PFRP = poly-fiber reinforced plastic (stronger and more flexible than regular fiberglass)
CFRP = carbon-fiber reinforced plastic (very strong and lightweight. Used on the Carrera GT chassis and engine mounts)

they should make all kits out of the material that's use for oem bumpers.

if urethane is painted correctly (with flex agents) it should be hard for it to flake off. You will be able to bend it to a greater degree without spiderwebing.

No market, you want to pay thousands of dollars for a bumper? It's not the actual production that is expensive, it's the tooling, machinery, and materials that add up. For a small company that sells maybe 20-100 bumpers of one style in one year, it doesn't make sense too invest that much money.

Oh and just for reference, Ferrari bumpers are made of FRP.
