About Natural Fiber Composites
Composites are materials that are made by combining two or more materials having different chemical and physical properties. The composites exhibit different and superior properties over the materials used. Natural fibers are derived from plants and animals. These fibers can be made into filaments, threads, or ropes. Natural fibers are used in polymer composites mainly due to their environment-friendly properties. The demand for NFCs is growing due to their formability, abundance, renewability, cost-effectiveness, and environment-friendly features.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global natural fiber composites market to grow at a CAGR of 11.33% during the period 2017-2021.
