The long fiber thermoplastics (LFT) market is witnessing robust growth due to the increasing demand for lightweight, high-strength materials in multiple industries. LFTs are composite materials made by reinforcing thermoplastic resins with long fibers, such as glass or carbon fibers, which provide superior mechanical strength, stiffness, and impact resistance compared to short fiber composites. Key features include excellent dimensional stability, enhanced fatigue resistance, recyclability, and the ability to be processed using conventional thermoplastic manufacturing methods such as injection molding and extrusion. These properties make LFTs ideal for applications requiring durability and weight reduction.

As per Stratview Research, The long fiber thermoplastics market was estimated at USD 1,057.7 million in 2021 and is likely to grow at a CAGR of 6% during 2022-2027 to reach USD 1,555.7 million in 2027.
