Applications of Natural Fiber Composites in Sporting Goods Applications Fuels South & Central America Natural Fiber Composites Market

Sports goods’ manufacturers are focused on innovative materials development and structural design engineering of hockey sticks, badminton and tennis racquets, golf clubs, skis, and other sporting goods. Natural fiber-reinforced composite materials have several properties such as lightweight, high strength, design flexibility, and easy processing and forming characteristics. Therefore, they have a broad range of applications in the sporting goods industry. Natural fiber composites’ manufacturers produce lightweight products for several sports applications. Composite material designed and developed for outdoor gear is expected to have properties such as high strength and lightweight and meet customer safety regulations.

Flax fiber composites have inherent dampening properties and vibration control that make them an optimum choice of material for sports products used in skiing, biking, tennis, golf, paddling, and badminton. In 2022, Babolat partnered with Eco-Technilin to develop flax fiber reinforced composites for application in high-performance sport goods. The flax fibers were incorporated into the structure of a tennis racquet range of Pure Aero racquets to offer vibration-reducing performance. In 2022, Hexcel Corporation launched HexPly Nature range of natural fiber composites made from natural fiber reinforcement and bio-derived resin suitable for winter sports applications. Therefore, the utilization of various natural fiber composites in sporting goods applications, owing to biodegradability and high-performance properties, is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the South & Central America natural fiber composites market during the forecast period.
