typically made from synthetic or specially formulated materials, such as oxides, carbides, nitrides, and other compounds. Advanced ceramics can: 👉withstand very high temperatures with ease; 👉fulfil essential functions across all aspects of flight, whether within or beyond the Earth's atmosphere thanks to their multiple functionalities. ✔️That's why at #Imerys, we harness a diverse array of materials to develop cutting-edge, high performance solutions for the ceramics industry, recognizing the indispensable role ceramics play in advancing aerospace technology. 📅Our experts will showcase our ceramics solutions at ceramitec in Munich, the world's leading trade fair for the ceramics industry from April 8 to 12, 2024!
