The South & Central America hybrid composites market is expected to grow from US$ 44.33 million in 2023 to US$ 67.63 million by 2028. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 8.8% from 2023 to 2028.
Rise in Adoption of Biocomposites Fuels South & Central America Hybrid Composites Market
Bio-based polymer matrices are environment-friendly and are the subject of extensive research in various fields. Bio-based matrices are also lightweight and exhibit long-term sustainability, which drives their use in commercial applications. Further, the easy availability of natural raw materials to produce bio-based resin is 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 to produce 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 study conducted by the alliance at the end of 2019 stated that the construction sector is responsible for 39% of the carbon dioxide emissions dispersed in the environment, 36% of global energy consumption, and 50% of the extraction of raw materials. 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. Thus, the growing adoption of bio-based matrices or resins sourced from carbohydrates, vegetable fats and oils, starch, bacteria, and other biological materials, over petroleum-derived plastic matrices is expected to emerge as an important trend in the South & Central America Zhybrid composites market during the forecast period.
