According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Long Fiber Thermoplastics Market is accounted for $4.3 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $9.1 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 11.3% during the forecast period. Long Fiber Thermoplastics (LFT) are a type of composite material that combines thermoplastic polymers with long fibers, typically glass or carbon fibers. The process of creating LFT involves impregnating the long fibers with a molten thermoplastic resin, which is then cooled and solidified to form a solid composite structure. This manufacturing technique allows for a high degree of control over the distribution and orientation of the fibers within the thermoplastic matrix, resulting in materials with enhanced mechanical properties such as strength, stiffness, impact resistance, and dimensional stability.
According to International Energy Agency (IEA), in 2021 sales of EVs were the highest in China at 3.3 million.
