長纖維熱塑性塑膠市場 – 2024 年至 2029 年預測Long Fiber Thermoplastics Market - Forecasts from 2024 to 2029 |
長纖維熱塑性塑膠市場預計在預測期內(2024-2029年)複合年成長率為8.47%。
近年來,長纖維熱塑性塑膠市場一直在成長,這主要是由於許多領域的需求不斷增加。這種成長得益於 LFT 的諸多優勢。 LFT具有高強度、耐用性、韌性和抗疲勞性等機械性能,並且與金屬和傳統熱塑性塑膠相比重量相對較輕。由於對 FRT 樹脂某些特性的了解加深,預計該市場也會成長。例如,輕盈、耐用、柔韌、高強度和耐熱性可能會在短期內推動對各種類型 LFT 的需求。
以聚丙烯類型來看,均聚物部分預計在預測期內成長最快。聚丙烯均聚物被認為是聚丙烯樹脂的最基本等級,具有僅包含丙烯單體的線性結構。與其他類型的聚丙烯相比,它的成長率最高,因此在全球市場上佔有最大的佔有率。這種成長是由於均聚物聚丙烯在建築、包裝、電氣和電子、醫療和汽車等最終應用中的使用不斷增加。非共用聚丙烯均聚物具有拉伸強度高、耐濕性低、耐各種化學溶劑(包括酸鹼)污染等優點。上述特性使其成為廣泛應用的理想材料,包括義肢和矯正器具、二級安全殼、泵浦和儲存槽。
促進這一特定領域成長的另一個因素是汽車應用中對輕質、耐用且廉價材料的需求不斷成長。這是因為均聚物聚丙烯的比例取決於消費量,而汽車應用是根據其輕質特性量身定做的,可提高汽車的燃油效率。此外,在預測期內,聚丙烯的使用量不斷增加,特別是在食品和飲料等包裝領域,預計也將推動聚合物品種的發展,特別是在均聚物領域。
長纖維熱塑性塑膠 (LFT) 在汽車生產中的使用越來越多,這是由於其獨特的性能組合,包括高強度、輕質、抗蠕變和抗翹曲。
LFT 的一個典型要求是增加金屬在結構和半結構特徵中的應用,例如車門模組、前端模組、儀錶面板、車身底部護罩等。此外,對更小、更輕、更窄車架的汽車和商用車的需求不斷成長,也推動了 LFT 使用增加的趨勢。特別是在歐洲,人們對車輛結構中可回收材料的回收越來越感興趣,迫使 LFT 與單一材料結構(包括 LGFRP)一起使用。由於對滿足汽車行業標準的堅韌材料的需求不斷成長,並且為了減少製造對環境的影響,LFT 的採用預計在短期內將繼續增加。
長纖維熱塑性塑膠市場的地理展望
中國、日本、印度、韓國等主要經濟體在亞太地區佔據主導地位。一些成長最快的新興經濟體位於該地區,例如東南亞國協。在預測期內,該地區在長纖維熱塑性塑膠市場上佔據主導地位,因為預計該地區是多個國家的所在地,這些國家在對長纖維熱塑性塑膠的高需求的推動下形成了大規模的生產能力。
長纖維熱塑性塑膠的最大消費國是亞太地區。該市場的競爭對手包括中國、日本和韓國,它們在該地區長纖維熱塑性塑膠需求的成長中發揮關鍵作用。其中,按地區分類,中國預計將出現最大的成長。這是由於電動車市場的擴大以及對輕量材料的需求。
此外,該地區汽車及相關產業的中等收入群體不斷壯大,人均收入不斷上升。這推動了對採用長纖維熱塑性塑膠的消費品和耐用電器的需求。此外,機械工業的成長和該地區營商的便利性也推動了長纖維熱塑性塑膠市場的成長。因此,就市場佔有率和銷售成長率而言,亞太地區預計仍將是全球長纖維熱塑性塑膠市場最大的供應商。
The long fiber thermoplastics market is anticipated to register a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.47% during the projected period (2024-2029).
The long fiber thermoplastics market has been on the rise within the last few years this is majorly because of the enhancing demand from numerous segments. This growth is attributed to the numerous benefits of LFTs. They possess mechanical properties such as high strength, durability, toughness, and endurance to fatigue, as well as relatively low weight compared to metal or conventional thermoplastics. The market is also forecasted to grow due to the evolving understanding of some features of FRT resins. For instance, lightweight, durability, flexibility, high strength, and heat resistance will fuel the demand for various types of LFTs in the foreseeable future.
The homopolymer segment is expected to be the fastest-growing polypropylene type during the forecast period. Polypropylene homopolymer is considered the most basic grade of polypropylene resin, containing only a propylene monomer in a linear structure. It controls the largest share of the global market as it grows at the highest rate compared to other types of polypropylene. This growth is due to the increased uses of Homopolymer polypropylene across end-user applications, including building and construction, packaging, electrical & electronics, medical, automotive, and others. Non-covalently bonded polypropylene homopolymer can have many of the following advantages: High tensile strength, low moisture resistance and resistance to staining and various chemical solvents, including acids and alkalis. Due to the above properties, it becomes ideal to be used in a wide range of uses, such as prosthetic and orthotic devices, secondary containment, pumps, and storage tanks.
Another factor that contributes to the growth of this particular segment is the rising need for lightweight, durable, and inexpensive materials in automotive applications. This is because the proportion of homopolymer polypropylene depends on the consumption of automotive applications tailored to its lightweight characteristics to enhance fuel economy in vehicles. Furthermore, the increase in the utilization of polypropylene across packaging sectors, especially for food and beverages, is also anticipated to fuel the polymer type, especially in the homopolymer segment during the forecast period.
The growing application of long fiber thermoplastics (LFTs) in automotive production is driven by their unique combination of properties, including high strength, low weight, and resistance to creep and warpage.
A typical requirement for LFTs is the increased application of metals in structural and semi-structural features, including door modules, front-end modules, instrument panels, and underbody shields, because when they are implemented, they offer remarkable weight optimization together with savings on fuel. The increased demand for small, lightweight, and narrowly framed cars and commercial vehicles also contributes to the observed trend of increased use of LFTs, particularly since they create possibilities for designing and manufacturing strong but lightweight components. A rise in curiosity in the recovery of recyclable material in the automotive structure, particularly in Europe, compelled the utilization of LFTs with mono-material construction, including LGFRP. The adoption of LFTs is projected to remain on the rise in the foreseeable future because of the increasing demand for sturdy materials that meet automotive sector standards and the reduced effects of manufacturing on the environment.
LONG FIBER THERMOPLASTICS MARKET GEOGRAPHICAL OUTLOOK
The major economies like China, Japan, India, and South Korea dominate the Asia-Pacific region. Some of the fastest-growing emerging economies are from this region, such as ASEAN countries. This region is expected to dominate the long-fiber thermoplastics market during the forecast period owing to being the home of several countries, as mentioned above, constituting significant production capacities driven by the high demand for long-fiber thermoplastics.
Due to its growing opportunities, the Asia-Pacific region anticipates being the largest consumer of long-fiber thermoplastics during the forecast period. Competitors within the market are China, Japan, and South Korea, which have played a critical role in boosting the demand for LFTs in the region. Herein, China is anticipated to demonstrate the greatest regional increases. This is due to the expanding electric vehicle market and demand for lightweight automotive materials.
Furthermore, the region's automotive segments and related industries enjoy a large and growing middle-income populace and escalating per capita income. This gives way to a growing demand for consumer goods and durable household appliances incorporating long fiber thermoplastics. Moreover, mechanical industry growth and a business-friendly environment in the region also add to the long fiber thermoplastics market's growth. Therefore, the Asia-Pacific is expected to remain the largest supplier in the global long fiber thermoplastics market, pertaining to the market share and the sales growth rate for the forecast years.
