[192 Pages Report] The Long Fiber Thermoplastics Market size was estimated at USD 3.45 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 3.74 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 9.07% to reach USD 6.34 billion by 2030.

Long fiber composites offer advanced structural performance in injection moldable thermoplastics while combining high stiffness, strength, and toughness levels in a single material. Long fiber composites’ high mechanical performance characteristics make them a preferred substitute for metals, as a replacement for under-performing plastics, or as alternatives to higher-cost engineering polymers through up-engineering of lower-cost plastics. They are widely utilized in the automotive and aerospace industries, and many users have started to adopt bio-based versions of this material. However, the price volatility of raw materials, primarily polyamide and polypropylene, and complex manufacturing and maintenance of long fiber thermoplastics impede their development. Market players are investing in research and development (R&D) activities to continue the advancement of long-fiber thermoplastic technology and materials to meet the changing industry standards. Long fiber composites are also being recycled, which reduces their environmental impacts.
