With the increasing concern due to the recyclability and biodegradability composites such as glass and carbon, natural fiber composites serves as perfect replacement. Attributing to added properties such as high durability, low density, lightweight and cost effectiveness, natural fiber composites have gained significant traction.
Natural fiber composites are reinforced matrices structure formed using natural fibers. Natural fiber such as coir, jute, bagasse, cotton, bamboo, hemp are used to manufacture high strength and stiff composite structures that can be used for various application. The natural fibers can be used to reinforce both thermosetting and thermoplastic matrices.
Natural fiber composites are relatively lighter and have more strength than conventional fibers and therefore find extensive application in automotive industry for interior and exterior application. In the construction industry natural fiber composites are used in applications such as railings, window frames and door panels.
Similarly natural fiber composites are also used for packaging and electrical industry. Natural fiber composites are manufactured using two methods—injection and compression moulding. Natural fiber composites are manufacture predominantly by compression moulding technique as compared to injection.
The natural fiber composites market is expected to witness a significant growth over the forecasted years owing to the rising environmental concern over the production and utilization of non-biodegradable synthetic fibers. Stringent regulation regarding non-biodegradable composites in regions such as Europe and North America have opened new opportunities for natural fiber composites materials in these regions.
With increasing demand for sustainable natural fibers composites in emerging economies for automotive, constructions and textile industry the outlook for natural fiber composites looks positive for the forecast years. Although the demand for natural fiber composites is increasing the market is restrained by the presence of semi synthetic fiber composites. Inherent properties of relatively high moisture absorption and limited chemical reactivity also hinder the growth of natural fiber composites market.
