According to our analysts at TMR, the value of the global glass fibers market was envisaged to be at US$8.50 bn in 2014. Over the duration of forecast, from 2016 to 2024, the market is anticipated to rise at a 7.5% CAGR. By 2024, the global market is expected to reach a valuation of US$17.44 bn.
The application segment of building and construction will largely contribute to the rise of the global glass fibers market over the forecast period. With a 7.6% CAGR, this application segment is expected to show unprecedented potential in the coming years. This could be attributed to the boom in population in emerging regions, especially Asia Pacific, leading to surge in demand for residential as well as commercial space.
Geographically, Asia Pacific was evaluated to account for roughly 48% of the overall market share in 2014. With its escalating population pool, Asia Pacific is expected to emerge as the swiftest regional market in the global glass fibers market, with its burgeoning construction industry.
Rising Application Scope of Glass Fiber to Provide Lucrative Opportunity
The potential for the global glass fibers market lies in the expanded application extent of fiber glass. They are broadly utilized as a part of the automotive industry in new parts as they prompt lower tooling cost when contrasted with customary materials, for example, metals. Also, the material is utilized as a part of an assortment of other application industry, for example, hardware, aviation, energy and purchaser industry. Different substantial organizations are reliably enhancing new products which would build the application extent of glass fibers.
Furthermore, the expanded spotlight on energy preservation in the construction industry, has prompted higher accentuation on usage of glass fibers as they give unrivaled protection properties at an ostensible cost. These are key factors which could prompt sellers profiting by the market opportunity, energizing market growth.
Dire Need for Alternate Energy Sources to Augment Product Demand
In the wind energy sector, glass fiber composites are utilized as a part of cutting edges and nacelles. Edges speak to the most essential composite based piece of a breeze turbine. Because of light weight, a large portion of the breeze turbines are built at any rate somewhat from glass fiber composites. As of late, wind turbines are equipped for changing over an awesome measure of energy in the breeze into power. Along these lines, the breeze industry has turned into an essential glass fiber composite material end-client market and is predicted to aid the market growth in the coming years.
