GLASS MAT REINFORCED THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITE MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

The global glass mat reinforced thermoplastic composite market size was estimated at USD 0.86 billion in 2024, set to expand to USD 1.05 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 2.4% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2033.

Glass Mat Reinforced Thermoplastic Composite (GMT) is a composite material composed of a reinforced thermoplastic matrix filled with glass fibres. It is used to improve the mechanical properties of thermoplastics and to reduce the weight of components. The glass fibers are coated with a thermoplastic matrix, which binds the fibers together and makes them resistant to environmental conditions. The composite material is lightweight and can be moulded into complex shapes with excellent strength. It is widely used in automotive, aerospace, and marine applications. Upsurge in fuel prices have prompted the need for vehicles that are fuel efficient. Thermoplastic composites are most commonly used as substitutes for aluminium, wood, and steel due to their higher strength-to-weight ratio.Glass mat reinforced thermoplastic composite are thermoplastic composites that are higher mechanically to injection-moulded reinforced thermoplastics.

They are used widely in aerospace & defence, automotive, sports belongings, and wind turbine blades. It has low density, improved protection, environmental resistance and better mechanical properties and they may be chemically uneven in terms of physical features. The use of glass mat reinforced thermoplastic has augmented speedily in the consumer goods industry mainly due to its comfort of recycling.
