Segment Insights on the Sheet Molding Compound Market:
The global Sheet Molding Compound Market is segmented end-use industry type, fiber type, resin type, density type & region

Based on the end-use industry type: The market is segmented as transportation, construction, consumer goods, electrical & electronics, and others. The transportation segment is further divided into light vehicles and MHCVs. Transportation is expected to remain the biggest demand generator for SMCs in terms of both value and volume during the forecast period. SMC is considered an ideal material for fabricating class-A body panels. SMC offers excellent part finish, excellent corrosion resistance, superior mechanical performance, and greater electrical insulation and heat resistance properties, addressing several market requirements. Furthermore, automakers can produce 150,000-200,000 parts per annum from SMCs, perfectly aligned with the 2-5-minute cycle time of the industry. Construction, another noticeable market for SMCs, is likely to be the fastest-growing market in the coming five years.

Based on the fiber type: The market is segmented as glass composites and other composites. Glass fiber remains the perennial choice of material for making SMCs in the foreseen future. Glass fiber offers numerous advantages over other fibers at the lowest cost, justifying its applicability in a large number of applications. All the major markets including transportation, construction, consumer goods, and electrical & electronics, extremely rely on glass fiber-reinforced SMCs. Carbon fiber, a lightweight material, is rapidly gaining market traction in the wake of its advantages suited to the industry-burning challenges. The material type is gaining more traction in Europe and North America, especially in electric and premium vehicles.
