Natural Fiber Reinforcement Materials Market By End Use Industry (Transportation, Building and Construction, Consumer Goods and Others), By Type (Hemp, Flax, Kenaf, Jute, Others): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2020-2030
The global natural fiber reinforcement materials market was valued at $360.97 million in 2020, and is projected to reach $694.64 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.81% from 2021 to 2030.
Natural fiber reinforcement materials are widely popular for research owing to their wide range of applications in polymer composites, sustainability, and eco-friendly nature. It is produced from materials that are composed of polymer matrix embedded with high strength natural fibers, such as sisal, jute, flax, kenaf, and oil palm. There is a huge increase in demand for naturally-derived materials because of the rise in environmental concerns and unsustainable consumption of petroleum.
The rise in individual awareness about environment protection augments the growth of the natural fiber reinforcement materials. In addition to this, upsurge in demand from the automotive industry and the eco-friendly nature of natural fiber reinforcement material drive the market growth. The rise in applications of natural fiber in construction and packaging industries is expected to boost the growth of the natural fiber reinforcement materials market in near future.
The presence of superior advantages, such as low weight and low cost and good properties of natural fiber over synthetic fibers are expected to augment the growth of the natural fiber reinforcement materials market. Increase in adoption of sustainable and environment-friendly materials to manufacture products, due to increase in the awareness among the consumers regarding the advantages of green materials is another driving factor for the development of the market. Implementation of strict government regulations is expected to increase the market demand for natural fiber reinforcement materials during the forecast period. The hydrophilic nature of natural fiber is expected to hinder the market growth, due to poor dimensional stability, processing ability, and porous nature.
The COVID-19 pandemic in 2019 has led to shutdown of a wide range of transportation activities and construction activities, which has negative impact on the development of the natural fiber reinforcement materials market. Low labor and unavailability of raw materials due to nationwide lockdown have led to shutdown of various manufacturing facilities. Decrease in demand for natural fibers during the outbreak of COVID-19 due to shutdown of automotive manufacturing companies and other sectors has a negative impact on the growth of the market.
The natural fiber reinforcement materials market is segmented on type, end-use industry, and region.
By type, the market is divided into hemp, flax, kenaf, jute, and others (coir, abaca, sisal). On the basis of end-use industry, it is segmented into transportation, building & construction and consumer goods & others.
