1. A fiber-reinforced material comprising:
fiber; and
a matrix material coating the fiber,
wherein the fiber is a fiber assembly,
wherein the fiber assembly is at least one selected from a group consisting of a woven fabric, a knit fabric and a non-woven fabric,
wherein the matrix material is a thermoplastic resin composition obtained by blending a polyolefin resin, a polyamide resin, and a modified elastomer having a reactive group that reacts with the polyamide resin,
wherein the modified elastomer is a maleic anhydride-modified ethylene-butene copolymer, and
wherein the thermoplastic resin composition has a continuous phase (A) containing the polyolefin resin, and
a dispersed phase (B) dispersed in the continuous phase (A) and containing the polyamide resin.
