An ESOMAR-certified market research and competitive intelligence provider, projects the global continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) composites market to have a positive outlook. Study evaluates surging at a CAGR of above 8% across the 2021-2031 forecast period.
Continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composite is an advanced material that offers a superior combination of being lightweight and stiffness. These are also freely formable, easy to process, and recyclable.
Due to their properties such as lightweight, stiffness, etc., continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites have become popular in many sectors such as the automotive industry, aerospace, and electronics. CFRTP composites are mainly made by thermoplastic resin and fiber reinforcement. Usually, PEEK, PP, PE, PET, and PS can be chosen as resin matrix while carbon fiber, glass fiber, and aramid fiber are preferred as fiber reinforcement.
CFRTP composite materials are also used for different purposes in the aircraft industry. The benefit of composites is that they can sustain their identities and do not join completely with each other. On mixing, these materials create a hybrid material that has better structural properties, and can be used for aerospace components.
Rising need for lightweight and high-strength composites coupled with increasing need for fuel-efficient aircraft are some of the major factors propelling market growth.
