Topic: lightweight materials market segments

Lightweight materials, including polycarbonate, polyamide, Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP), and aluminum aid in reducing weight of vehicles, marine vessels, and aircraft among others, and thus improve fuel-efficiency by decreasing fuel consumption and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, thereby reducing environmental impact. Studies show that around 10.0% reduction in overall vehicle weight would lead to an increase in fuel efficiency of over 5.0%. Also, lightweight materials enable more flex...
