This growth is attributed to the high demand for NFCs in the construction and automotive industry, driven by the regulatory norms, and superior performance. Lightweight, high stiffness-to-weight ratio, consumer awareness regarding recyclable, and biodegradable materials, are advantages of the use of NFCs in the composites market.

Manufacturing process: Compression molding comprises a major share in the NFCs market 

Compression molding is the most widely used manufacturing process of NFCs. Automotive and construction industries are the key users of compression molded NFCs due to their benefits, such as cost effectiveness, high reproducibility, low cycle time, homogenous distribution of long fibers in  fleece, lesser wastage of raw material and lower tooling costs. Heavy and intricate complex parts with good surface finish can be made with the help of compression molding, which make it suitable in the construction industry. In the automotive industry, it is used to produce interior parts of automobiles with higher strength and stiffness.

Construction & Automotive industry is at the forefront and driving the NFCs market 

The demand for NFCs in the construction industry for outdoor deck floors, railings, fences, landscaping timbers, park benches, window and door frames, and indoor furniture has grown remarkably on the global platform. This is due to their superior strength-to weight ratio, recyclability, and low cost.  Further, NFCs are becoming popular and essential for making automotive components such as seatbacks, parcel shelves, boot linens, front and rear door linens, truck linens, and door-trim panels due to their lightweight and increased fuel efficiency.

North America accounts for a major market share of NFCs market 

The North America region accounts for the largest market of Natural Fiber Composites Market, globally, due to the high demand from the construction industry and regulatory norms requiring   the use of ecofriendly materials. Along with the existing capacities, several NFCs manufacturers are expanding their production capacities. According to the Department of Environment Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) report, almost 1.5 million vehicles included applications for natural fibers such as kenaf, jute, flax, hemp and sisal in combination with thermoplastic polymers such as polypropylene and polyester. The demand for NFCs in North America is projected to continuously increase in the near future on account of significant performance at lower prices of NFCs in automotive and construction applications driven by regulatory standards recommending the  use of lightweight and recyclable materials.
