Glass Fiber Market Insights
Global glass fiber market size was valued at USD 20.9 billion in 2022 and is poised to grow from USD 22.01 billion in 2023 to USD 32.27 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5.3% in the forecast period (2024-2031).
Extremely fine fibers of glass are used to make glass fiber materials and products. These fine fibers are woven into mats or cloths and then impregnated with resin to create some of the most durable and high-strength materials known to man. Fiber glass materials also feature excellent heat and corrosion resistance, which also increases their application scope across different industry verticals. Growing automotive manufacturing activity and a rising number of construction projects being launched around the world also create attractive opportunities for glass fiber suppliers across the forecast period. High demand for lightweight and durable materials in different industries is also estimated to bolster sales of glass fiber in the long run. Glass fibers are also eco-friendly and thus the growing focus on sustainability is also slated to bolster market development in the future.
