Stratview Research has launched a new report, titled Glass Mat Thermoplastic Market is Segmented by Application Type (Transportation [Bumper beam, Underbody system, Seating Structure, Interior Headliners, Load Floor/Parcel Shelf, and Others], Non-Transportation), by Material Type (Traditional GMT and Advanced GMT), and by Region (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World).

Covid-19 Impact Analysis:

Covid-19 has highly impacted the market dynamics, competition, and supply chain of almost all industries. The revenues have gone down in 2020 and are expected to resume an uptrend gradually from 2021 and continue to grow further. The report covers all the segments that were affected by the pandemic.

According to the report, The demand for GMTs is highly related to the production of automobiles and if any change in the production of vehicles usually has similar reflections in the demand for GMTs. The pandemic has brought forth several challenges before GMT manufacturers including supply-chain sabotage, reduced demand, huge COVID-related costs, and remote work affecting the efficiency, ultimately giving a huge burden on the balance sheet of the companies. However, the market stakeholders are started witnessing recovery from 2021 onwards with the recovery in automobile production. Overall, the GMT market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.9% during 2021-2026 to reach the figure of US$ 630.6 Million in 2026.

Market Segments’ Analysis

Based on the application type, the market is segmented as transportation and non-transportation. The transportation segment is further classified as bumper beam, underbody system, seating structure, interior headliners, load floor/parcel shelf, and others. Transportation is expected to remain the bigger demand generator for GMTs in terms of both value and volume during the forecast period. Benefits offered by glass mat thermoplastic, such as lightweight, recyclability, and ease of processing accompanied with rising government mandates towards higher fuel economy are the major growth drivers for the material in the transportation segment.

Based on the material type, the market is segmented as traditional GMT and advanced GMT. Traditional GMT is projected to be the leading segment of the market during the study period. Bumper beam and underbody system are two leading applications of traditional GMT. Interior headliners on the other hand in the key application of advanced GMTs.
