Global Out of Autoclave (OOA) Prepreg Market was valued at US$ 185.89 Mn in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 236.50 Mn by 2030 at a CAGR of 3.5% over the forecast period 2022-2030.
Out Of Autoclave (OOA) Prepreg Market Overview:
OOA prepreg currently occupies a small share of the entire prepreg market, but remarkable growth is expected over the next five years. OOA prepregs are low cost infrastructure, low void content (<1%) in thick laminates, uniform resin distribution, avoidance of dry spots and resin rich pockets, low temperature.
Commercial use of OOA prepregs is still limited to a handful of applications. However, the composites industry has seen a surge in demand for OOA prepregs in most industries such as aerospace and defense and wind energy. All major prepregs are increasingly involved in the development of OOA prepregs and their commercial use in various industries. There is very similar interest recorded from tier players and OEMs.

Significant Market Dynamics:
Compared to conventional autoclave technology, the high-performance properties of composite materials and cost-effective and efficient manufacturing processes are key market drivers.
Many composite components have traditionally been manufactured using high-pressure processing techniques, which are exceptionally capital-intensive, require high operating costs, and slow cure cycle times.
Composite curing outside an autoclave offers a number of advantages over traditional prepregs, such as cost-effective infrastructure and high-performance characteristics, leading many manufacturers to look for a less costly and versatile autoclave exterior. composite curing technology.
For example, in March 2017 Dow Automotive Systems launched VAUSE, a new solution for out-of-autoclave prepreg composites designed to achieve fast cycle times during manufacturing by acting like compression molding.
The new VORAFUSE can be cured in 2 to 5 minutes for high-volume manufacturing with potential applications in a variety of structural applications where strength, stiffness and lightweight structures are required.
However, it is impossible to manufacture large parts, and the possibility of foreign substances being diluted during the manufacturing process is relatively high, which is expected to hinder the growth of the market.
