Global Low
Profile Additives (LPA) Market is expected to reach USD 1,022.3
million by 2020, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc.
Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) implemented by the U.S. government for
improving fuel economy has been a key factor for market development. Metal
components are being replaced by lighter plastic parts which are expected to
play a vital role in affecting the dynamics of the LPA market. SMC and BMC are
expected to be used in a variety of automotive components thereby spurring LPA
demand over the forecast period.
SMC and BMC were the most dominant LPA application markets, with
demand estimated at 174.3 kilo tons in 2013, owing to improving automotive and
construction industry, particularly in Asia Pacific. LPA are extensively used
in the pultrusion process as they offer electrical insulation, corrosion
resistance and dimensional stability to the final product. This segment is
expected to witness significant growth in demand for LPA at an estimated CAGR
of 5.5% from 2014 to 2020.
