The market size of Natural Fiber Composites (NFCs) is projected to reach USD 6.50 Billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 11.68%, between 2016 and 2021. The increasing demand for NFCs by the end user players, growing manufacturing industries, continuous product innovation, agreements, and expansion activities undertaken by companies are key factors responsible for the growth of the NFCs market.
The automotive application is projected to be the fastest-growing segment in the NFCs market between 2016 and 2021. This can be attributed to the growing need for f lighter, safer, and fuel efficient vehicles. Many car companies, such as BMW (Germany), Audi (Germany), and GM (U.S.) are using non-wood fiber composites for designing interior and exterior parts of automotives. Further, the standards set by Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) on reduction vehicle weight to increase fuel efficiency would boost the NFCs market in automotive applications.
The wood-based NFCs are expected to be the fastest-growing raw material type in the NFCs market due to their high demand in the building and construction industry, globally. NFCs offer high weight-to-stiffness ratio and low cost compared to synthetic fiber composites. NFCs are extensively used for decking, railing, fencing, and internal furniture among other building and construction applications.
The North American region accounts for a major share of wood NFCs due to high demand for wood plastic composites in the construction industry. However, Asia-Pacific is expected to register the highest CAGR in the NFCs market between 2016 and 2021. This growth is driven by the rising demand for superior performance products in the construction industry, ease of availability of raw materials, and increasing capacity expansion by NFCs manufacturers & other development strategies in the region.
The NFCs market size is rapidly growing, in terms of value. . However, a few factors act as a tailback in its growth in the NFCs market. Relatively poor strength, fluctuation in the cost of natural fiber, and a lack of awareness among end users in developing regions are major restraints in the growth of the NFCs market.
The companies such as Trex Company Inc., Advanced Engineering Recycling Technologies (AERT), Fiberon LLC (U.S.), UPM Biocomposites (Finland), FlexForm Technologies (U.S.) are the dominant market players in NFCs market. They have been adopting various organic and inorganic growth strategies such as agreements, expansions, acquisitions, and new product launches & technology developments to enhance their share in the NFCs market.
