Global Sheet Moulding Composites Market Overview
The Sheet Moulding Composites (SMC) Market was valued at approximately USD xxxx units in 2024 and is expected to reach USD xxxx units by 2035, registering a CAGR of xx% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2035. Market growth is driven by increasing demand for lightweight, high-strength, and corrosion-resistant materials across automotive, electrical, energy, and construction sectors.
Sheet moulding composites are fiber-reinforced thermoset materials offering excellent mechanical strength, dimensional stability, electrical insulation, and surface finish. Their ability to replace metals while reducing weight and improving design flexibility has accelerated adoption, particularly in automotive lightweighting and electrical infrastructure. Continuous advancements in resin systems, fiber architecture, and compression molding technologies further support market expansion.
Impact of COVID-19 on the Sheet Moulding Composites Market
The COVID-19 pandemic had a noticeable short-term impact on the SMC market in 2020 due to disruptions in automotive production, construction activity slowdowns, and supply chain interruptions. Demand declined significantly in automotive and industrial applications during lockdown periods. However, recovery gained momentum from 2021 onward, supported by resumption of vehicle manufacturing, renewed infrastructure investments, and growing demand for durable electrical and energy components. Post-pandemic strategies emphasize localized manufacturing, automation, and lightweight materials, reinforcing long-term market growth.
