Factors Affecting the Growth of the Long-Fiber Thermoplastics Industry:
-
Rising Need for Lightweight Materials
A demand for lightweight materials in the automotive and aerospace sectors is strengthening the market for long-fiber thermoplastics (LFT). The high strength-to-weight ratio of LFTs enables a very robust solution that provides design engineers and product developers weight savings while delivering a high level of structural integrity. A reduction in weight is critical for applications in which taking weight where you will be 100% above the limit, take every gram is vital for the part or component design. Also, emissions are becoming very restrictive and environmental issues surrounding the automotive production and supply chain, has pushed the market benefits in the automotive and aerospace sectors. Further, some of the leading manufacturers are considering the use of lightweight alternatives to traditional materials such as metals over the lifetime of a car, further driving their market growth.
-
Increasing Demand for High-Performance Materials
The rising popularity of high-performance materials in industries that prioritize durability, impact resistance, and flexibility of design is leading to a positive outlook in the near future. Long Fiber Thermoplastics (LFTs) are able to provide a good balance of strength and stiffness and increase impact resistance, which would allow their application in demanding applications, such as automotive components, and structural parts in the aerospace industry. They will not only improve mechanical properties, and reliability but also ensure the product is tested to meet regulatory standards. Additionally, the demand for durable materials, that are capable of standing up to extreme conditions, that provide design freedom will continue to spur growth in the market.
-
Sustainability Initiatives
The increasing usage of LFTs, owing to sustainability concerns and strict regulations, is propelling market growth. Manufacturing industries are looking for sustainable alternatives to materials they have used for a long time. LFTs can be recycled and are lightweight and are consistent with sustainability aims. LFTs have a significantly smaller carbon footprint across their lifecycle than metals and thermoset composites, creating a favorable adoption for LFTs from manufacturers wanting to achieve sustainability targets. Furthermore, consumers around the world have increasing preferences for eco-friendly products which are also benefitting this market growth.
