Automated Fiber Placements and Automated Tape Laying (AFP- ATL) Machines Market is Booming Worldwide | Ingersoll Machine Tools Inc., Automated Dynamics

Automated fiber placement and automated tape laying machines are used for the fabrication of composites parts used in aerospace and defense industries. These machines help in precisely placing fiber tapes, tows and sheets on molds or cores to manufacture composite parts with high strength and lightweight properties.

Market Dynamics:

Increasing demand from aerospace and defense industry is one of the major factors estimated to boost the growth of the AFP- ATL machines market over the forecast period. AFP-ATL machines are extensively used for manufacturing composites components of aircraft fuselages, wings, tail assembly, and interior parts as they help reduce production time and costs. Additionally, growing need to replace aging aircraft fleet with new generation lightweight composite aircraft is also anticipated to support the market growth. Moreover, stringent regulation regarding reduction of fuel consumption and emission is further fueling the adoption of composite parts produced using AFP-ATL machines.

The global automated fiber placements and automated tape laying (AFP- ATL) machines market was valued at US$ 244.7 Mn in 2020 and is expected to reach US$ 439.6 Mn by 2028 at a CAGR of 8.0% between 2021 and 2028.

Growth in demand for composites in aircraft industry

The aerospace industry is increasingly adopting composite materials for aircraft structures due to their superior properties such as high strength-to-weight and stiffness-to-weight ratios. Carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs) offer significant weight savings over aluminum, thereby helping aircraft manufacturers reduce fuel costs and emissions. Automated fiber placement and automated tape laying machines play a crucial role in manufacturing CFRP components for aircraft empennages, wings, fuselages and other structures. The growing demand for new aircraft programs and upgrades of existing aircraft fleets is driving the need for AFP-ATL machines. Major aircraft OEMs such as Boeing and Airbus have significantly increased their carbon fiber usage targets to reduce aircraft weight. This is expected to drive robust demand for AFP-ATL machines in the coming years.

Rising need for mass production of composite components

With the increasing use of composites in commercial aircraft, automotive, wind energy and other industries, there is a need for mass production of composite parts. AFP-ATL machines help meet this need through high-speed, automated lamination of large and complex composite parts with precision. They offer advantages such as reduced labor costs, improved part quality and repeatability compared to manual layup processes. The ability of AFP-ATL machines to mass produce complex composite components cost-effectively is boosting their adoption across industries. As organizations aim to reduce production cycle times and costs, demand for these automated machining solutions is growing.

High capital investment requirements

While AFP-ATL machines provide significant advantages over manual layup, their high capital costs act as a deterrent, especially for small and medium enterprises. An advanced, industrial-grade AFP-ATL system can cost anywhere between $1-3 million depending on the machine size and capabilities. Additionally, integration and commissioning of these large machines require considerable infrastructure investments. The high upfront investment poses challenges for cash-strapped composites manufacturers and prevents some from automating their production processes. Financing options are limited and long payback periods discourage the purchase of advanced AFP-ATL systems. This high capital intensity remains a major restraint on the market's growth.

Growth of robot-based, small-scale AFP solutions

To overcome the barrier of high capital costs for AFP systems, some manufacturers are now offering robot-based, articulated AFP head solutions on a smaller scale. These modular, lower-cost machines utilize industrial robots with integrated AFP heads instead of large gantry machines. They offer a more affordable option for companies producing smaller parts with medium production volumes. The modular design also provides flexibility to configure the machines for different part geometries. With initial investments starting under $500,000, robot-based AFP solutions are gaining traction among cost-conscious manufacturers. Their ability to automate production while working with lower budgets presents new opportunities for market expansion.
