Prices of advanced materials are very high compared to their traditional counterparts. For instance, carbon fiber reinforced polymers are widely used in a diverse range of aerospace, sports, and wind energy applications, owing to their outstanding mechanical and thermal properties at high temperatures. However, the current prices for the production of carbon fiber’s traditional counterparts (e.g. aluminium) are five to seven times cheaper in comparison. This hampers the usage of carbon fiber, thereby acting as a major restraint for the carbon fiber reinforced polymers market.
High energy costs involved in the production of advanced ceramics may prove to be a roadblock in the long run. Production of advanced ceramics is carried out in a controlled environment at a high temperature. The entire process to get the final produce is time consuming and energy intensive. Hence, prices of advanced ceramics are higher due to the high manufacturing cost. Thus, it becomes difficult to achieve competitive pricing in the market.

The aerospace industry is constantly evolving due to the increasing requirement and subsequent introduction of new materials to replace the existing ones. Composite parts of aircrafts are defined by their material, processing, manufacturing specifications, and material allowed by engineering. The amount of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) used in their structure is only slightly less than the number of metals. Along with these, other reinforced matrices are also employed.
The automotive industry is currently tackling increasing demands for improvements in fuel economy and emission control. Therefore, there is a great deal of interest in the usage of advanced materials such as advanced high-strength steels, non-ferrous alloys (aluminum and titanium), and a variety of composites (carbon fiber and metal matrix) to produce lightweight vehicles.
E&E, especially consumer goods, is a rapidly growing industry due to constant developments in mobile phones and laptops. These changes are primarily focused on miniaturization of electrical circuits. Smart cars, with top-model features, are quickly becoming the new rage among auto manufacturers, where electronics are expected to constitute 40% of car component costs.
