The glass fiber reinforced concrete market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.65 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing preference for sustainable construction, growth in commercial construction, infrastructure investments, development of ultra-high-performance GFRC, growing demand for lightweight and durable construction materials. Major trends in the forecast period include 3d printing technology, customization and personalization, thin and lightweight panels, advancements in manufacturing techniques, integration of fiber optics and lighting.

Increasing emphasis on green buildings is significantly driving the growth of the glass fiber-reinforced concrete market. Green building refers to the design, construction, and operation of structures that prioritize energy efficiency, resource conservation, sustainability, and environmental responsibility. Green buildings use glass fiber-reinforced concrete as a predominant option for sustainable construction. For example, according to the World Green Building Council, a US-based non-profit organization and global network of national Green Building Councils, by 2030, all new construction will have at least 40% less embodied carbon than existing structures, along with considerable upfront carbon reductions, and all new structures will have net zero operating carbon. Thus, significant emphasis on green buildings will invariably create huge demand for green fiber reinforced concrete and is expected to propel the growth of the glass fiber reinforced concrete market going forward.

The expanding construction industry is anticipated to fuel the growth of the glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) market in the future. The construction industry encompasses the commercial manufacturing and trade sector that focuses on developing, maintaining, and repairing infrastructure. As the construction sector expands, architects and designers are increasingly drawn to using GFRC for its architectural versatility, enabling them to create innovative and unique designs such as facades, cladding, and decorative elements. For example, in June 2024, data from the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based administrative branch of the United Kingdom Statistics Authority, indicated that construction output rose by 0.5%, driven by a 0.9% increase in new work and a 0.1% rise in repair and maintenance. Thus, the growth of the construction industry is propelling the GFRC market forward.

3D printing is emerging as a significant trend in the glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) market. Leading companies in the GFRC sector are focusing on developing and utilizing 3D printing technologies to enhance their market presence. For example, in October 2022, Branch Technology, a US-based construction technology company, introduced its BranchClad GFRC product line, which earned Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certification. This development underscores the company's dedication to sustainable construction practices by offering innovative 3D-printed cladding solutions that meet strict environmental standards. The new product line is designed to provide architects and builders with eco-friendly options that deliver both high performance and aesthetic appeal.

Major companies operating in the glass fiber reinforced concrete market are adopting strategic partnerships approach to provide glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) parts to individuals, businesses, and governments. Strategic partnerships refer to a process in which companies leverage each other's strengths and resources to achieve mutual benefits and success. For instance, in April 2023, Smart Engineering, a Spain-based engineering company, partnered with Econcretus, a Spain-based construction company responsible for manufacturing and installation of products. EConcretus and Smart Engineering have collaborated to design and manufacture the GFRC parts for the façade of the Diagonal 0 building in Barcelona. The unique feature of these parts is their optimized dimensions, considering the high service loads and the extensive variety of parts with varying dimensions.

In September 2023, Saint-Gobain, a France-based construction materials manufacturer, acquired Adfil NV for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is expected to strengthen Saint-Gobain's position in the construction chemicals market while helping to reduce the CO2 footprint of reinforced concrete. Adfil NV, based in Belgium, specializes in producing fibers for concrete reinforcement.

Glass fiber reinforced concrete refers to a composite material or plastic that has been strengthened with fibers consisting of tiny glass fibers such as fine sand, cement, polymer, water, other admixtures, and alkali-resistant (AR) fibers and is used to make structural concrete products that are both strong and lightweight, such as building panels, exterior building façade panels, and architectural precast concrete.

The main types of glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) are C30, C60, and C100. C30 GFRC is designed to withstand 30 Newton/28-day strength. C30 is a standard grade of concrete with secondary uses. It is recommended for the construction of load-bearing building structure members such as beams, foundations, columns as well as basements. The processes used for GFRC are spray, premix, and hybrid. GFRC is applied in commercial construction, residential construction, and civil and other infrastructure construction.
