The Unidirectional Tapes Market revenue is estimated to reach US$ 203.5 Million by 2022, according to Future Market Insights (FMI). The overall unidirectional tapes market is expected to reach US$ 559.3 Million by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 10.6% for 2022-32.
Besides this, FMI has predicted the application to soar in the manufacturing of windmills and turbines. These tapes are as effective as various alternatives available in the market. Besides which, they are light in weight and highly durable.
Unidirectional tapes increase the efficiency of wind energy generation by reducing the weight of turbines and enabling the manufacturers to produce lighter and longer turbine blades. Lighter and longer blades help in increasing the energy output calculated per revolution.
The carbon fiber type of the unidirectional tapes is most commonly used in the wind energy sector. These tapes offer higher strength and stiffness without increasing the weight of the system. Manufacturers of unidirectional tapes are expanding their product portfolio by focusing on launches. For instance, ZOLTEK Corporation of Toray Group offers unidirectional tapes that are designed specifically for wind energy applications.

“The consistent growth of the automotive industry in the last decade has fuelled the sales of unidirectional tapes during the last few years. In addition to this, the rapidly expanding aerospace defence industries across the globe are expected to fuel the demand for unidirectional tapes through the forecast period 2022-32,” says FMI analyst.
Rapidly Growing Aerospace Defense Industry to Drive the Demand for Unidirectional Tapes
The aerospace and defense industries are consistently growing across the globe. The increasing per capita income and rapidly growing urban population are bolstering the aerospace industry. The rise in the number of aircraft, both private and commercial witnessed in the past 5 years meant higher scope for sales of unidirectional tapes. This rise is mainly because of the change in consumer preference towards air travel despite the higher fare since consumers prefer it to save time.
Furthermore, the defense sector across many countries is growing with the governments increasing their defense budgets. The introduction of new and technologically advanced ammunition and high-tech vehicles and aircraft is boosting the defense industry across the globe.
The unidirectional tapes have many applications in the aerospace defense industries. These tapes are gaining popularity in these industries for their strength, stiffness and several other properties. The growth of aerospace defense industries is therefore anticipated to propel the demand for unidirectional tapes during the foreseeable future.
