FMI's Latest Market Report Notes Surging Demand for Fiberglass Reinforced Plastics through 2034. Discover What's Driving the Fiberglass Market Growth
NEWARK, Del., May 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The fiberglass market is poised for significant growth, with its value projected to increase from US$ 11,356.30 million in 2024 to US$ 19,028.50 million by 2034. This forecast corresponds to a CAGR of 5.30% over the period.
The fiberglass industry is being propelled by the increasing demand for lightweight and durable materials across various sectors, including automotive, construction, and aerospace. Fiberglass's exceptional strength-to-weight ratio makes it an ideal choice for manufacturers looking to reduce vehicle weight while maintaining structural integrity. Additionally, the construction industry's growing preference for fiberglass-reinforced products, such as panels, pipes, and insulation, is driving demand. Moreover, the rising need for renewable energy sources, particularly wind energy, has led to a surge in fiberglass consumption for manufacturing wind turbine blades.
Despite its promising growth prospects, the fiberglass industry faces several restraints. One significant restraint is the volatility of raw material prices, particularly the cost of resins and glass fibers. Fluctuations in raw material prices can significantly impact production costs and profit margins for fiberglass manufacturers. Moreover, stringent environmental regulations and concerns about emissions during the manufacturing process pose challenges to the industry. Additionally, competition from alternative materials, such as carbon fiber and aluminum, presents a threat to fiberglass market growth in certain applications.
