Flourishment of Construction Industry
The demand for construction composites is increasing with a rise in the use of technologically advanced processes in construction activities. Composite materials, particularly fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites, contribute to a lower construction cost, as much less material can be used without sacrificing structural stability. FRP composites are created by the reinforcement of plastic polymer resins with the integration of fibers with high mechanical strength. The resin matrix in composite mainly distributes loads among the fibers, thus aiding protection along with providing strength and stiffness to the composite materials. Composites are widely used in the production of building products such as windows, doors, siding, fencing, roofing, and decks. Thus, the continuous proliferation of the construction industry is creating demand for plastic-based composites, subsequently bolstering the plastics for composites market growth .
