How is Rising Adoption of Environment-friendly Vehicles Driving Demand for CFRTP Composites?
As fuel efficiency depends upon the weight of a vehicle, there is increase in requirement for lightweight materials, which is anticipated to drive demand for CFRTP composites.
Electric vehicles (EVs) are environment-friendly and have been gaining a lot of traction in recent years. CFRTP composites have high strength and contribute significantly to vehicle weight reduction, and are extremely useful in the manufacture of EV parts.
Competitive Landscape
Major players with a prominent share in the market are focusing on expanding their customer base.
- In 2018, Lanxess AG announced a new thermoplastic specialty compounds facility in Krefeld-Uerdingen, Germany. This will increase the capacity of the facility by 10,000 metric tons per year. It will help the company cater to demand for polyamide-based compounds.
- In 2019, Polyone Corporation launched new thermoplastic composite products at CHINAPLAS 2019. It introduced Complet LFT formulations, which is a thermoplastic composite with PEEK and PP as a base resin, to meet highly demanding design and performance requirements.
