Lucintel predicts that the demand for SFT is likely to experience a good growth during the forecast period supported by growing demand in end-user industries. In short fiber thermoplastic composites market, fiber (glass fiber, carbon fiber) and resin (polyamide, polypropylene, and polybutylene terephthalate) are the major raw materials used for producing short fiber thermoplastic composites.

On the basis of comprehensive research, Lucintel forecasts that the transportation segment is expected to show above average growth during the forecast period. Within the short fiber thermoplastic composites market, the transportation segment is expected to remain the largest end use industry by both value and volume. Increasing government mandates for higher fuel economy, higher strength to weight ratio, recyclability, and ability to mold complex shapes are the major driving forces that spur growth for SFT in this segment over the forecast period.
 
Glass fiber is the most commonly used reinforcement material for SFTs and is expected to remain so over the forecast period. By resin type, polyamide based SFT is expected to remain the largest segment by both value and volume. Growing use of SFT in automotive under the hood applications is likely to drive the consumption of polyamide based SFT over the forecast period. 
 
Asia Pacific (including Rest of the World) is expected to remain the largest market and is expected to witness highest growth rate during the forecast period due to the anticipated growth in the end user industries and increasing focus on high performance thermoplastic composites.
