Based on fiber type, the E-glass segment in the fiberglass fabric market is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Based on fiber type, the E-glass fabric marketis expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. E-glass fabrics were initially developed for electrical wiring applications and gradually gained acceptance in various other major applications such as wind energy, marine, and electrical & electronics, among others. E-glass fibers are cost efficient and offer a wide range of beneficial properties such as corrosion resistance, lightweight, high electrical insulation, and are the majorly used fiber type in the manufacture of fiberglass fabrics.
Wind energy segment to lead the fiberglass fabric market, in terms of value and volume
Fiberglass fabrics are used to reinforce spar caps, webs, and shells of wind turbine rotor blades. From a power generation standpoint, fiberglass fabrics are lightweight and thus enable the production of longer blades for wind turbines. This helps in capturing more wind energy, leading to an increase in power output and provides economy due to the higher wind energy gained.
Asia Pacific is projected to be the largest market for fiberglass fabric
The Asia Pacific is the largest market for the fiberglass fabric due to the growing population and increasing industrialization in the region. Along with China, India and Japan are the major consumers of fiberglass fabric in the region for various applications. The region accounted for the largest wind power capacity of 203,643 MW in 2016. This is expected to drive the fiberglass fabrics market in the region, as leading wind blade manufacturers are increasingly using these fabrics as the major material for the manufacture of composites for wind turbines.
