Global Organosheet and Semi-Finished Thermoplastic UD-Tape Laminate Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Organosheet and Semi-Finished Thermoplastic UD-Tape Laminate are structural material, which has the characteristics of low cost and high performance, especially in the field of light weight transportation, and can replace some metal materials and high-end polymer materials.

Organic board is a thermoplastic non-crystalline resin, colorless, odorless, odorless and shiny, light in weight and cheap, low water absorption, good coloring, stable chemical properties, excellent electrical insulation, high frequency insulation Especially good, it has certain impact resistance, weather resistance and aging resistance, good light transmission, and can withstand general chemical corrosion.

The fibers are mainly arranged in one direction and arranged in a thin layer; they are called unidirectional tapes (UD tapes). UD tapes are continuous fiber reinforced tapes in which glass fibers or carbon fibers are embedded. Although they can be made very thin, they have high stability and are very light at the same time, so that parts with complex shapes can be produced. Thermoplastic UD tape is not only suitable for recycling, but also high processing efficiency, high toughness, low flammability and electrical conductivity are also important properties.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Organosheet and Semi-Finished Thermoplastic UD-Tape Laminate market finds that the global Organosheet and Semi-Finished Thermoplastic UD-Tape Laminate market reached a value of USD 797.98 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 1471.23 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 10.73% during the forecast period.

Policy support and supervision

In the post-epidemic period, the COVID-19 pandemic has a potentially positive impact on the organic sheet and thermoplastic UD tape laminate market. The global experience makes people realize that everything in nature is interconnected, and green development is very important. In particular, European governments are adopting special fiscal measures to support the recovery of the green economy after the new crown pneumonia epidemic. This recovery will also help shape the future development of the organic sheet and thermoplastic UD tape laminate industry. Organic sheets and semi-finished thermoplastic UD tape laminates are fully recyclable and can be produced sustainably. They can be reprocessed and reshaped to make new fragments, thereby minimizing waste. For this industry, this is an extraordinary opportunity to take an important step towards a more sustainable future. The EU has a clear plan in this regard. The Vice President of the European Commission Frans Timmermans emphasized that every euro used for economic recovery measures will be linked to green and digital transformation. Every euro we invest All must flow into the new economy, not the old structure.

In addition, as global regulators update their requirements to significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions from cars, automakers around the world are at a critical juncture. In order to meet stringent requirements, parts and equipment manufacturers have adopted light weighting as an effective way to minimize fuel consumption. In the past, most structural and semi-structural car parts were made of heavy metals and steel. Over time, they would corrode, rust, and may lose their integrity. Their production may emit large amounts of chemicals that are harmful to the environment, and they force the carbon dioxide emissions of cars to exceed regulatory standards. The emerging industry trend is the transition to composite thermoplastic organic sheets, which have the same or even higher structural effect.

Technological progress has reduced manufacturing costs

In the past, the automotive industry was unable to switch to thermoplastics due to high production costs. The cost barriers previously associated with thermoplastics are being challenged, enabling more automakers to use this revolutionary product. Innovative layering technology is a two-step process that can significantly reduce the labor time required to produce organic panels. It eliminates the ultra-heavy industrial parts previously required for limited material output. Organic panels can now be manufactured quickly and efficiently, with high quality and less resource use. This innovative process is the result of years of expert research and meets all the mechanical requirements needed to manufacture high-quality laminated thermoplastic composites. In order to further reduce the cost of consumers, organic sheet technology enables customers to use efficient injection or compression molding to manufacture organic sheet auto parts. Molding organic sheets through injection molding or compression molding is a time-saving process that can quickly produce a large number of parts for mass production.

Viable low-cost alternatives appear

For example, in a study, low-cost recycled fiber was used to replace original carbon fiber in automotive-grade injection-molded polyamide 66 to obtain equivalent composite mechanical properties and improve sustainability. An injection molding compound for automotive applications was prepared from recycled carbon fiber and compared with existing commercial organic board products. The analysis shows that the performance of the recycled sample is similar to that of the commercial product organic board product enhancement, indicating that the recycled fiber may be a viable substitute for the discontinuous application of short fibers. Generally speaking, it was originally necessary to purchase commercial organic sheets to process products. Now the automotive industry uses recycled carbon fiber for processing and injection molding, which can also achieve the desired effect at low cost.

Product quality and technology need to be improved

Some organic panels are composite materials obtained through fiber reinforcement. The most serious problems are the lack of plastic behavior and the very low transverse shear strength. These characteristics may lead to premature rupture of the tendon, especially when there is a combined effect, such as when used in the construction industry, on the shear cracking plane of the reinforced concrete beam with the pin action, the pin action reduces the residual tension in the tendon And shear resistance, which eventually leads to fracture.
