The global sheet molding and bulk compound market size is expected to reach USD 5.90 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.39% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc.

Sheet molding compound (SMC) is widely used in transportation applications because of its excellent mechanics and lightweight nature. They have electrical insulation and are resistant to fire, corrosion, and stains. Traditional materials such as steel, iron, and aluminum are being supplanted by SMC and BMC due to their distinct perceived benefits. Automobile makers are probably going to rely less on steel and more on sheet molding compound (SMC) as the market for lightweight materials and solid compounds grows.

 

The report “Sheet Molding And Bulk Molding Compound Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Resin Type (Epoxy, Polyester), By Fiber Type (Glass Fiber, Carbon Fiber), By Application, By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2024 – 2030” is available now to Grand View Research customers and can also be purchased directly

 

In addition to the intrinsic limits of metals and their rising costs, a number of firms are substituting metal for thermoset composites in high-performance applications. This is helping to drive the expansion of the sheet molding compound (SMC) market. Many firms now favor lightweight materials because of the direct correlation between fuel usage and the weight of the materials used in manufacturing.

The market offers a lot of room for expansion and innovation, especially in the area of environmentally friendly and sustainable composites development. Global attention to sustainability and minimizing environmental effect has led to an increase in demand for recyclable or renewable materials. Producers are allocating resources to R&D in order to develop recyclable composites and bio-based resins that preserve the performance attributes of conventional SMC and BMC. Moreover, the growing utilization of these materials in developing sectors including infrastructure construction and renewable energy presents fresh opportunities for market participants to flourish.
