The global UD tapes market size is projected to grow from USD 151 million in 2020 to USD 256 million by 2025, at a CAGR of 11.1%. The global UD tapes market is growing due to the rise in the demand for high-performance materials.
The aerospace industry accounted for the largest share, in terms of value, of the UD tapes market in 2019. This is due to the high demand for carbon fiber composites in commercial passenger aircraft. UD tapes are used in aircraft seat frames as it reduces the weight of the aircraft seats by 30% in comparison to traditional aluminum frame seats. It is also used in lightweight sandwich panels for ultralight aircraft. However, the growth of the aerospace industry for the next two years remains uncertain due to the COVID-19 pandemic and backlog in orders of aircraft deliveries by Boeing, Airbus, and other regional jet makers.
