Glass fiber reinforced polypropylene (FRPP/GFPP) has broad application prospects. Long glass fiber reinforced polypropylene is the mainstream product in the market.

Glass fiber reinforced polypropylene (FRPP/GFPP), the full name of glass fiber reinforced polypropylene, is a composite material composed of a polypropylene matrix and glass fiber reinforced materials. Glass fiber reinforced polypropylene has the advantages of good heat resistance, low density, lightweight, easy processing and molding, and corrosion resistance. It is widely used in aerospace, automobile manufacturing, electrical equipment and other fields.

​ ​According to the different lengths of glass fibers, glass fiber reinforced polypropylene can be divided into two categories: long glass fiber reinforced polypropylene (LGFPP) and short glass fiber reinforced polypropylene (SGFPP). The glass fiber length of long glass fiber reinforced polypropylene is 10 to 25 mm. It has the advantages of good dimensional stability, high impact strength, and good creep resistance. It can be used as an automotive module carrier material and is a mainstream product of glass fiber reinforced polypropylene. , the global long glass fiber reinforced polypropylene market will reach nearly 15 billion yuan in 2022; the glass fiber length of short glass fiber reinforced polypropylene is 0.2~0.6mm, which can replace metal materials and engineering plastics and be used to produce household appliances, daily necessities and Electronic products, etc.

According to the “2023-2028 China Glass Fiber Reinforced Polypropylene (FRPP/GFPP) Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center 》shows that glass fiber reinforced polypropylene, as a high-performance composite material, has broad application prospects in many fields, including aerospace, automobile manufacturing, electrical equipment, etc. In the field of aerospace, glass fiber reinforced polypropylene can be used to produce aircraft structural parts, including aircraft wings, aircraft hoods, etc.; in the field of automobile manufacturing, glass fiber reinforced polypropylene can be used to produce automobile parts, including automobile chassis and automobile engines. Covers and car body parts are the largest demand end in this field; in the field of electrical equipment, glass fiber reinforced polypropylene can be used to produce air conditioning fan blades.

Major players in the global glass fiber reinforced polypropylene market include Japan’s Asahi Kasei Co., Ltd. (AsahiKasei), South Korea’s Hanwha Total, the United States’ Ticona, Belgium’s Solvay, and Germany’s BASF AG Company (BASF), etc. Hanwha Total Petrochemical’s independently developed GH43 glass fiber reinforced polypropylene is widely used in automotive cooling fans and air conditioning fans.

The main manufacturers of glass fiber reinforced polypropylene in my country include China Guangdong Nuclear Technology, Nanjing Julong, Water Co., Ltd., Nayan New Materials, Changhai Co., Ltd., etc. China General Nuclear Technology focuses on the research and development, production and sales of modified polymer materials. It is a representative enterprise of glass fiber reinforced polypropylene in my country. It is currently actively promoting the production and construction project of annual output of 24,000 tons of long glass fiber reinforced polypropylene automotive structural materials.

Industry analysts said that glass fiber reinforced polypropylene, as a glass fiber reinforced composite material, has broad application prospects in many fields. Benefiting from technological progress, the development speed of the glass fiber reinforced polypropylene industry is accelerating. Long glass fiber reinforced polypropylene has excellent comprehensive properties and is a mainstream product in the glass fiber reinforced polypropylene market. In terms of market competition, my country’s glass fiber reinforced polypropylene industry is highly concentrated, with CGN as the leading company occupying a large share of the market.
