global composite market hit $96.8B in 2024 and is projected CAGR 7.9% to 2030, raising substitution risk in weight-sensitive sectors. A competitor offering non-metallic systems priced 20-30% lower could cut GS-Hydro share in offshore and aerospace segments. Staying competitive needs sustained R\u0026amp;D spend-GS-Hydro must match or exceed industry R\u0026amp;D intensity (~3-5% of sales) to defend technical edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-section image-2_new_design\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"\/cdn\/shop\/files\/SWOT-Content-Threats-Image.svg\" alt=\"Explore a Preview\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"highlight-box\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlight-icon\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"\/cdn\/shop\/files\/SWOT-Content-Threats-Storm-Icon-Color-1.svg\" alt=\"Icon\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGeopolitical Tensions and Trade Barriers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlight-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOngoing conflicts and trade disputes raise shipping costs and delays;
