簡介目錄

概述

全球長纖維熱塑性塑膠市場將於 2023 年達到 42 億美元，預計到 2031 年將達到 87 億美元，2024-2031 年預測期間複合年成長率為 9.5%。

新型長纖維熱塑性塑膠的開發將繼續促進全球市場的成長。例如，2023年11月，美國塑膠製造商PlastiComp宣布開發出一種新型碳纖維增強熱塑性複合材料。新型熱塑性塑膠將在未來幾年商業化。

降低生產成本的困難將繼續成為市場成長的主要障礙。即使科學家正在試驗生產技術，大規模生產仍然不可行。降低成本對於增加長纖維熱塑性塑膠在新工程應用中的採用至關重要。

動力學

持續轉向電動車

過去兩年，汽車產業擴大轉向採用電動車。大眾、日產、通用和福特等主要汽車製造商正在逐步擴大其電動車陣容，而比亞迪、Fisker Rivian 和特斯拉等純電動車公司則專注於透過推出新產品來擴大其產品範圍。長纖維熱塑性塑膠被用來製造各種電動汽車子系統的輕質零件。

印度等市場乘用車銷量的成長也將推動汽車對長纖維熱塑性塑膠的需求。例如，2024年3月，越南電動車品牌VinFast宣布計畫在印度南部建立新的生產設施。新工廠將為國內和出口市場生產車輛。

擴大使用遊蕩彈藥進行戰爭

俄烏戰爭雙方都在使用遊蕩彈藥進行殺傷人員和反裝甲戰。它大大提高了部隊執行各種複雜地面行動的能力，而不會在戰鬥環境中實際危及他們的安全，也不需要昂貴的空對地飛彈。

在巡飛彈藥的製造中使用熱塑性複合材料具有多種優點。首先，它減輕了彈藥的整體重量，使其射程更長；其次，它最大限度地減少了金屬部件的使用，使其難以被傳統雷達系統檢測到。隨著越來越多的國家採用巡飛彈藥作為其武器庫的一部分，這將增加國防設備製造公司對長纖維熱塑性塑膠的需求。

加工製造成本高

長纖維熱塑性塑膠是透過密集製程製造的，包括最終檢查和包裝之前的成型、冷卻、固化和修整。整個生產過程相對新穎，涉及高度複雜的機械的使用。鑑於其總體產量有限，這導致最終產品的價格上漲。

長纖維熱塑性塑膠相對較高的成本仍然是市場成長的絆腳石。儘管已經開發出一些新的經濟生產技術，但尚未用於大規模生產。只要長纖維熱塑性塑膠的成本仍居高不下，最終用戶就會繼續青睞更經濟的替代品，從而縮小未來成長的範圍。

The development of new types of long fiber thermoplastics will continue to augment global market growth. For example, in November 2023, PlastiComp, a U.S.-based manufacturer of plastics, announced the development of a new type of carbon-fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite. New types of thermoplastics will be commercialized in the coming years.

The difficulty in lowering production costs will continue to remain a key handicap for market growth. Even as scientists are experimenting with techniques of production, mass production still remains unfeasible. Lowering costs is essential to increase the adoption of long fiber thermoplastics in new engineering applications.

Dynamics

Ongoing Shift Towards Electric Vehicles

Over the past two years, the automotive industry is increasingly shifting towards the adoption of electric vehicles. Major carmakers like Volkswagen, Nissan, General Motors and Ford are gradually expanding their lineup of electric vehicles, while EV-exclusive companies like BYD, Fisker Rivian and Tesla are focused on expanding their product range with new launches. Long fiber thermoplastics are being used to manufacture lightweight components for various EV subsystems.

The growth in passenger vehicle sales in markets like India, will also boost automotive demand for long fiber thermoplastics. For instance, in March 2024, VinFast, a Vietnamese EV brand, announced plans to establish a new production facility in southern India. The new facility will construct vehicles for the domestic and export market.

Increasing Usage of Loitering Munitions for Warfare

Both sides in the Russia-Ukraine war are using loitering munitions for anti-personnel and anti-armour warfare. It greatly improves the ability of troops to carry out various complex ground operations without actually endangering their safety in a combat environment and without needing expensive air-to-ground missiles.

The usage of thermoplastic composites in the construction of loitering munitions offers various advantages. Firstly, it reduces the overall weight of the munition, giving it longer range and secondly, it minimizes the usage of metal parts, rendering it difficult to detect by traditional radar systems. As more countries adopt loitering munitions as part of their arsenal, it will boost the demand for long fiber thermoplastics from defence equipment manufacturing companies.

High Cost of Processing and Manufacturing

Long fiber thermoplastics are manufactured through an intensive process that involves molding, cooling, curing and trimming before final inspection and packaging. The entire production process is relative novel and involves the usage of highly complex machinery. Given its overall limited production, it leads to increased prices for the final product.

The relatively high cost of long fiber thermoplastics remains a stumbling block for market growth. Alhtough some new economical production techniques have been developed, they are yet to be adopted for mass production. As long as the cost of long fiber thermoplastics remains high, end-users will continue to favor more economical alternatives, thus reducing the scope of future growth.

Segment Analysis

The global long fiber thermoplastics market is segmented based on resin, fiber, manufacturing process, application, end-user and region.

The Automotive Industry Will Continue to be a Leading End-user

The global automotive industry is currently shifting towards the adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles. As such, the main priority for automakers is to ensure that electric vehicles are more lightweight and have longer range capacity. Therefore, most automakers are expanding the usage of long fiber thermoplastics for achieving targeted weight reduction.

The thermoplastics are also witnessing a surge in adoption in the aerospace industry, particularly in the manufacturing of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) for reconnaissance and combat applications. With drones taking over many of the tasks traditionally reserved for manned aircrafts, their usage in the aerospace industry will increase over the upcoming years.

Geographical Penetration

Asia-Pacific Will Have the Largest Market Share

Asia-Pacific will have the largest share in the global market, given China's lead in the development of electric vehicles. In 2023, China overtook Japan to become the largest automotive exporter in the world. Chinese automakers are having state backing and are looking to enter new export markets in Africa and South America. The demand for long fiber thermoplastics will only continue to increase in the future.

In recent years, many multinational companies have become vary of increasing geopolitical tensions with China and are opting to outsource their production facilities to India. The country has had notable success in attracting electronics manufacturers to up production centers. The shifting of electronics production to India will give rise to new growth opportunities for the market in Asia-Pacific.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

Fulfilling existing contracts was a major challenge for long fiber thermoplastic manufacturers during the pandemic period. Lockdowns and labor shortages had led to major production hiccups, leaving many producers incapable of supplying their clients. As the pandemic progressed, demand from automotive and aerospace sectors reduced sharply due to a virtual halt of the global transportation industry.

Although the pandemic era witnessed a decline in sales, it was more down to supply chain constraints rather than a natural decline in demand. Demand rose sharply in the initial weeks and months of the post-pandemic period as manufacturers struggled to keep pace. Companies are now focused on developing new thermoplastic materials to aid their growth. Overall, the pandemic is unlikely to have any negative implications on the long term growth of the global market.

Russia-Ukraine War Impact Analysis

The war in Ukraine created significant demand for long fiber thermoplastics for defence applications, particularly for the production of FPV drones and loitering munitions. Both Ukraine and Russia have upped defence equipment production, to replenish depleted stocks and create reserves of equipment for future offensive operations.

The sanctions imposed by U.S. and EU on the Russian market have cut off access to western-made thermoplastics. Therefore, to fulfill wartime contract obligations, many Russian defence enterprises have resorted to grey market imports and Chinese suppliers to fill gaps left by western sanctions. The Russian government has also provided financial backing to increase domestic production of long fiber thermoplastics.
