The long fiber thermoplastics market is driven by the increasing use of long fiber thermoplastic components in the automotive industry. Stringent regulations in the automotive industry pertaining to carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions that have adverse effects on the global climate have led to automobile manufacturers focusing on efficient, productive, and lightweight components which enable low fuel consumption. This has consequently resulted in the increasing usage of long fiber thermoplastics to replace metal components with lightweight components.

Polypropylene (PP) is expected to be the fastest-growing segment of the long fiber thermoplastic market, in terms of value and volume

Polypropylene is expected to be the fastest-growing segment of the long fiber thermoplastics market, segmented based on resin type, owing to the increasing use of PP resins in the automotive and consumer goods industries. PP resins have high chemical resistance, fatigue resistance, insulation, elasticity, transmissivity, and toughness. PP resins also have high resistance to electricity and are used along with glass or carbon fibers to manufacture electronic components.
