focus
The Chinese composites market just keeps on growing!
As with a number of business sectors, China has high objectives in the composite industry and no intention of playing a minor part. The crisis has shown that its domestic market is now capable of sustaining growth, which offers the sector’s companies additional flexibility.
Mechanization level keeps improving
Technological progress 28
What is noteworthy, other than the strong market growth, is the technological progress that goes hand in hand with such growth. The figures for production distribution by process type show that the use of hand layup declined from 72% to 34% during the 2000-2009 period. This sharp drop in the prevalence of this process – 30 points within a decade – is a sign that Chinese players are determined to move on to more high-value-added production. At the same JEC meeting, Mrs. Lu pointed out the seven emerging strategic industries that they will focus on: new energy, energy conservation and environmental protection, battery electric vehicles (BEVs), new materials, new medicine, biotechnological breeding and information technology. She also explained the main lines of China’s twelfth five-year plan for new materials development.
Legitimate hopes
The main goals are to 1) continue to develop technologically, 2) make China a recognized leader in the composite sector, and 3) succeed in mechanizing 75% of the country’s moulding processes. Other goals are to maintain a 9% annual growth rate over the five-year period and achieve an FRP output of six million metric tons (FRSP: 3.7M MT and FRTP: 2.3M MT). Most if not all application
Breakdown by process
The Chinese composite market continues to grow. Output for glass fibre rose by 23.8% over the first half of 2010 to reach 1.49 million metric tons (MT). During that same period, sales rose by 33.1% and exports, by 26.4%. Mrs. Lu Qin, Secretary General of the China Composites Industry Association, confirmed this trend in the speech she gave at the latest JEC Composite Asia in October 2010.

sectors are affected by the fiveyear plan, including construction, transportation, the marine industry, wind power, environmental engineering, and aerospace. A special emphasis is on basic advanced-material research and application R&D in the fields of new energy, offshore oil, power construction, environmental protection and carbon-fibre composites.
