Analyzing the Reinforced Plastics Market in the US
Reinforced plastic is a composite material made up of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibers. The reinforced plastics industry in the US generated significant economic activity in recent years. With time, a wide variety of reinforced plastic processes have evolved to facilitate efficient production of many different types of composites with different physical properties. Fiberglass is the most widely used reinforcement for plastics, with carbon the least used.
Most reinforcement materials are made of inorganic materials such as fiberglass, asbestos, and carbon and other high cost fibers. Cellulose is the major natural organic used as a reinforcement. Better growth is expected for reinforced thermoplastics based on their easier processing and better aesthetics. Thermoset resins are dominant because of their strength, low cost, corrosion resistance and other properties.
Niche opportunities are expected in areas such as rebar, bridge decking, utility poles and wind turbine blades. Glass fibers are anticipated to be the most dominant of all products throughout the coming decade.
Participants in the US reinforced plastics industry operate on a variety of levels, from producers and distributors of raw materials such as resins, additives and reinforcements, to plastic compounders and processors, to manufacturers of finished products.
