Market Segmentation:

Global Biocomposite Market is segmented on the basis of fiber type, process, end use industries, and region. On the basis of fiber type, the market is divide into hemp, kenaf, flax, jute, and others. Among them, hemp fiber based Bicomposites are majorly used in the market owing to its growing application as a reinforcement in composites. Hemp can be easily blended with number of blending materials range from thermoplastics such as polypropylene and polyethylene to thermoset fiber such as polyester, which form a matrix phase in Biocomposites. The most common application of this blended hemp, which is compression molded includes, automotive substrates, furniture and other consumer products. The flax fiber is an important natural fiber used in formation of Biocomposites. This type of materials work well for applications, seeking a lighter weight alternative to other materials. Major applications of flax based Biocomposites can be found in automotive interior components and sports equipment. The jute based natural composite products are witnessing surge in demand due to its lower cost and wood like appearance. Jute based Bicomposites are majorly used in automotive as door panels, dash boards, and trunk liners.

Based on process, the Global Biocomposite Market is segmented into compression molding, injection molding, and others. Among these, the compression molding segment is growing at highest CAGR. This is attributed to the lowest cost of production offered by this process, compared with other methods such as transfer molding and injection molding. Moreover it wastes comparatively little material, adding to it’s an advantage when working with expensive compounds. Injection molding a manufacturing process for producing parts by injecting a material into a mold. The process is used to create many things such as packaging, automotive parts and components, some musical instruments (one-piece chairs and small tables, mechanical parts, and most other plastic products available today. Injection molding is the most common modern method of manufacturing plastics and other composite materials. In addition to this, this process is ideal for producing high volumes of the same object.

On the basis of end use industries, the market is divided into building & construction, automotive, consumer goods, and others. Building & construction industry is projected to consume a major share of the overall demand of Biocomposite. More than a quarter share of total demand of Biocomposite is accounted by building & construction industry. The developing countries in Asia Pacific, Africa, and Latin America are rapidly undertaking the infrastructural projects, which is posing as a major demand driver in the Global Biocomposite Market. Moreover, the initiative of reconstruction activities that are undertaken by developed countries is to further improve the existing physical infrastructures on the lines of sustainable development, would add into the growing demand of Biocomposite. Furthermore, the huge automobile industry spread all over the world is steadily driving the demand of Biocomposite forward.  The durability, flexibility, and recyclability of Biocomposite has made it the most preferred material in making consumer goods such as cupboards, decks, chairs, and table, among others. Moreover, growing sentiments in favor of environmental concerns due to persistent polluting materials such as plastic, may help push growth in demand of Bicomposites in a number of end use industries.
