Stratview Research’s report, “AFP/ATL Machines Market by Machine Type, End-User Type, and by Region, Forecast, Competitive Analysis, and Growth Opportunity: 2019-2024”, provides detailed insights on the market dynamics. As per the report, the global AFP/ATL machines market is forecasted to reach an estimated value of $294.7 million in 2024.
The growth of AFP/ATL machines is governed by factors such as benefits over the traditional hand layup process coupled with organic growth of the aerospace industry are the prime growth drivers. AFP/ATL machines lay prepreg material efficiently at a rate of more than 50 lbs. per hour with improved part quality, which is not possible with the traditional hand layup process. A skilled technician can generally lay prepreg at 2.5 lbs. per hour. These machines are playing a pivotal role in achieving OEMs' focus on the development of lightweight composite parts with reduced cycle time.
