Major Drivers in Fiberglass Market: 
  • Extensive Use of Fiberglass in the Construction Industry
  • Increased Use of Fiberglass Composites in the Automotive Industry
  • Cost-Effective Production of Fiberglass in Asia Pacific

Growth in the global construction industry drives the global fiberglass market
Fiberglass is increasingly utilized in structural engineering applications, owing to its exceptional properties, such as high stiffness, high tensile strength, low weight, and high chemical resistance. Structural engineering applications include strengthening structures made of concrete, steel, timber, and cast iron. Fiberglass is also used in retrofitting of old concrete structures to increase their load capacity and flexure. The use of composite materials results in the development of lightweight and low-maintenance bridges, with high load capacity and low installation costs.
Fiberglass is a common material used in the construction of decks. Fiberglass decking is increasingly utilized in residential applications to prevent splintering, rotting, and color fading. It enhances the durability and aesthetic value of structures as compared to traditional decking.
Glass fiber rebars are used in mining and in the construction of roads and buildings, owing to their superior properties, such as high strength, flexibility, and temperature and moisture resistance. Fiberglass rebar concrete structures have an average life span of 50–60 years, with low maintenance costs, as they provide resistance to corrosion and deicing salt action, thereby enabling concrete structures to withstand harsh climatic conditions. Several infrastructure projects in the US and Canada use fiberglass rebars as concrete structure reinforcements.
