Based on product, the market is divided into thermosetting {epoxy resin, phenolic resin, polyester resin}, thermoplastic {polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), polyetherimide (PEI), polyamide (PA)}. Thermosetting segment held the dominant market share of USD 3.5 billion in 2022. Thermosetting resins, such as epoxy, offer excellent mechanical properties, including high strength, stiffness, and impact resistance. These properties make them suitable for applications that require structural integrity and durability. Thermosetting resins are known for their high-temperature resistance. They maintain their structural properties at elevated temperatures, making them suitable for applications in which heat resistance is critical.

Based on fiber glass, the market is categorized into e-glass prepreg, s-glass prepreg, other. E-glass prepreg accounted for over 75% market share in 2022 and is projected to grow significantly through 2032. E-glass fibers are known for their high tensile strength and durability, making them suitable for applications requiring robust structural performance. E-glass prepreg materials are in demand in the aerospace and defense sectors, where they are used for lightweight, high-strength components, such as aircraft structures and military equipment.
 

North America dominated the global glass prepreg market in 2022. The automotive industry in North America is continually seeking ways to reduce vehicle weight to improve fuel efficiency. Within North America, the U.S. generated a revenue of over USD 1.5 billion in 2022. North America is home to a robust aerospace and defense sector. The demand for high-performance materials, such as glass prepreg, is driven by the need for lightweight and durable components in aircraft, satellites, and military equipment. In the automotive industry, there is a strong emphasis on reducing vehicle weight to improve fuel efficiency and meet emission standards.
