The preference for balsa core materials is expected to increase in Asia-Pacific, owing to increase in wind turbine installations. In 2016, China installed 23.3 gigawatts (GW) of wind power capacity, almost three times the 8.2 GW that the U.S., which took second place, installed in the same year. China possesses high growth potential owing to presence of giants in composites industry, which in turn is anticipated to benefit the market growth.

Balsa core is the most commonly used end-grain wood core and possesses high strength and stiffness to weight ratio. It has a wide range of properties such as excellent fire resistance, high sheer strength, wide operating temperature, and thermal & acoustic insulation. Increase in demand for lightweight materials in wide range of end-use industries such as marine, aerospace, and construction is expected to fuel the market growth during the forecast period. Minimum density and ability to absorb large amount of resins during lamination are expected to hamper the growth of global balsa core materials market during the forecast period.
Balsa core materials are available in two type viz. monolayer and multilayer. The multilayer segment accounted for significant share in 2016, and is expected to witness high growth rate during the forecast period. This is attributed to it higher energy absorption property as compared to monolayer materials.
