LONDON, Sept. 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Background:
According to a new market report published by Lucintel, the future
of the glass mat thermoplastic (GMT) market looks good with
opportunities in the automotive industry. The global glass
thermoplastics market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% from
2016 to 2021. The major drivers for the growth of this market are
increasing use for lightweight materials, growing end-use
industries, recyclability, and ease of processing of GMT. In this
market, glass fiber is used as reinforcement and polypropylene
resin as matrix materials for producing glass mat thermoplastics.
Lucintel predicts that the demand for GMT is likely to experience a
good growth during the forecast period supported by growing demand
for lightweight materials in automotive industry.
On the basis of comprehensive research, Lucintel forecasts that the
automotive segment is expected to show above average growth during
the forecast period. Within the GMT market, the automotive segment
is expected to remain the largest end use industry by both value
and volume. Increasing government mandates for higher fuel economy,
recyclability, and ease of processing are the major driving forces
that spur growth for GMT in this segment over the forecast period.
Within the GMT market, the bumper beam has been the major
automotive application and is expected to remain the largest
automotive application over the forecast period.
By type of material advanced GMT is the most widely used material
due to its lighter weight compared to traditional GMT and is
expected to remain the largest segment by both value and volume
during the forecast period. Asia
Pacific (including Rest of the World) is expected to remain
the largest market and is expected to witness highest growth rate
during the forecast period largely due to the anticipated growth in
the end user industries and increasing focus on lightweight
thermoplastic composites. For market expansion, this report
suggests innovation, where the unique characteristics of GMT can be
capitalized. The report further suggests the development of
partnerships with customers to create win-win situations and
provide innovative solutions for the end use industries.
Emerging trends in the global GMT market which have a direct impact
