Market Overview:
The global glass and special synthetic fiber market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2018 to 2030. The market growth is attributed to the increasing demand for glass and special synthetic fibers in various applications such as aerospace and defense, wind energy, transportation, construction and infrastructure, protective clothing, and others. Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region during the forecast period owing to the growing demand for glass fibers in various end-use industries such as automotive, construction & infrastructure, electrical & electronics (E&E), textiles & apparel, among others.
Product Definition:
Glass is a hard, brittle material that is often transparent and has been used for thousands of years for windows, drinking glasses, and other objects.
Special synthetic fibers are made from materials such as glass or carbon. They are very strong and have many uses, including in armor, aircraft parts, ropes, and sports equipment.
Glass:
Glass is a brittle, transparent material that is made up of sand and other materials. It can be used in various forms such as bottles, containers, fiberglass etc. The most common type of glass used in the packaging industry is soda-lime glass which has been widely used for making bottles and jars over the past two thousand years.
It has high thermal shock resistance which makes it useful for manufacturing cookware and tableware items like goblets, wine glasses etc.
Carbon:
Carbon is one of the important raw materials used in glass and special synthetic fiber production. Carbon black, graphite, and other carbon-based products are also widely utilized across various industries including automotive & transportation, electrical & electronics, construction chemicals and others.
Carbon Black is a highly versatile industrial material that can be processed to produce fibers as well as numerous high-performance composites.
Application Insights:
The aerospace and defense application segment led the global market in 2017. The segment is projected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to increasing use of glass fibers and aramid fibers in aircraft manufacturing. Increasing use of composites has resulted in reduction of overall weight, which has increased fuel efficiency and reduced emissions.
Aramid fibers have excellent strength-to-weight ratio which makes them ideal for applications where high impact resistance is required such as armor suits for military personnel or protective clothing used by firefighters. They are also used extensively in ballistic resistant products such as helmets, bulletproof jackets, shields etcetera manufactured using composite materials derived from aramid fiber technology. These aforementioned factors are anticipated to drive product demand over the coming years thereby contributing toward revenue growth during this forecast period.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in terms of revenue in 2017. The region is expected to witness moderate growth over the forecast period owing to a decline in construction activities and slowdown in automotive production. However, growing demand for protective clothing and rising military expenditure are anticipated to drive the market growth over the forecast period.
Asia Pacific is projected to be one of the fastest-growing regions during the same period owing to rapid industrialization, increasing per capita income levels, expanding middle-class population base, improving infrastructure network and robust economic growth across key economies including China and India. These factors are likely boost product demand across various applications such as aerospace & defense; wind energy; transportation; protective clothing; construction & infrastructure; etc., which will further propel industry expansion over next eight years.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from the automotive and construction industries for glass and special synthetic fibers as a result of their lightweight, high-strength properties.
- Growing use of glass and special synthetic fibers in medical applications, such as implants and prosthetics, due to their biocompatibility.
- Rising demand for insulation materials made with glass and special synthetic fibers in order to reduce energy consumption.
- Increasing popularity of composite materials made with glass and special synthetic fibers in a variety of end-use applications.
