Shift Towards Sustainable Materials and Carbon Neutrality Drives the Demand for Glass Fiber Reinforcements, Expected to Reach 8.4 million metric tons by 2030
A new report from Industry Experts Inc, on " Glass Fiber Market ," reveals that the global demand for glass fibers is projected to reach 8.4 million metric tons by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.7% between 2024 and 2030. In value terms, the market is expected to reach US$12.3 billion by 2030. The year 2023 marked an exceptionally challenging period for the global glass fiber and composites industry. Slower-than-expected demand growth across major application areas, compounded by the effects of earlier overexpansion, especially in China, caused inventory levels to spike. Smaller manufacturers, under financial strain, initiated aggressive price reductions, driving prices of standard products like direct yarn to historic lows. The glass fiber industry demonstrates both cyclical and growth characteristics. Traditional sectors like construction and industrial equipment show cyclic behavior, while emerging applications such as lightweight vehicles, 5G infrastructure, win...
