continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites Author: sunlu Company: QYResearch Center Date: 2017/4/28
Due to their properties, such as lightweight, stiffness, etc., continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites have become popular in many fields, such as automotive industry, aerospace, military, electronics and so on. Continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites are mainly made by thermoplastic resin and fiber reinforcement. Usually, PEEK, PP, PE, PET, PS can be chosen as resin matrix while carbon fiber, glass fiber, aramid fiber are preferred as fiber reinforcement. Continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites manufacturers are actively cooperating with their partners to promote their business. Although short fiber and long fiber thermoplastic composites account for the dominant place in the whole thermoplastic composites market, due to its own distinctive characteristics, continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites market has increasing fast in the recent years. Currently, continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites manufacturing primarily concentrate in Europe and USA as the advanced technology is mastered by companies from the two regions. In 2015, Europe and USA produced about 31536 MT and 27516 MT respectively and held a total market share of 62.30%. China has the highest production growth rate of 11.42% from 2011 to 2015. Even though a huge space for growth in the Chinese market exists, the quality and technology should be further improved. Although there are also some companies engaging in the production of continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites, when considering the technology and product performance, they still have obvious lap, compared with leading manufacturers, like Lanxess, Polystrand, etc. Although alternatives of continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites, such as short fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites, are the mainstream products at the moment, due to its own advantages and properties, continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites insiders are very optimistic on the future market. Market insiders think the market of continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites will keep growing fast during the period of 2016-2021 with the CAGR of
1
4.38%. Also, with each manufacturer’s dedicated to developing the continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites business, it is estimated that competition will become more fierce in the future with price declining trend.
