Fiberglass is a type of fiber-reinforced plastic used in reinforcement of fiber that is made from glass fiber. The fiberglass is made up of silica and less amount of oxides of calcium, magnesium, and boron. Fiberglass is a multifaceted fiber. It exhibits properties such as excellent strength, low weight, bendability, and dimensional stability. It is used with a hardener polyester.
Expansion of the construction industry is the primary factor that drives the growth of the fiberglass market. Significant increase in focus on infrastructure and road surface also boosts the growth of the market. Rise in demand for fiberglass in lightweight automobiles and aircraft is anticipated to drive the global fiberglass market growth. However, issues in the recycling of glass fiber hamper the growth of the market. In addition, environment & health related problems and volatile prices of raw materials are further anticipated to restrain the growth of the market. On the contrary, increase in trend of exchanging heavier metal components by lighter weight fiberglass provides numerous growth opportunities, thereby fueling the demand in the market.
The fiberglass market is segmented into type, application, end-user, and region. Based on type, the market is classified into S-glass, R-glass, D-glass, C-glass, E-CR glass, A-glass, and E-glass. Based on application, the market is divided into bathtubs, boats, aircraft, roofing, and others. By end-user, it is segmented into HVAC, automotive manufacturing, orthopedics, construction, sporting equipment manufacturing, and telecommunications. Based on region, it is studied across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
