The Thermoplastic Composites Market Size was estimated at 26.42 (USD Billion) in 2022  The Thermoplastic Composites Industry is expected to grow from 27.79 (USD Billion) in 2023 to 43.8 (USD Billion) by 2032. The Thermoplastic Composites Market CAGR (growth rate) is expected to be around 5.19% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032).

The growing popularity of thermoplastic composites for manufacturing lightweight vehicle components propels the global market. The global penetration of electric vehicles, increasing applications of thermoplastic composites in various end-use industries and rising disposable income are key factors driving the global market growth. The use of thermoplastic composites in automobiles, transportation, construction, aerospace & defense, electronics, and other industries is increasing. Because of their excellent recyclable properties, thermoplastic composites are gaining popularity. Companies in the global thermoplastic composites market should accelerate product development and capitalize on revenue opportunities to gain a competitive advantage. Furthermore, market participants are broadening their service offerings to gain a competitive advantage. 

On a global scale, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced wind turbine manufacturers, automakers, and aircraft manufacturers to close their doors, reducing demand for composites in 2020. The pandemic impacted almost every aspect of the composites industry, from product demand to workforce development to the acceleration or deceleration of trends already in place when the pandemic struck. Customers and their temporary production halt all had a significant impact on production processes. However, by properly strategizing according to market needs, the Thermoplastic Composites Market is expected to recover from this global pandemic by the end of the third quarter of the following year.
