Global Unidirectional Tapes (UD Tapes) Market Growth 2025-2031

Global Unidirectional Tapes (UD Tapes) Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Unidirectional Tapes (UD Tapes) market size is predicted to grow from US$ 308 million in 2025 to US$ 850 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18.5% from 2025 to 2031.

UD tapes are composite materials based on unidirectional carbon fibers. The UD tapes can be manufactured using various thermoplastics according to customer requests. A unidirectional carbon fiber tape is a reinforcement tape that consists of several thousand parallel carbon fibers lightly bound together. Tape mechanical properties can be tuned by selecting the adequate number of fibers and the carbon type: high modulus or high strength.

Thermoplastic Unidirectional Tapes holds a comparatively larger share in global market, which accounts for about 69% in 2019.

UD tapes are used in various end-use industries, such as aerospace & defence, automotive, and sports & leisure. The UD tapes market in the aerospace & defence industry is entirely dependent on the development of new aircrafts and maintenance, repair and operations (MRO). UD tapes are used as composites which provides weight saving of 40%–50% over their conventional aluminium counterparts. Factors such as world GDP, airline fleet and traffic, and cargo traffic will determine the growth for UD tapes market in this segment. Evonik Industries, Solvay, SABIC, Teijin, Toray Advanced Composites (TenCate) and Celanese are key manufacturers of UD Tapes in the world.
