Se espera que el mercado de compuestos de fibras naturales crezca de 4.438,83 millones de dólares en 2022 a 6.910,46 millones de dólares en 2028; se estima que registrará una tasa compuesta anual del 7,7 % entre 2022 y 2028.
Los compuestos de fibras naturales son materiales compuestos con una matriz polimérica incrustada con fibras naturales de alta resistencia. Las fibras naturales se utilizan como componente de materiales compuestos, donde la orientación de las fibras afecta las propiedades. En los materiales compuestos, las fibras naturales a menudo se refieren a fibras vegetales extraídas de biomasa lignocelulósica, como fibras de madera y otras fibras vegetales del tallo, hojas, frutos y semillas.
La demanda de compuestos reforzados con fibras (fibras de vidrio y carbono) es relativamente alta. Sin embargo, son caros y no son respetuosos con el medio ambiente. Estas fibras no son renovables ni reciclables. Muchos países de la Unión Europea y Asia han introducido regulaciones para la industria automotriz. Según la legislación de la Unión Europea aprobada en 2006, el 80% de los vehículos deberían reutilizarse o reciclarse; en la revisión de 2015, este porcentaje aumentó al 85%. Según una normativa japonesa de 2015, el 95% de los vehículos deberían reutilizarse o reciclarse. Además, inconvenientes como la alta densidad de la fibra, la escasa reciclabilidad y los riesgos de manipulación limitan el uso de compuestos de fibra de vidrio. Estos inconvenientes de los compuestos de fibra de vidrio aumentan la demanda de compuestos de fibra natural.
El mercado de compuestos de fibra natural está segmentado en cinco regiones principales: América del Norte, Europa, Asia Pacífico, Medio Oriente y Asia. África y el Sur y el Sur. Centroamérica. En 2022, Europa tuvo la mayor cuota de mercado y se estima que Asia Pacífico registrará la CAGR más alta durante el período previsto. La alta demanda de compuestos de fibras naturales por parte de las industrias de la automoción y la construcción favorece el crecimiento del mercado europeo de compuestos de fibras naturales. Además, Asia Pacífico, la región más poblada del mundo, alberga una de las industrias automotrices y de construcción de más rápido desarrollo. Este factor contribuye a la alta demanda de compuestos de fibras naturales en la región.

In 2022, Europe accounted for the largest share of the global natural fiber composites market. The natural fiber composites market growth in this region is attributed to the high use of these materials in the automotive, aerospace, building & construction industries, among others. The construction sector in Europe has consistently expanded due to the rising population. Also, rapid shifts in the remodeling business trends, such as remodeling for accessibility, customizations, and technological integrations, are likely to fuel construction sector. All these factors led to the dominance of Europe region in 2022.
In 2022, the wood segment held the largest market share. Manufacturing wood fiber that is used to manufacture hardboard and insulation board is similar to that of MDF fiber. Wood contains polymers such as cellulose, lignin, and various hemicelluloses that have very different properties than synthetic polymers with which they are most often combined. Wood is stiffer, less expensive, and stronger than these synthetic polymers, making it a useful filler or reinforcement. These factors contribute to the dominance of the wood segment in the natural fiber composites market in 2022.
During the forecast period, the injection molding segment is expected to register highest CAGR. The injection molding process is a popular manufacturing method for mass production. Although the reinforcement fiber degrades during the process, high processability is a key factor that triggers the popularity of injection molding. Increasing demand for composite materials from automotive, hardware/apparatuses, medical, and bundling enterprises are driving the growth of the injection molding segment during the forecast period.
In 2022, the automotive segment held the largest market share. The rising demand for hybrid and electric vehicles has led to an increase in investments by automakers across the world. The flourishing automotive industry worldwide continues to be a key contributor to the growth of the natural fiber composites market. Natural fibers support the universal goal of the automotive industry to manufacture lightweight products with reduced fuel consumption and increased vehicle speeds, without compromising safety standards.
The primary advantage of natural fiber composites is that they are eco-friendly since they are low-cost, bio-based, sustainable, and reduce energy consumption. Natural fiber composites have drawn significant attention as alternative building materials, especially wood substitutes in developing countries. A high demand for sustainable and renewable composites from the automotive industry for the manufacturing of fuel-efficient, lightweight vehicles as well as rising adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) drives the natural fiber composites market.
