The global continuous basalt fiber market size was valued at $173.7 million in 2020, and is expected to reach $473.4 million by 2030, with a CAGR of 10.3% from 2021 to 2030. Continuous basalt fiber is manufactured from basalt rock, by melting at 14000C. Continuous basalt fiber is a substitute to fiberglass and steel for reinforcing concrete. Basalt fiber is produced by washing, crushing, and melting basalt rock that is then drawn into continuous stand. Continuous basalt fiber can be used to produce finished and semi-finished products such as geogrids, roving, yarns, rebar, and chopped roving. Continuous basalt fiber is used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, defense, wind, and nuclear sectors.
Rise in adoption of continuous basalt fiber in industries such as automotive, aerospace, defense, and construction fuels the continuous basalt fiber market growth. In addition, increase in residential construction and dwelling activities globally acts as a key driving force of the global continuous basalt fiber market. For instance, the residential construction industry in the UK grew by 2.9% from 2015 to 2019. Moreover, the construction industry in the U.S. is expected to grow at a rate of 5%, and reach $1,428.5 billion by 2024. In addition, increase in disposal income of individuals and improvement in standard of living of people in developing countries are expected to boost growth of the market.
Moreover, increase in spending on home remodeling and retrofitting activities, which is expected to rise in demand for non-woven fabrics, and continuous basalt fiber, owing to features such as lightweight, flexible, and corrosion resistant, which drives growth of the continuous basalt fiber market. Rise in standard of living and disposable income of population is expected to increase demand for continuous basalt fiber products in electric vehicles, automotive, and aerospace industries, which fuels growth of the continuous basalt fiber market. For instance, disposable income of population in Brazil grew by 5.3% from 2017 to 2019.
However, fluctuations in raw material prices and difficulty in promotion of basalt fibers are anticipated restrain growth of the global market. Furthermore, growth in the wind energy market and rise in adoption of environmentally friendly & recyclable materials are anticipated to provides lucrative opportunities for growth of the global continuous basalt fiber market.
In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has shut-down production and sales of various products in the market, mainly owing to prolonged lockdown in major global countries including the U.S., Italy, and the UK. This has hampered growth of the continuous basalt fiber market significantly in last few months, and is expected to continue during the pandemic. Moreover, lockdowns have also led to a halt in construction activities, which hampered demand for the continuous basalt fiber market in 2020.
