The market size of the hybrid fabric is expected to grow from USD 197 million in 2019 to USD 415 million by 2024, at a CAGR of 16.0% during the forecast period. The major drivers of the market are balanced cost and performance characteristics offered by hybrid fabric.
The hybrid fabric market, by end-use industry, is divided into five segments, namely, automotive & transportation, aerospace & defense, wind energy, sports & recreational, and consumer goods. The market in the wind energy end-use industry is expected to register the highest growth rate, in terms of value and volume, during the forecast period. Wind turbine blades are the key components in the wind power generation system. Hybrid fabric is widely used in the development of large-sized wind turbines. The focus of blade manufacturers has mainly been on reducing the cost and increasing performance of wind blades. This is driving the use of hybrid fabric, as it is less expensive than other special-purpose fibers without compromising on its high-performance property.

Hybrid fabric is segmented into four types based on the fiber used which includes glass/carbon, carbon/UHMWPE, glass/aramid, and carbon/aramid. Carbon/UHMWPE is projected to be the fastest-growing fiber segment in the hybrid fabric market during the forecast period. UHMWPE fiber is a thermoplastic having an extremely long chain of polyethylene and a molecular weight between 2 to 6 million grams per mole. It is synthesized by attaching the monomers of ethylene. UHMWPE has excellent properties such as impact resistance, lubricity, chemical inertness, and abrasion resistance. The carbon/UHMWPE hybrid fabric is a bit expensive.
The key hybrid fabric manufacturers include Royal DSM N.V. (Netherlands), SGL Group (Germany), Gurit (Switzerland), Hexcel Corporation (US), Exel Composites (Finland), Solvay (Belgium), Textum Inc. (US), BGF Industries, Inc. (US), HACOTECH GmbH (Germany), and Arrow Technical Textiles Pvt. Ltd. (India). These players have adopted various growth strategies, such as expansion and new product development, to expand their presence in the hybrid fabric market further. Expansion and new product development have been the most dominating strategies adopted by major players, from 2016 to 2018, which helped them innovate their offerings and broaden their customer base.
