Dublin, July 02, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Low Density SMC Market Report: Trends, Forecast and Competitive Analysis" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global low density SMC market is expected to grow with a CAGR of 8.4% from 2019 to 2024.

The future of the global low density SMC (Sheet Molded Compound) market looks promising with opportunities in various automotive applications, such as hoods, deck lids, fenders, bumpers, and body panels. The major drivers for this market are growth in automotive production and increasing use of lightweight materials in different automotive applications.

An emerging trend, which has a direct impact on the dynamics of the low density SMC industry, includes the development of ultra low density SMC.

The report forecasts that the hood will remain the largest application by value and volume and it is also expected to witness the highest growth over the forecast period due to increasing demand for lightweight and non-corrosive materials.

Within this market, glass and carbon fiber are the major reinforcement materials. Glass fiber based low density SMC will remain the largest segment by value and volume. Carbon fiber based low density SMC is expected to witness the highest growth over the forecast period supported by its higher mechanical performance.

Europe will remain the largest region by value and volume and it is also expected to witness the highest growth over the forecast period due to higher acceptance level of composites materials and growth in automotive application.

Some of the low density SMC companies profiled in this report include Polynt, Continental Structural Plastics, Core Molding Technology, Menzolit, and IDI Composites and others.
