Also, urbanization in the Asia Pacific and parts of Latin America happens at a rapid pace, requiring both new infrastructure and repairs to existing frameworks. Smart cities which are on the rise also use composites in repair and renovation works, further driving the adoption of advanced materials to increase sustainability.

The United States government established the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) in 2022, which builds on the previously existing Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, allocating USD 1.2 trillion to updating and improving infrastructure like electric vehicle charging stations, ports, and parks.

Starting in 2022, the United States focused on repairing and upgrading roads, bridges, rails, and airports, as well as installing high-speed internet and climate initiatives over the next five years. So far, over USD 69.7 billion has been spent on these upgrades and repairs. For the year 2023, the United States has spent USD 44.8 billion for infrastructure development. In 2021, the local and state governments’ expenditure on transportation and infrastructure reached USD 218.5 billion, comprising 56% of the overall spending by the government.

Construction Repair Composites Market Trends

• To minimize the structural weight and increase longevity the fibre-reinforced polymer or FRP composite in structural applications is trending in the construction composites market. The FRP composites are made with fibres from materials like glass, carbon and aramid which offers better strength, stiffness and corrosion resistance compared to concrete or steel. These materials are useful in reducing weight of the structures, extend its service life and lower the maintenance costs. They are used in infrastructure, bridges, buildings, and other marine structures. This is driving the demand for advanced composite solutions in the market.
  
• The trend of sustainability is shaping the repair composites market, the manufacturers are focusing on environmentally friendly materials for composites like natural fibers, recycled plastics and bio resins. The composites made from these materials match the performance of the traditional options and reduces the carbon footprints. As these composites save energy, and minimizers waste it helps the construction industry in aligning with green buildings practices and sustainability goals.
  
• In 2023, Avient a specialized polymer materials manufacturer launched a sustainable composite panel which offers ballistics resistance and is made from sustainable materials like glass and thermoplastic resins. This is a low-cost alternative to traditional ballistics materials used in ballistics resistant panels. These composite panels are bullet proof and can be used in interior and exterior surfaces of the building.
  

Trump Administration Tariffs

• The tariff imposed by Trump administration on imports from China will lead to increase in cost for raw materials like fibres, resins, and other reinforcement materials. As these major components are imported from China for construction composites manufacturing. These tariffs could cause supply chain disruption and may lead to price hike due to manufacturers dependence on China for importing raw materials at competitive prices.
  
• Due to these tariffs the composite materials manufacturers are forced to change their suppliers which may cause short term delays and hike in operational costs in the manufacturing.
  
• Manufacturers are actively shifting their sources to countries less affected by the tariffs like Vietnam, India, and Mexico, to mitigate the short-term risks and delays in their operations. The tariffs will impact the global construction repair composites industry and will lead to delays in manufacturing and supply chain.
