The market is segmented on the basis of type, resin, manufacturing process, and end-user.
• By Type
On the basis of type, the North America Advanced Composites Market is segmented into Carbon Fiber Composites, S-Glass Composites, Aramid Fiber Composites, and Others. The carbon fiber composites segment dominated the market with the largest revenue share of 66.73% in 2025, driven by its superior strength-to-weight ratio, exceptional stiffness, and extensive adoption in aerospace, automotive, and high-performance sporting applications. Its widespread use in aircraft structural components, automotive body panels, and wind turbine blades fuels steady demand, and ongoing innovations in carbon fiber production techniques have further enhanced affordability and performance. Manufacturers and end-users prefer carbon fiber composites for their durability, fatigue resistance, and ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions, making it the preferred choice for critical applications requiring lightweight yet high-strength materials.
The aramid fiber composites segment is anticipated to witness the fastest growth rate from 2026 to 2033, fueled by increasing use in ballistic protection, aerospace, and defense applications. For instance, companies such as DuPont are innovating with aramid-based composites for helmets, body armor, and aerospace panels, capitalizing on its high impact resistance and thermal stability. Growing awareness regarding protective gear in defense and safety-conscious industries, combined with expanding use in automotive and industrial sectors, drives strong demand. The lightweight nature, high tensile strength, and resistance to abrasion and chemical degradation make aramid composites an increasingly attractive choice across multiple high-performance applications.
• By Resin
On the basis of resin, the market is segmented into Advanced Thermoplastic and Advanced Thermosetting. The advanced thermosetting resin segment dominated the market with the largest revenue share in 2025, driven by its ability to deliver excellent thermal and chemical resistance, structural stability, and mechanical strength under extreme conditions. Aerospace, automotive, and wind energy industries extensively use thermosetting composites in high-load-bearing and high-temperature applications, providing long-term reliability. For instance, Hexcel and Cytec manufacture thermosetting prepregs and laminates for aircraft structures and industrial machinery, underscoring the resin’s pivotal role in high-performance composite applications.
The advanced thermoplastic resin segment is projected to witness the fastest growth from 2026 to 2033, fueled by increasing adoption in automotive, medical, and consumer goods sectors for lightweight, recyclable, and high-performance components. Thermoplastic composites offer faster manufacturing cycles and improved toughness compared to thermosets, making them ideal for mass production. Companies such as Solvay are innovating with thermoplastic composites for automotive structural parts and lightweight aerospace components, driving market momentum. The ability to reprocess and thermoform thermoplastic composites enhances sustainability and cost-efficiency, appealing to environmentally conscious manufacturers.
• By Manufacturing Process
On the basis of manufacturing process, the market is segmented into Automated Tape Laying (ATL) and Automated Fiber Placement (AFP), Hand Layup/Spray Layup, Compression Molding, Resin Transfer Molding (RTM), Injection Molding, Filament Winding, Pultrusion, and Others. The Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) segment dominated the market with the largest revenue share in 2025, driven by its precision, automation, and efficiency in producing large-scale, high-performance composite structures for aerospace and defense applications. AFP allows consistent fiber placement, optimized material utilization, and reduced labor costs, supporting adoption in aircraft fuselage, wing components, and spacecraft. For instance, Boeing and Lockheed Martin implement AFP extensively for carbon fiber-reinforced panels, highlighting its critical role in advanced manufacturing.
The resin transfer molding (RTM) segment is expected to witness the fastest growth rate from 2026 to 2033, fueled by its cost-effectiveness, repeatability, and suitability for medium-to-large components in automotive, energy, and industrial sectors. RTM offers excellent surface finish, high fiber volume fraction, and design flexibility, making it attractive for mass-produced composite parts. Companies such as Gurit are innovating RTM processes for wind turbine blades and automotive structural components, driving adoption. The balance of production efficiency, structural performance, and scalability contributes to RTM’s rapid growth.
• By End-User
On the basis of end-user, the North America Advanced Composites Market is segmented into Aerospace and Defense, Energy and Power, Automotive, Sports Equipment, Civil Engineering, Electrical and Electronics, Healthcare, and Others. The aerospace and defense segment dominated the market with the largest revenue share in 2025, driven by the critical demand for lightweight, high-strength, and fatigue-resistant materials in aircraft, spacecraft, and defense equipment. Stringent safety standards, fuel efficiency targets, and the need for high-performance components in military aircraft and satellites reinforce market dominance. For instance, Airbus extensively uses carbon fiber composites for fuselage panels and wing structures, highlighting the segment’s strategic importance.
The automotive segment is anticipated to witness the fastest growth from 2026 to 2033, fueled by the global shift toward lightweight, fuel-efficient, and electric vehicles. Composites offer significant weight reduction, improved energy efficiency, and enhanced crashworthiness, meeting regulatory and consumer demands.
