Global Natural Fiber-reinforced Plastics Market: Overview
Natural fibers are highly popular among researchers due to their application in polymer composites, owing to their eco-friendly nature and sustainability. The increase in concerns related to environment, stringent environmental regulations, and unsustainable consumption of petroleum have led to use of naturally derived materials. In natural fiber-reinforced plastics, biodegradable material, which is fibrous in nature, is embedded in a matrix made of plastic. Plants such as cotton, jute, and bamboo can be used as fiber materials. Advantages of use of natural fibers as plastic reinforcement are attributable to their low density, renewability, biodegradability, non-toxicity, good insulation property, and machine wear. Natural fiber-containing composites are used in sectors such as transportation, (automobiles, railway coaches, and aerospace), military, and building & construction (ceiling paneling, partition boards) and in packaging and consumer products.

Global Natural Fiber-reinforced Plastics Market: Drivers
Demand for natural fiber-reinforced plastics is high in the engineering sector. Different types of natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites have received wide acceptance in the automotive sector by automotive manufacturers such as BMW, Audi Group, Ford, and Mercedes. Wood fibers are used to enclose the rear side of the seat backrest. High demand for cotton fibers that can be used as soundproofing materials propels the natural fiber-reinforced plastics market. Apart from the automobile industry, demand for natural fiber-reinforced plastics is high in sectors such as building & construction, sports, and aerospace. Increase in the demand for products with biodegradability, availability, cost-effectiveness, and low density is propelling the demand for natural fiber-reinforced plastics. However, requirement for chemical modification of natural fibers for improving the interfacial adhesion between fibers and the polymer matrix is likely to restrain the market during the forecast period, as the additional cost makes the process more expensive.
