Global Short Glass Fiber Thermoplastic Market Growth 2026-2032
Description
The global Short Glass Fiber Thermoplastic market size is predicted to grow from US$ 3605 million in 2025 to US$ 5517 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2026 to 2032.
Global sales of short glass fiber thermoplastics reached 1.63 million tons in 2025, with an average price of US$2,249 per ton.
Short glass fiber thermoplastics (SFT) are granules produced by extruding and injection molding short, alkali-free glass fibers (10–40 wt%) with lengths of 0.2–0.6 mm, blended with thermoplastic resins such as PP, PA, PBT, and PC, as well as compatibilizers and antioxidants. The fibers are uniformly dispersed and have good flowability, allowing for the rapid molding of complex thin-walled parts on traditional injection molding machines.
Short glass fiber thermoplastic (SFT) raw materials consist of three parts: the matrix can be a general-purpose or engineering thermoplastic resin such as PP, PA, PBT, PC, PET, PPS, etc. (60–85 wt%); the reinforcing phase is short-cut alkali-free glass fiber (diameter 10–17 µm, length 0.5–8 mm, content 5–30 wt%) treated with a silane coupling agent; and the additive system includes PP-g-MAH or corresponding compatibilizers, antioxidants, lubricants, heat stabilizers, etc., with a total proportion of 3–7 wt%. All three components are granulated in a single process via twin-screw extrusion-injection molding.
In the cost structure, the matrix resin accounts for 45–65% (PA, PC, PPS prices increase in that order, with PP being the lowest), chopped glass fiber 30–40%, compatibilizers and additives 5–10%, and the remainder is energy consumption and equipment depreciation. Due to the low price of glass fiber and the mature technology, the cost per ton of SFT is significantly lower than that of thermoplastics made from long glass fiber or carbon fiber, making it an economical composite material widely used in the automotive, home appliance, and electronics industries.
