    Analyst Opinion

    The manufacturing market has faced several challenges in recent years due to geopolitical uncertainty, supply chain disruptions, changing consumer preferences, and increasing regulatory scrutiny. However, several positive factors, such as rising global demand, ongoing technological advancements, and increasing investment in automation and digitalization, continue to influence the market, and the outlook for manufacturing remains positive.

    While the Covid-19 pandemic has caused significant hardships for manufacturers, those that invested in digitalization and automation of their processes will be best positioned for long-term success. Manufacturers who can effectively balance cost pressures and maintain a strong focus on quality are likely to survive the current crisis and come out more resilient in the end.

    Among the factors that could affect the manufacturing market in 2023 is the adoption of advanced technology, such as artificial intelligence, robotics, and the Internet of Things (IoT), which have the potential to improve overall efficiency and productivity while reducing costs.

    Furthermore, our analysts believe that sustainability and environmental awareness will become increasingly important trends, as more investors and consumers prefer companies that prioritize these values and develop eco-friendly products.

    Finally, geopolitical factors such as trade tensions and changes in government policies could also impact the manufacturing market in 2023, with the Russia-Ukraine war having the biggest impact.

    In summary, the current environment presents both challenges and opportunities for the manufacturing market in 2023. However, with the right managerial strategies and high flexibility, companies can succeed and strengthen their long-term market position.

    Global composite materials industry - statistics & facts

    Plywood, first produced thousands of years ago, was the one of the first composites ever made, while today many high-tech composites have been developed, such as nanocomposites, graphene composites, or carbon fiber reinforced polymers, to name a few. Composite materials, also known simply as composites, are materials made from two or more materials with very different chemical and physical properties to produce a new material with characteristics that differ greatly from their individual forms when combined. Two types of materials (known as constituent materials) are used to produce composites, of which one or more of each type is required: matrix (the material that binds) and reinforcement materials. In 2023, the total global market volume of composites amounted to an estimated 13 million metric tons.
