Global Long Fiber Thermoplastics Market to 2024 by End Use Industry, Material Form, Fiber Type, Resin Type, Region
DUBLIN, Oct. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Long Fiber Thermoplastics Report: Trends, Forecast and Competitive Analysis" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The LFT market is expected to reach an estimated $1.3 billion by 2024 with a CAGR of 5.4% from 2019 to 2024.
The future of the long fiber thermoplastics (LFT) market looks attractive with opportunities in the automotive, industrial, and consumer goods industries. The major drivers for this market are increasing demand for lightweight materials in various end use industries as well as its performance and process benefits, such higher strength to weight ratio, recyclability, and remoldablity.
Emerging trends, which have a direct impact on the dynamics of the LFT market, include, development of polyamide based LFT/D-LFT for structural application and increasing use of bio based materials in LFT.
The report forecasts that LFRT will remain the largest segment by value and volume due to increasing demand in the automotive and industrial application. The D-LFT segment is expected to witness highest growth over the forecast period due to the growing in-line part fabrication in automotive industry.
Within LFT market, automotive will remain the largest segment and it is also expected to witness highest growth during the forecast period supported by growing automotive production and increasing focus on thermoplastic resin based composite materials. Door module, front end module, instrumental panel, running board, and underbody shield are some of the major applications of LFT in the automotive industry.
Europe will remain the largest region for LFT market due to growing demand for lightweight and environmentally sustainable composite materials. Asia Pacific is expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period due to the growing automotive production and increasing focus on lightweight composite materials.
Some of the LFT companies profiled in this report include SABIC, RTP Company, Cytec Solvay Group, Chisso/JN, Borealis AG, TechnoCompound, Sambark, Xiamen, PolyOne, and Celanese Corporation.
