Reinforced plastics, also known as polymer matrix composites or composite plastics, refer to a specific plastic composition featuring embedded fibrous reinforcements, which render superior strength properties than those of the base resin. The industry encompasses a large number of small companies with unique skills and wide market orientations. Driven by its superior performance characteristics and design technologies, when compared to other traditional metal counterparts, reinforced plastics have found widespread utilization across various end-use applications.

Emergence of new end-use markets such as wind energy, sports, and medical/healthcare, are expected to open up new opportunities for players in the market. Technological advancements, and the resultant development of innovative products are critical for sustained growth in the market. The global reinforced plastics market is characterized by a high degree of fragmentation. The market continues to grapple with issues such as stringent environmental regulations, and high labor and transportation costs. However, relatively lower entry barriers have encouraged the establishment of several new players.

These and other market data and trends are presented in "Reinforced Plastics: A Global Market Report". Our reports are designed to be most comprehensive in geographic coverage and vertical market analyses...
