Hybrid Composites Market size is poised to reach USD 21 Billion by the end of 2035, growing at a CAGR of 16% during the forecast period, i.e., 2023 – 2035. In the year 2022, the industry size of hybrid composites was over USD 9 Billion. Hybrid composites, which combine both glass and carbon fibers, enable manufacturers to customize mechanical qualities for any particular application without modifying the required dimensions of the tubes or poles. These properties of hybrid composites are escalating the market growth. For instance, the United Nations Environment Programme predicts that between 2017 and 2030, chemical sales will nearly quadruple.
For principal structures of commercial, industrial, aeronautical, marine, and recreational facilities a hybrid composite may be used. It's got a lot of advantages for the aeronautics industry like high fatigue and corrosion resistance, plus excellent impact protection. The U.S. commercial aviation industry contributes USD 1 trillion yearly, or 5% of the country's GDP.

Fibre (Carbon/Glass, Carbon/Aramid, Metal/Plastic, Wood/Plastic)
The carbon/glass category is poised to lead the market during the forecast period with about 49% share of the global hybrid composites market. Carbon/glass composites have better properties such as lightweight that help in reducing the weight of the wind blades and vehicles. In the production of hybrid composite laminates, carbon/glass and glass fiber-reinforced fabrics with an epoxy matrix are used. These composite materials offer a range of properties that increase demand in industry and beyond, e.g. reduced thermal expansion, strong rigidity, tolerance to temperatures up to 1 500 C, chemical resistance values higher than 700 C as well as lower weight. With significantly less expense than if they had utilized carbon fiber, users can achieve up to 85 to 90% of the benefits of carbon.
End-Use (Automotive & Transportation, Construction, Wind Energy, Marine, Aerospace & Defence, Sporting Goods)
The automotive & transportation industry is expected to garner the largest market share. In the automotive sector, the usage of hybrid composites has made high-performance and luxury affordable. Hybrid composites' improved cost and performance attributes are anticipated to fuel demand in the automotive and transportation end-use sectors.
