Composites Future, leveraging the synergy with Plast and Xylexpo, aspires to be a showcase for the world of composites, including materials and processing technologies. This industry is growing exponentially year after year: according to estimates, in 2025 the global market of high-performance composite materials will reach a total value above 70 billion euro. Italy is among the top manufacturers of composites, after Germany, the Eastern countries, and Spain and Portugal. The main target industries are shipbuilding, automotive, aerospace, construction, wind power and alternative energy sources. Composite materials are used in highly dynamic markets, where double-digit growth rates are expected in the next twenty years: hence, the need to experiment new processing methods, relying on “similar” technologies like those exhibited at MaTec 2026 from June 9 to 12.
