Global Long Fiber Thermoplastics Industry Overview

The high demand for long fiber thermoplastics from the automotive industry is identified as a key factor contributing to the growth of the global long fiber thermoplastics market. Long fiber thermoplastics (LFTs) are extensively used as replacements for conventional materials such as metal assemblies, die castings, and underperforming plastics in the automotive industry. They are lightweight and enhance the performance, dimensional stability, and strength of the automobile. They also improve resistance to corrosion and offer flexibility in designs. LFTs reduce the overall weight of an automobile and improve the fuel efficiency to meet the quality standards set by regulatory bodies. The reduced vehicle weight aids in saving energy by reducing brake and tire wear and emissions. LFTs are lightweight, environment-friendly alternatives to heavy metals and help in lowering the total material costs. The increasing number of automobiles and the consequent rise in the use of LFTs in the automotive industry will drive growth in the market.

Moreover, our market experts observed that hybrid LFTs offer high performance at low cost by blending carbon fibers with other fiber reinforcements such as glass fibers. It has been observed that the combination of glass and fiber reinforcements enhances performance and reduces the overall weight. The development of hybrid LFTs is identified as one of the key trends that will gain traction in the long fiber thermoplastics market until the end of 2022. Owing to such factors the long fiber thermoplastics market is expected to grow at a CAGR over 9% during 2018-2022.
