Thermoplastic Composite Market Demand Drivers Opening New Revenue Streams
The expansion within the construction industry is anticipated to fuel the growth of the thermoplastic composites market. The construction sector involves the planning, designing, and building of various structures, including buildings, infrastructure, and facilities. Thermoplastic composites are employed in the construction industry for crafting beams, columns, and panels, thereby enhancing structural integrity while simultaneously decreasing weight, which aids in easier transportation and assembly. For instance, in June 2023, data provided by the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, US-based government administrations, indicated that in May 2023, privately owned home starts were recorded at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1,631,000. This figure represented a 21.7% increase from the revised April 2023 prediction of 1,340,000 and a 5.7% rise compared to the May 2022 rate of 1,543,000. Furthermore, privately owned home completions in May 2023 stood at 1,518,000 on a seasonally adjusted yearly basis, reflecting an increase of 5.0% over the May 2022 rate of 1,446,000 and 9.5% above the revised April 2023 estimate of 1,386,000. Consequently, the uplift in the construction industry is expected to significantly contribute to the progression of the thermoplastic composites market.
