The global industrial composite manufacturing equipment market is witnessing strong growth, valued at USD 5.8 billion in 2025 and projected to reach USD 11.5 billion by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of 7.1% during the forecast period. Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing region in the industrial composite manufacturing equipment market due to rapid industrialization, expanding aerospace and automotive manufacturing, increasing wind energy installations, and rising investments in advanced composite production technologies.

Vele Samak, Vice President at Mikrosam, said, “We are thrilled to support Qarbon Aerospace with this advanced and versatile AFP solution to accommodate different manufacturing processes and materials, Combined with Qarbon’s know-how in producing thermoplastic parts, and we believe this addition will speed up parts development and open new markets”.
The industrial composite manufacturing equipment market is being fuelled by the increasing renewable energy industry, especially wind energy. The blades of wind turbines of large scale need to be made of high-strength, lightweight composite materials, which also necessitate specific equipment to facilitate the creation of such materials by automated layup of fibers, their curing, and infusion of the resin. The growing interest in the global investments on wind power and energy infrastructure is increasing the rate at which the modernized composite manufacturing equipment is being adopted to guarantee efficiency, accuracy, and large-scale production.
The electrification trend is positively affecting the industrial composite manufacturing equipment market because electric vehicles (EVs) demand lightweight composite structural components like battery containers, body panels, and chassis components. This further increases the need of sophisticated manufacturing tools such as automated fiber placement, resin transfer molding and precise curing machinery that can help to produce high performance and lightweight parts that enhance EV range, safety, and energy efficiency.
Key adjacent opportunities in industrial composite manufacturing equipment market include investments in large-scale additive and out-of-autoclave (OOA) machine, large-scale thermoplastic composite processing and recycling machine, EVs lightweight structural components, and the retrofit of existing lines with automation, robotics, and Industry 4.0-enabled sensor, allowing manufacturers to increase efficiency, decrease cycle times and meet increasing demand on high-performance, sustainable composite materials in the aerospace, automotive and industrial markets.

The increasing uptake of new sophisticated materials, including carbon fiber, glass fiber, and high-performance thermoset and thermoplastic resins, is pushing the industrial composite manufacturing equipment market. These materials are better in strength-to-weight ratios, durability and thermal resistance, but are very sensitive and finely controlled during processing.
The industrial composite manufacturing equipment market is highly restrained by the volatility of raw material materials such as carbon fiber, glass fiber, and high-performance resins. Changes in the prices of these feedstocks have a direct effect on the total cost of the composite parts, as it increases production costs and influences the profitability of manufacturers. Given that composite manufacturing machines, including prepreg lines, autoclaves, pultrusion, and RTM machines are capital-intensive equipment, arbitrary costs of raw materials can increase payback periods and decrease ROI.
The industrial composite manufacturing equipment industry has a high growth potential, due to the growing use of thermoplastic composite, which is recyclable, has quicker processing speed, and better durability than the conventional thermoset composite. The increasing environmental concerns and tougher rules and regulations to be followed by manufacturers are compelling them to look into recyclable materials and methods. The trend is driving industry to invest in advanced equipment like ultrasonic welding, consolidation machines and reprocessing units that would be able to effectively deal with thermoplastic composites.
The noted trend in the industrial composite producing equipment industry is the rising use of robotic and collaborative-robot (cobot) layup cells. Cobots are engineered to have a safe coexistence with human operators, reduce the barrier to entry of automation among manufacturers and create a flexible and modular cell design. These systems enhance accuracy, save labor expenses and enable production of complicated composite parts with guaranteed quality.

Automated fiber placement (AFP) systems are currently the leading segment in the industrial composite manufacturing equipment market due to their ability to produce high-precision, lightweight composite components efficiently. AFP technology enables automated deposition of continuous fiber tows onto complex geometries, ensuring optimal fiber orientation and consistent quality, which is critical for aerospace, automotive, and energy applications.
North America is leading region for industrial composite manufacturing equipment market, driven primarily by strong aerospace, defense, and automotive sectors. The region hosts major aircraft manufacturers, OEMs, and Tier-1 suppliers investing heavily in lightweight, high-performance composite components to improve fuel efficiency, reduce emissions, and meet stringent regulatory standards. High adoption of advanced manufacturing technologies, such as Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) systems, robotic layup cells, and out-of-autoclave (OOA) processing, further fuels equipment demand.
The global industrial composite manufacturing equipment market is consolidated, with leading players including Ingersoll Machine Tools, MTorres Diseños Industriales, Electroimpact Inc., Broetje-Automation GmbH, and KraussMaffei Technologies. These companies sustain competitive advantages through advanced automation and robotics, Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) and filament winding technologies, high-precision machining and layup systems, digital manufacturing integration, Industry 4.0 capabilities, and end-to-end solutions spanning design, production, and quality assurance for complex composite structures.
The market value chain comprises equipment design and R&D, development of AFP heads, robotic layup cells, RTM and pultrusion systems, manufacturing of mechanical and control components, software development for automation and process control, system integration and testing, installation at customer sites, compliance with aerospace and industrial standards, and after-sales services such as maintenance, upgrades, digital monitoring, and performance optimization.
Entry barriers remain high due to capital-intensive equipment development, the need for deep expertise in composites, robotics, and automation, long qualification cycles in aerospace and defense, and strict regulatory and quality requirements.
Continuous innovation in robotic automation, thermoplastic composite processing, digital twins, and out-of-autoclave technologies continues to drive differentiation and global adoption of advanced industrial composite manufacturing equipment.

In September 2025, BEML Limited entered into a strategic partnership with Kineco Limited to strengthen indigenous advanced composite manufacturing for defence and aerospace applications in India. The collaboration focuses on the co-development and manufacturing of CFRP and GFRP structures, honeycomb cores, foams, and bonded composite components, supporting lightweight, high-performance defence and aerospace platforms and reinforcing domestic composite manufacturing capabilities under the Make in India initiative.
