In 2021, Biocomposite production in Europe stood at roughly 436 thousand metric tonnes.
Biocomposites are made of natural fibers such as hemp, wood, paper industry waste, jute, and flax in the polymer matrix. Because of the greater use of natural fiber as reinforcement and the high cost of synthetic fibers, the market for bio-composites is expected to grow over the next several years. Additionally, rising demand in the automotive sector to increase the safety of passengers and reduce the weight of a vehicle is expected to increase the market demand.
Growing Demand from Building & Construction
In the building sector, biocomposites are increasingly employed for wall sheathing, roofing, and flooring. For the same price, these composites provide goods with more excellent durability than conventional wood or steel ones. Biocomposites may be produced with varying degrees of fire resistance in addition to their physical characteristics, making it feasible to utilize them as exterior cladding on buildings or even roofs without harming safety. In addition, biocomposites are also used in the restoration and renovation of various structural parts. Due to excellent thermal & auditory properties, they are also used as insulating & soundproof materials. Thus, the demand for biocomposites will likely grow globally during the forecast period.
Furthermore, concerning government rules regarding sustainable building materials, biocomposites play a vital role because they help to eliminate nonrenewable waste, reduce raw material utilization, cut fossil fuel consumption, and replace synthetic fiber-reinforced composites; all these factors driving the biocomposites market growth.
High Demand from the Transportation Segment
In addition, biocomposites are utilized in various automotive applications
Moreover, ongoing vehicle technological advancement and increasing focus on the use of more sustainable and environmentally friendly vehicles in the form of E-vehicles are raising the demand for bio-composites in the upcoming years.
Increasing Demand from Defence and Aerospace Sector
An unusual demand for bio-based products will result from the aerospace and defense industries' need for biocomposites. Currently, the usage of biocomposites is increasing in the aerospace industry to produce aircraft equipment, which necessitates cutting-edge composites that can maintain the product; all these factors are expected to increase the growth of the biocomposites market in the projected period.
