Glass Mat Thermoplastic (GMT) Resins Market

Glass matt thermoplastic (GMT) resins have better mechanical properties than injection molding thermoplastics and exhibit better elastic strength and damage tolerance. Moreover, glass mat thermoplastic resins are considered as alternative to metals such as steel and aluminum, which has increased its utilization majorly in the automobile industry with applications in bumper beams, spare wheel well, seating structures, interior headliners, and so on.

Increase in consumer preference towards lightweight automobiles has increased the demand for glass matt thermoplastic resins. The raw materials used for processing glass mat thermoplastics are polypropylene, polyamide, and thermoplastic polyester. The demand for polypropylene has gained market attraction owing to its excellent low relative density and display of superior stiffness and hardness under elevated operating temperatures.

Furthermore, high productivity of both manufacturing and processing has increased the demand for advanced GMT technologies, which is anticipated to witness growth owing to the increase in application areas. Automobile applications have gained traction owing to the increase in demand for lightweight vehicles. In addition, increase in governmental investments coupled with development in glass matt thermoplastics is expected to raise its market demand in the aerospace & defense industry. Fluctuating prices associated with glass matt thermoplastic resin are expected to hamper the market growth. However, rapid industrialization is likely to drive the GMT market by creating new avenues of applications.

North America and Europe are major markets for GMT resins owing to the increase in demand for automobiles and investment in military & defense. Furthermore, growth in the electronic and electrical sector is anticipated to boost its market demand in Asia-Pacific countries such as China and Japan. In addition, rise in urbanization is anticipated to promote the growth of GMT resin in the LAMEA regions.
