Restraints:
Inconsistency in the properties of natural fibers is one of the major factors restraining market growth. The properties of natural fibers significantly vary from one harvesting season to another. Variations in physical properties affect variation in mechanical properties as well as when compared to synthetic fibers. Also, the properties of natural fibers depend majorly on the chemical composition of the soil, maturity of the plant, and harvesting and treating method of the fibers.
Another drawback of natural fibers is the high moisture sensitivity which poses challenge to using the material for packaging applications, primarily during shipment and long-term storage of food products. In addition, the hydrophilic nature of natural fibers leads to low microbial resistance and susceptibility to degradation.
Poor fiber-matrix adhesion is caused by the incompatibility of polymeric matrices and natural fibers. This poses a significant challenge to wider adoption of biocomposites. In addition, the mechanical properties of biocomposites are also affected by poor or insufficient bonding. Moreover, exposure to extreme temperatures affects the thermal stability of natural fibers. For instance, natural fibers shrink and degrade when temperatures exceed 200 degrees Celsius. This causes changes in the physical and chemical structure, requiring more processing time to improve fiber properties.
Growth Projections:
The global biocomposites market is expected to register a CAGR of 15.7% over the forecast period and revenue is projected to increase from USD 24.40 Billion in 2021 to USD 90.89 Billion in 2030. Rapid innovations in biocomposite products is driving market revenue growth. For instance, on 22 October 2021, Retrac Group, which is a U.K.-based leading composite, and metal manufacturing specialist in the automotive & aerospace industries, announced the launch of a new product range. The products include five sustainable or recycled composite material options and were designed to provide customers access to enhanced sustainability while maintaining high performance.
In addition, the products have been a significant part of the group's composites division's research and development program. Moreover, the collection includes a variety of recycled carbon fiber and natural fiber products that are suitable for a variety of applications in lightweight structures. While biocomposites have already proven to be successful in a variety of end-use industries, a global agreement has been reached on the negative impact of humans on global warming and the environment. This awareness sparked interest in more sustainable materials that can be processed with less energy, such as natural fiber composites.
