At 3.1% CAGR, the Middle East & Africa Plastics for Composites Market is speculated to be worth US$ 1,074.63 million by 2028, says Business Market Insights

According to Business Market Insights’ research, the Middle East & Africa plastics for composites market was valued at US$ 897.15 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 1,074.63 million by 2028, registering a CAGR of 3.1% from 2022 to 2028. Budding demand for lightweight materials in aerospace and automotive industries and flourishment of erection industry are the critical factors attributed to the Middle East & Africa plastics for composites market expansion.

The replacement of petroleum-derived plastics’ matrices with bio-based matrices or resins, sourced from carbohydrates, vegetable fats and oils, starch, bacteria, and other biological materials is emerging as an important trend in the Middle East & Africa plastics for composites market. Bio-based polymer matrices are environmentally friendly and are the subject of extensive research in various fields. Bio-based matrices are eco-friendly and lightweight, and exhibit long-term sustainability, which drives their use in commercial applications. The easy availability of the natural raw material for the production of a bio-based resin is an added factor fueling its supply and demand. Bio-based matrices and biocomposites are employed in several secondary applications in aerospace, automobiles, packaging, electronics, and construction sectors. In the construction industry, biocomposites are generally used for the production of doors, windows, terrace decking, insulation material, and acoustic components. According to the report from the Global Alliance for Building and Construction, construction is one of the most harmful sectors to the environment. The findings of this study were presented at the COP25, Madrid, a UN conference on climate change. Conventional construction materials are highly resource- and energy-intensive. Hence, owing to the rising concern and awareness about the social and environmental impacts of conventional building materials, manufacturers of composites are shifting toward environment-friendly raw materials. This is expected to drive the Middle East & Africa plastics for composites market during the forecast period.
