Global Thermoplastic Composites Market Outlook

The global thermoplastic composites market size was approximately USD 18.85 billion in 2023. The market is assessed to grow at a CAGR of 5.7% between 2024 and 2032, reaching a value of around USD 31.34 billion by 2032.

 

Key Trends in the Market

Thermoplastic composite materials are materials made by combining different types of plastics and can be modified for use in a variety of applications. They possess characteristics such as lightweight, superior strength, and low processing cost, which makes them highly valuable in different sectors as an alternative to metals.

 

  • One of the major factors driving the thermoplastic composites market demand is constructive attributes such as low density, excellent durability, and superior environmental resistance of the material, which makes it preferable in various end-use sectors such as automotive, aerospace, and construction.
  • The recyclability of thermoplastic composites is another prominent trend aiding the thermoplastic composites market growth. These composites are easy to melt and mould as compared to thermoset composites and can be further reused and recycled to reduce waste and promote sustainability.
  • The surge in the incorporation of innovative production methods such as 3D modelling and computer-aided design (CAD), through which the composite parts can be designed in close collaboration with customers for increased precision, is favouring the thermoplastic composites market expansion.
  • The growing application of thermoplastic composites in the mobility and transportation sectors is propelling the market demand. For example, in July 2022, AIMPLAS, a plastics technology centre, collaborated with the Valencian Regional Government’s Ministry of Innovation, Universities, Science and Digital Society to develop the VETERIA21 project, which aims to employ thermoplastic compositions and replace metals in electric vehicle battery casings.
