Executive Summary
The construction segment accounts for the prominent share of the market, followed by the transportation and pipe and tank segments. Changing trends towards manufacturing of electric and hybrid vehicles across the globe, especially in developed and developing countries, are anticipated to spur the demand for glass fiber in the future. Rising investment in construction activities in the developing and least-developed countries is expected to drive the demand for glass fiber in these countries. Furthermore, the increasing population has led to an increased need for housing, which in turn is projected to bolster the glass fiber market during the forecast period. An increase in oil and gas exploration in Middle Eastern countries has also boosted the demand for glass fiber for manufacturing tanks and pipes utilized in the oil and gas, water treatment, and chemical industries.
Glass fiber manufacturing is the high-temperature conversion of various raw materials such as borosilicate into a homogeneous melt, followed by the fabrication of this melt into glass fibers. Glass wool, the pure form of glass fibers can be directly used for insulation or glass fiber can be reinforced with plastic resin to form composites. Roving accounts for the prominent share amongst the composite forms owing to its increased applications in the construction and automotive industries. Amongst all product types of glass fiber, glass wool holds the major share and strands are anticipated to grow at the highest rate over the forecast period.
By resin type, polyesters hold the major share, accounting for about one-third of the market, closely followed by epoxy. Vinyl esters are anticipated to gain traction during the forecast period. By glass type, the E-glass segment holds the major share of the glass fiber market.
The global glass fiber market is fairly consolidated, and the top players account for a small share of the market. The top manufacturers of glass fiber include Jushi Group Co., Ltd., Nippon Electric Glass Co., Ltd., Owens Corning, CPIC and others. The top 10 players account for around two-thirds of the total market, which is anticipated to grow due to increasing expansion activities among manufacturers with growing demand for glass fiber.
