Basalt Fiber Market Analysis:
Basalt fiber is a material made from extremely fine fibers of basalt, which is composed of mineral plagioclase, phyroxene, and olivine. Basalt fiber requires the melting of crushed and washed basalt rock at about 1,500°C (2,730°F). Basalt fiber is broadly used in military and civilian fields. Basalt fiber can be used to manufacture both high temperature and low temperature protective clothing. Basalt fiber is used in various industries and applications, due to their feature for use in the construction & infrastructure industry, owing to its environmentally friendly features, high compatibility with concrete, and easy mixing at high concentration. Furthermore, it possesses high strength and recyclability, which fuels its demand across various industry verticals. It does not require special processing equipment.
COVID-19 scenario analysis
The outbreak of coronavirus resulted in loss of more than $200 billion in the Asia-Pacific economies. COVID-19 has drastically affected the growth of the basalt fiber market.
Asia-Pacific region is the most active and largest market for basalt fiber, with presence of large number of manufacturers with high production capacity. However, due to decline in production, the growth of the construction industry has been hampered, which, in turn, has limited the demand for basalt fiber.
Top impacting factors: market scenario analysis, trends, drivers, and impact analysis
The key drivers of the global basalt fiber market include rise in demand for construction activities across the globe; increase in demand for high-performance sealing products, tires, and tire glue; rapid development of the automotive sector in developing counties. In addition, increase in application of basalt fiber in water pollution control such as waste water treatment and natural water body purification are expected to foster the market growth.
However, availability of substitute product such as carbon fiber and glass fiber, which perform well in the market, significantly hampers the growth of the global market.
