Long Fiber Thermoplastics Market by Resin (Polyamide / Nylon, Polyether Ether Ketone, Polyphthalamide), Fiber (Carbon, Glass), Manufacturing Process, End-Use Industry - Global Forecast 2024-2030


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.

Global Long Fiber Thermoplastics Market 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.Regional InsightsThe European long-fiber thermoplastics market is growing, driven by the presence of well-established players joining long-term contracts with end-users for various products. The region has thermoplastics production facilities across Germany, Italy, France, the Netherlands, and the UK, with various distribution units serving multiple markets. With the need for light-weight and fuel-efficient vehicles rising across the region with the government support, the production of vehicles is expected to rise significantly in the region. The Americas portrays a largely growing aerospace and automotive market, requiring advanced materials for developing vehicles. The market players in Europe are also focused on offering material customization to meet the performance and sustainability requirements of each end-user. The Asia-Pacific region offers a large offering of raw materials for global long-fiber thermoplastics manufacturers and has emerged as a potential hub for manufacturing facility expansion.
