Market Overview:
The global polycarbonate fiber market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for polycarbonate fibers from various end-use industries, such as automotive, building & construction, aerospace & defense, packaging, agriculture and others. Polycarbonate fibers are used in a wide range of applications owing to their properties such as high strength-to-weight ratio, thermal stability and chemical resistance. In addition, these fibers are also recyclable which makes them an environmentally friendly option for various applications. Based on type, the global polycarbonate fiber market is segmented into general type and hardening type. The general type segment dominates the global market with a share of more than 60%. This can be attributed to its widespread use in various end-use industries across different regions.
Product Definition:
A fiber composed of polycarbonate, a shatter-resistant plastic. Used for bulletproof vests and other safety gear.
General Type:
Polycarbonate Fiber (PCF) is a type of synthetic fiber that is made from carbon and plastic. It has superior properties such as high chemical resistance, high tensile strength, abrasion resistance and good heat stability. Polycarbonate fibers are used in various applications including apparel & home furnishing and industrial products like carpets & rugs, automotive interiors & exterior components and protective clothing among others. The global market for polycarbonate fiber was estimated at USD 4.
Hardening Type:
Hardening type is a process in which the polycarbonate fiber is heated and impregnated with an organic solvent to extract the plasticizer. The extracted plasticizer can be further processed to manufacture finished products.
The major applications of hardening type include injection molding, extrusion, blow molding and profile extrusion among others.
Application Insights:
Building and construction was the largest application segment in 2017, accounting for over 35% of the global market. The product is widely used in windows, skylights, roofing systems and a variety of other building components due to its lightweight properties. It is also used as an insulation material within buildings owing to its high thermal resistance property.
The automotive sector is expected to emerge as one of the fastest-growing segments over the forecast period on account of rising demand for polycarbonate fiber products from various automotive manufacturers globally.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific was the leading region and accounted for over 45% of the overall revenue in 2017. The growth is attributed to rising demand from end-use industries such as automotive, packaging, building & construction, and aerospace & defense. Rapid industrialization coupled with increasing per capita income in emerging economies including China and India are expected to fuel market growth over the forecast period.
Building & Construction is anticipated to register a significant CAGR during the forecast period owing to rapid urbanization resulting into increased need for residential spaces which has led to an increase in investments by various governments across countries such as China and India. In addition, government initiatives encouraging private participation are likely boost regional product demand over next eight years.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from the automotive industry for lightweight and fuel-efficient vehicles
- Growing demand for polycarbonate fiber in construction and infrastructure projects due to its high strength-to-weight ratio
- Rising use of polycarbonate fiber in consumer electronics due to its heat resistance and durability
- Increasing application of polycarbonate fiber in medical implants and prosthetics owing to its biocompatibility
- Growing popularity of polycarbonate fiber as a replacement for traditional materials such as metal, glass, and plastic
