Composite materials are no longer niche technical curiosities — they have quietly become central to the way modern infrastructure, transport, consumer goods, and aerospace systems are designed and built. From lightweight structural elements to heat-resistant protective layers, composites combine two or more constituent materials to deliver properties that single materials cannot.

As cities expand and environmental concerns deepen, engineered wood — often called wood composite — is emerging from factory floors into mainstream construction conversations. Once relegated to behind-the-scenes uses like subpanels or low-cost furniture, these materials are now being positioned as a viable alternative to traditional lumber for visible and structural applications alike.

Composite materials are drawing increasing attention from engineers, policy makers, and industry leaders as sectors from transportation to space systems seek greater efficiency and resilience. Once treated as specialty materials for niche uses, modern composites are now being integrated into mainstream design strategies. This report reviews several major families of composite materials, explains why they
