Automated Fiber Placements and Automated Tape Laying (AFP- ATL) Machines Market

The global automated fibre placements and automated tape laying (AFP- ATL) machines market was valued at US$ 244.7 million in 2020, and is predicted to reach US$ 439.6 million by 2028, with a CAGR of 8.0 percent during the forecast period (2021-2028)



One of the most advanced ways for producing composite structures is Automated Fiber Placement (AFP). Continuous fibre reinforced tape is the only tape that may be utilised in this way. A robot places material and builds a structure one ply (layer) at a time in an automated fibre placement machine. AFP machines reduce part production time without sacrificing individual machine performance. This eliminates the requirement to design higher-performing individual machines and components in order to create higher-production-rate cells. The automated tape laying (ATL) devices eliminate layup errors and material waste for components used in the aerospace sectors, where a high level of quality is essential. For example, the MTorres group produces TORRESFIBERLAYUP, an automated fibre placement (AFP) system developed to maximise productivity while fabricating high-contrast carbon fibre aeroplane components.


AFP (automated fibre placement) technique is mostly utilised in the aerospace industry. Automotive, wind energy, and marine, on the other hand, are anticipated to become new emphasis areas for market participants in the near future, as these industries attempt to build manufacturing methods that effectively address their complex prepreg part production work areas. Manufacturers are also emphasising Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) devices for producing high-volume, high-performance components in the wind energy and automobile industries. Wind turbine blades are manufactured using Automated Tape Layup (ATL) or Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) equipment to cut labour costs and enhance quality.Coriolis Composites, for example, a leader in the delivery of automated fibre placement equipment, has deployed its solutions for a variety of industries, including aeronautics and automotive. Thermoplastic fibre placement machine is available from Coriolis Composites for the production of vehicle structural composite parts.


Impact of Coronavirus on the Global Automated Fiber Placements and Automated Tape Laying (AFP- ATL) Machines Market (Covid-19) Pandemic


Commercial aviation industries are experiencing production disruptions and decreased demand due to a scarcity of available labour and travel restrictions. Because there is currently less maintenance required, demand for aeroplane replacement parts is also down. Because automated fibre placement (AFP) technology is mostly employed in the aerospace industry, it is expected to have a negative impact on the growth of the global automated fibre placements and automated tape laying (AFP- ATL) equipment market. Aircraft manufacturers are capital intensive by nature, which raises cash flow and liquidity difficulties in the short term.


Furthermore, aircraft manufacturers are reducing manufacturing capacities due to decreased demand for aircrafts and its components.As a result, demand for automated fibre placement and automated tape laying (AFP-ATL) technologies in the aerospace industry is declining.

One of the primary factors driving the Worldwide Frosting and Icing Market is the rising demand for cakes and pastries.

Image
  Market Dynamics The increased demand for cakes and pastries is one of the key reasons driving the global frosting and icing market . According to Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, the value of cakes sold in the United Kingdom increased by an average of 2% every year from 2012 to 2017, outpacing the CAGR by 1.5 percent (2007-2012). Furthermore, an increase in the number of bakeries as a result of increased urbanisation and rising income, which leads to a burgeoning food sector, is fueling the expansion of the frosting and icing market. In 2015, India's food processing business was valued at US$ 258 billion, according to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), ranking fifth in terms of consumption, output, and exports. Health issues, such as increased obesity, are, however, restraining market growth. In 2017, 36.5 percent of adults in the United States were obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which impeded market expansion. To tackle this, a ...

Orthopedic Power Tools Market predicted to be growing at a CAGR of 3.50 percent over the forecast period (2020-2027)

Image
Various orthopaedic illnesses in the musculoskeletal systems, such as musculoskeletal trauma, spine diseases, musculoskeletal injuries, and infections, are treated by orthopaedics. Orthopedic power tools are lightweight, user-friendly, and easy to handle when performing orthopaedic surgery when compared to traditional heavy orthopaedic tools. Electric powered orthopaedic tools, battery operated power systems, and pneumatic power tools are the three types of orthopaedic power tools. In 2020, the global orthopaedic power tools market is predicted to be worth US$ 943.8 million, growing at a CAGR of 3.50 percent over the forecast period (2020-2027). One of the reasons predicted to drive market expansion during the forecast period is the rising frequency of spinal injuries. According to a report issued by the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center in 2018, the incidence of spinal cord injury in the United States is roughly 54 instances per one million individuals, with around 17,70...

The Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections (ABSSSI) Market will continue to increase as the number of ambulatory individuals seeking treatment for skin and skin structure infections rises

Image
Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections (ABSSSI) are infections of the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissues that affect the skin and soft tissues. ABSSSI is defined by the US FDA as lesions having cellulitis/erysipelas, wound infections, and large cutaneous abscesses with a surface area of at least 75 cm2. ABSSSI is caused by pathogens such as Methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA), Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Beta-hemolytic Streptococcus, E. coli, Enterococcus faecalis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The rising incidence of drug-resistant strains, particularly in Staphylococcus spp. and Enterococcus spp., makes this infection challenging to treat. The ABSSSI market is predicted to grow at a steady pace, thanks to an increasing number of patients suffering from these conditions and a significant number of pipeline treatments expected to be authorised during the forecast period. Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections (ABSSSI...
