The report analyzes the global long fiber thermoplastics market's drivers, restraints/challenges, and the effect they have on the demands during the projection period. In addition, the report explores emerging opportunities in the long fiber thermoplastics industry.
Long fiber thermoplastics are the integration of thermoplastic matrix and long fibers that result in a material having improved mechanical features in comparison to conventional short-fiber composites. Reportedly, these products offer high strength and stiffness with thermoplastic matrix imparting processability, strength, and impact resistance to the substance. Moreover, they are the products that reduce the gap between conventional fiber-reinforced composites and compounds. In addition to this, the product can be easily processed in a standard injection molding process and acquire enhanced mechanical performance in comparison to its short fiber counterparts. Additionally, long-fiber thermoplastics are a slew of injection moldable thermoplastics produced in a process of pultrusion through which bundled fibers are impregnated and then cut into granules.
Beneficial product features to boost global market trends
The global long fiber thermoplastics market is likely to witness significant growth over the next years and is expected to grow at a noticeable rate within the forecast period. There is massive growth potential for the global market owing to its variety of applications, excellent properties, and growing demand for the product. Superior processability, good corrosion resistance, higher shelf life, excellent mechanical properties, and low density are the crucial attributes that are predicted to boost the demand for long fiber thermoplastics across a slew of end-use sectors. The escalating demand for long fiber thermoplastics from electronic appliances such as air purifiers, ceiling fans, microwaves, and air conditioners will prop up the global market demand.
Furthermore, an increasing demand for long-fiber thermoplastics from the automotive industry is the major factor driving the growth of the market across the globe. The growing use of lightweight substances for improving fuel efficiency is predicted to steer the global market expansion. For instance, the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standard, has constantly emphasized the use of lightweight materials such as long fiber thermoplastics. Hence, the automotive sector is likely to remain the key user of long-fiber thermoplastics in the years ahead.
New product launches will help in enhancing the global market potential in the years to come. For instance, in May 2023, Avient Corporation, a key player in the specialized polymer materials sector, launched Complet™ and OnForce™ long fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites in the Asian sub-continent. In July 2022, Sumitomo Chemical Advanced Technologies, LLC, a key player in the semiconductor manufacturing sector, developed a new family of long-fiber thermoplastic composites embedded with high-performing liquid crystal polymer matrices. Such strategic moves are likely to pave the way for growth of the market across the globe.
Huge production & operating costs to put brakes on the global industry surge by 2030
The factor that can hinder the global long fiber thermoplastics industry expansion is the high processing & manufacturing costs. A rise in the costs of raw components and disruption in supply chain activities can deter the expansion of the global industry in the upcoming years. Large-scale use of special tooling methods for producing long fiber thermoplastics has proved to be very expensive, thereby posing a huge threat to the expansion of the global industry.
Rise in the demand for environment-friendly products in a slew of end-use sectors to boost the global market over 2023-2030
Escalating demand for mass reduction & light weighting in the aviation sector along with the growing use of eco-friendly products in various end-use sectors will open new growth avenues for the global long fiber thermoplastics market in the coming years. Furthermore, these products are preferred over heavy materials owing to their environment-friendly features, thereby enlarging the scope of the global market demand. The massive need for reducing the costs of material during fiber reinforcement will propel the expansion of the market globally.
Stringent government legislation pertaining to product usage in a slew of end-use sectors can prove to be a huge challenge for the global industry
Strict government laws regulating the use of products in various end-use sectors can prove to be detrimental to the growth of the global long fiber thermoplastics industry. Apart from this, changing costs of the product can further deteriorate the expansion of the industry across the globe in the years ahead.
