2030 年天然纖維複合材料 (NFC) 市場預測:按原料、纖維類型、聚合物、技術、用途和地區進行的全球分析Natural Fiber Composites Market Forecasts to 2030 - Global Analysis By Raw Material, Fiber Type, Polymer, Technology, Application and By Geography |
據Stratistics MRC預測,2023年全球天然纖維複合材料(NFC)市場規模將達到3.2823億美元,預測期內年複合成長率為7.3%,預計到2030年將達到5.3749億美元。
天然纖維複合材料是植物來源纖維和聚合物基體的組合。由於纖維。與替代方案相比,它既可以降低密度,又可以節省成本。 NFC 具有較長的保存期限並且對生態有益。此外,NFC重量輕,因此可用於汽車、電子產品、體育用品、家具等。這些纖維具有優異的抗斷裂性、強度、剛度以及隔熱和隔音性能。
根據2015年日本法規,95%的汽車應重複使用或回收。
天然纖維比纖維或金屬纖維更便宜、更環保。具有優良的減震性能。體育用品和電子設備是兩個有吸引力的業務類別。天然纖維複合材料用於製造各種產品,包括滑雪板、網球拍、自行車、框架以及筆記型電腦和行動電話的外殼。由於其可生物分解、經濟實惠、重量輕、耐損壞、強度高,被廣泛應用於電氣產品和運動器材,帶動市場需求。
天然纖維在變質和收縮之前可以承受高達 2,000 度C的溫度,這使得天然纖維複合材料的性能不如其他材料製成的複合材料。由於它對其他材料沒有黏合強度,因此只能在某些情況下使用。由於熱品質有限,難以應用大規模生產技術,這阻礙了市場的拓展。
由天然纖維製成的複合材料廣泛可用且可再生。天然纖維和聚丙烯和聚乙烯等熱塑性材料都很容易回收。天然纖維比其他纖維纖維便宜、更環保,因此擴大使用天然纖維,特別是亞麻和大麻來代替玻璃和碳纖維。由於已開發國家當前和即將訂定的廢棄物管理法規,預計對公司解決廢物問題的需求將會增加。此外,政府廢棄物管理活動和回收意識的提高正在推動市場需求。
當使用韌皮纖維等天然纖維來增強聚合物複合材料時,濕度敏感性是一個主要問題。真菌導致這些纖維膨脹並開始分解。複合材料的力學性能發生變化。天然纖維吸收大量的水,這對纖維的強度、剛度和對疏水基質的粘附力有顯著影響。這會導致複合材料在潮濕環境中過早劣化。這一要素阻礙了市場的拓展。
儘管疫情給天然纖維複合材料市場帶來了一些障礙,但它也為發展和創新帶來了新的機遇,有助於提高永續材料在全球經濟中的知名度和重要性。許多公司被迫改進其製造方法,以應對不斷變化的市場動態。因此,生產天然纖維複合材料的新的有效技術被創造出來,有助於降低價格和增加產量。隨著越來越多的人認知到保護環境和減少廢棄物的重要性,永續永續性和循環經濟越來越受到關注。
亞麻行業預計將出現良好的成長。亞麻複合材料具有高吸收能力。它起到阻尼器的作用,不僅可以衰減聲波,還可以吸收震動。這些吸收特性使其成為特別有效的隔熱材料。此外,亞麻纖維也是一種永續資源。亞麻因其高拉伸強度、阻擋紫外線、吸收震動和高保水性等優點而成為該行業最常用的原料之一。
預計射出成型領域在預測期內將出現最快的年複合成長率。使用螺桿和外部熱源,材料在稱為“射出成型”的成型過程中熔化,並在冷卻時注入模具中以產生所需的結果。這是一種閉模成型技術,結合大體積和壓力來製造複合材料製品。此過程之後還有兩個步驟:預熱和加壓。該技術可重複、可靠且高效。
預計亞太地區在預測期內將佔據最大的市場佔有率。可支配收入的增加和生活品質的改善導致了該地區的巨大發展。中國是電子設備、汽車和體育用品的主要生產國之一。由於中國、印度和日本等國家建築活動的擴大,天然纖維增強複合材料在該地區越來越受歡迎。此外,由於各國政府的新政策和投資,亞太其他地區對天然纖維複合材料的需求在預測期內也將增加。
由於歐洲的日益普及和消費品需求的激增,預計歐洲在預測期內將呈現最高的年複合成長率。用於前後門線、行李箱線和行李架的天然聚合物基體的開發一直是歐洲汽車製造商深入研究的主題。德國是歐洲重要的大麻進口國,也是歐洲頂級汽車製造商之一。據估計,汽車行業對可生物分解和輕量化產品以提高車輛效率的需求日益成長,預計將刺激該地區的擴張。
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Natural Fiber Composites Market is accounted for $328.23 million in 2023 and is expected to reach $537.49 million by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 7.3% during the forecast period. Natural fibre composites combine plant-derived fibres with a polymeric matrix. Due to their attractive physical traits and chemical makeup, NFCs are a suitable replacement for glass fibre and carbon fibre. When compared to alternatives, they provide both a reduction in density and cost savings. They have a lengthy shelf life and are ecologically beneficial. Additionally, because NFCs are lightweight, they may be used in automotive, electrical, sporting goods, and furniture products. These fibres have excellent fracture resistance, strength, stiffness, and thermal and acoustic insulation properties.
According to a 2015 regulation in Japan, 95% of vehicles should be reused or recycled.
Natural fibers are less expensive and more environmentally friendly option to synthetic and metallic fibres. It performs well at dampening and absorbing shock. Sports equipment and electronics are two attractive business categories. Natural fibre composites are used to make a variety of goods, including snowboards, tennis rackets, bicycles, frames, and laptop and mobile phone covers. Due to its advantages, which include biodegradability, affordability, lightness, resistance to damage, and high strength, it is being used excessively in electrical and athletic products, which is driving up the market demand.
Natural fibres may withstand temperatures of up to 2,000°C before degrading and shrinking, and because of this, natural fibre composites perform less well than those made of other materials. Due to their lack of adhesion to other materials, they can only be used in certain situations. Due to its limitations in thermal qualities, it is difficult to apply mass production techniques, which hinders market expansion.
Composites made of natural fibres are widely available and renewable. Both natural fibres and thermoplastic materials like polypropylene and polyethylene are easily recyclable. As they are less expensive and more ecologically beneficial than other fibres, natural fibres, particularly flax and hemp, are being utilised more frequently in place of glass and carbon fibres. The demand on the businesses to solve the disposal issues is projected to intensify as a result of current and upcoming regulations pertaining to waste management in industrialised nations. Additionally, rising government waste management activities and awareness of recycling are boosting market demand.
Moisture sensitivity is the most primary concern when natural fibers, such as bast fibers, are used to reinforce polymer composites. Through fungi, these fibres enlarge and begin to degrade. The composite's mechanical characteristics are altered. Natural fibres absorb a lot of moisture, which severely affects their strength, stiffness, and ability to stick to the hydrophobic matrix. This causes the composite material to degrade prematurely in damp or humid settings. This factor inhibits market expansion.
The pandemic has posed several obstacles for the market for natural fibre composites, but it has also opened up fresh windows of opportunity for development and innovation and has contributed to raising the profile and significance of sustainable materials in the global economy. Numerous businesses have been compelled by the epidemic to enhance their manufacturing methods in order to cope with the shifting market dynamics. As a result, new and more effective techniques for creating natural fibre composites have been created, which may assist to lower prices and boost output. Due to the epidemic, sustainability and the circular economy are receiving increasing attention as more people understand how crucial it is to protect the environment and cut down on waste.
The flax segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. Flax composites have a high capacity for absorption. They operate as a damper, absorbing shocks in addition to dampening sound waves. It is a particularly effective thermal insulator due to these absorption qualities. Additionally, flax fibres are a sustainable resource. Flax is one of the most often used raw materials in the business because of its benefits, which include high tensile strength, ultraviolet rays blocking capabilities, vibration absorbent, and high water retention.
The injection molding segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period. With the use of a screw and an external heating source, the material is melted in the moulding process known as "injection moulding," which is then injected into a mould to create the desired result while the mould cools. It is a closed moulding technique that combines high volume and pressure to create composite items. Two more steps-preheating and pressurizing-follow this procedure. This technique has great reproducibility and dependability and is extremely effective.
Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period. Due to rising disposable income and a better quality of life, this region saw excellent development. China is one of the major producers of electronics, automobiles, and sporting goods. Natural fiber-reinforced composites are becoming more popular in the region as a result of expanding building activity in nations like China, India, and Japan. Additionally, the demand for natural fiber composites in the remaining parts of Asia-Pacific will also increase throughout the projected period as a result of new policies and investments made by various governments.
Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to its rising popularity and soaring consumer goods demand. The development of a natural polymer matrix for front and rear door lines, boot lines, and parcel shelves is the subject of intensive study by European automakers. Germany is a significant importer of hemp in Europe as well as one of the top automakers in the continent. According to estimates, the automobile industry's growing desire for biodegradable and lightweight goods to improve the vehicle's efficiency would fuel the expansion of the region.
