The AVK (Industrievereinigung Verstärkte Kunststoffe,
or German Federation of Reinforced Plastics, Frankfurt,
Germany), a member of the European Composites Industry
Assn. (EuCIA, Brussels, Belgium) as well as Composites
Germany (Berlin, Germany), has once again published its
annual glass fiber composites market analysis. The report
covers all glass-reinforced plastics (GRP, thermoset) as well
as short- and long-fiber reinforced thermoplastics (LFT).
According to AVK, the composites industry in Europe
is enjoying its fifth consecutive year of growth, and is
expected to continue to grow at a rate of about 2%, to an
estimated 1.12 million MT by year's end 2017 (see graph).
