Key Factors Driving Polymer Matrix Composites Market Growth
The market is increasingly influenced by the drive to develop more sustainable and high-performance materials. Companies are focusing on solutions that not only improve the mechanical properties of composites but also adhere to circular economy principles and regulatory standards.

One notable example is the advancement of high-PCR (post-consumer recycled) polypropylene composites designed to maintain stiffness and impact resistance comparable to virgin materials. In June 2024, Borealis, an Austrian chemical firm, introduced Borcycle GD3600SY, a composite blending 65% PCR polypropylene with 30% glass fibers. This innovative material offers excellent stiffness and impact performance, making it suitable for demanding automotive interior components. The first application of this composite is seen in the center-console carriers for the Peugeot 3008, marking the first large-scale use of a 65%-PCR polypropylene composite in automotive interiors.
