Top Companies Meeting the Increasing Demands from the Global Fibre Reinforced Polymer Market

Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, BASF SE, Aegion Corporation, Toray Industries, Inc., Celanese Corporation, Advanced Composites Inc., and SGL Carbon SE, among others, are the major players in the global market for fibre reinforced polymer.

As per the analysis by Expert Market Research, the global fibre reinforced polymer market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11% in the forecast period of 2022-2027, owing to the increasing demand for glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP).

Glass fibre reinforced polymers (GFRP) leads the market for fibre reinforced polymers. It has improved chemical corrosion resistance, which is highly helpful in a range of hostile conditions. Additionally, several composite manufacturing techniques can be used to make GFRP at a cost-effective rate. These factors are assisting the segment's growth, which is, in turn, boosting the market's overall growth.

Europe and North America account for a significant share of the market. GFRP is the dominant material in European nations due to its high flexibility and strength and has an increasing demand from the transport and construction sectors. It is expected that Asia Pacific will be a major region contributing to the fibre reinforced polymer market growth due to the increasing urbanisation and industrialisation.

Toray Industries Inc. announced in May 2021 that they had developed a high thermal conductivity technology that lifts the heat dissipating properties of carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) to that of metals. According to Toray, it made it feasible to ascertain the thickness and lamination locations of graphite sheets that are used to build thermal conduction channels. This made it possible to create a customisable thermal management design that regulates the heat diffusion and release channels for CFRP cooling efficiency.
