Market Overview:
The global glass-fiber fabric market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for glass-fiber fabrics from various end-use industries, such as electrical & electronics, marine, construction, transportation and others. In terms of type, the global glass-fiber fabric market is segmented into alkali-free glass fiber, medium-alkali glass fiber and high-alkali glass fiber. Among these types, the alkali free segment is projected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030.
Product Definition:
Glass-Fiber Fabric is a cloth made from very thin glass fibers, typically less than 0.005 inches in diameter. The fabric is woven or knit into a variety of fabrics for uses such as reinforcing plastics, insulation, and sound proofing. Glass-fiber fabrics are important because they are strong and lightweight, making them ideal for many applications where weight is a concern.
Alkali-free Glass Fiber:
Glass fibers are used in the production of glass wool, which is further processed to manufacture fabrics. Glass fiber can be categorized into three types based on its chemical properties: aluminosilicate, soda-lime and potash. Based on the type of raw material used for glass fiber production; it is also divided into specialty glass fibers and common or run-of-mill glass fibers.
Medium-alkali Glass Fiber:
Medium-alkali glass fiber is a type of glass fiber that contains elements such as sodium, potassium, and calcium. It has high tensile strength and flexural modulus. The product finds application in the manufacturing of fabrics for industrial insulation owing to its properties such as thermal stability, low thermal conductivity, heat resistance among others.
Application Insights:
The construction application segment led the global glass- fiber fabric market in 2017 and is projected to expand at a revenue-based CAGR of XX% over the forecast period. The product has emerged as an important component in the building & construction industry owing to its properties such as high tensile strength, chemical resistance, and good mechanical properties which make it suitable for use in buildings & structures.
The product is widely used for manufacturing geomembranes that are used extensively across various applications including dams, tunnels, aqueducts and bridges. It is also employed heavily during the production of reinforced concrete due to its superior characteristics such as high compressive strength ratio with low permeability which makes it ideal for use in bridge abutment or expansion joints on account of its excellent setty property when mixed with cement paste or grout fillers.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global glass-fiber market in terms of revenue with a share of over 40.0% in 2017. This is attributed to the presence of major players, technological advancements, and high demand from end-use industries such as electrical & electronics, construction, and transportation. The region is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to increasing investments by prominent players for research & development activities and new product launches.
Asia Pacific regional glass fiber market is anticipated to grow at a lucrative rate over the forecast period due to rapid industrialization along with growing infrastructure expenditure in countries such as China and India. In addition, favorable government policies aimed at promoting foreign direct investment are also likely boost industry expansion across this region during the forecast years from 2018 to 2030 (estimated). Moreover, rising disposable income levels will further propel industry growth during this timeframe (2018 - 2030).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from end-use industries such as construction, automotive, and aerospace due to its superior properties such as high strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance.
- Rising demand for lightweight materials in automotive sector to improve fuel efficiency.
- Growing popularity of glass fiber reinforced plastics (GFRP) in the construction industry as a replacement for traditional materials such as concrete and steel due to its light weight and high strength properties.
- Increasing investment in research & development by glass fiber fabric manufacturers to develop new products with improved performance characteristics.
