Market Introduction
APAC region comprises several developing economies such as China, India, Japan, South Korea, Australia, among others. These emerging nations are witnessing an upsurge in the middle-class population, coupled with growth in urbanization, offering massive opportunities for the key market players in the glass fiber market. The Glass fiber industry in the countries of APAC has experienced a considerable shift over the years. The massive growth of the Asia-Pacific region is due to a manufacturing base in the emerging economies, such as India, Japan, China, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, and Indonesia have large manufacturing industries. Rising automotive sales in the APAC (APAC) countries, including India and China, has been one of the most encouraging growth factors for the glass fiber market in recent years. Increasing consumer spending power and improving lifestyle, mainly in India, China, Japan, and Indonesia, have triggered air traffic, which will boost demand for aircraft and positively impact the glass fiber market size during the forecast period. The APAC encompasses a massive number of opportunities for the growth of Glass fiber. The region has surfaced as one of the prominent markets for the utilization of Glass fiber. China and India are the major contributors for the market. The rising demand for Glass fiber in the APAC region has attracted the manufacturers to establish their presence in the region that has further fueled the demand for the glass fiber market in the APAC. This shift has fueled the growth of the market in the region. Rising expenditure towards innovations and development activities, to diversify the application base of Glass fiber has also led to market growth.
In case of COVID-19, APAC is highly affected specially India. The COVID-19 is anticipated to cause a significant economic loss in the APAC region. The consequence and impact can be even worse and totally depends on the spread of the virus. The governments of various APAC countries are taking possible steps to restrict the spread of the virus by announcing lockdown, which in turn has negatively impacted the revenue generated by the market. The Government have asked the chemical & materials manufacturers to delay their production which will adversely affect the global supply of glass fiber. Furthermore, travel bans imposed by countries in APAC region are affecting opportunities for business collaborations and partnerships. All of these factors are expected to have a negative impact on the chemical and materials industry, acting as a stifling factor for the growth of various markets related to this industry in the coming months.
Market Overview and Dynamics
The APAC glass fiber market is expected to grow from US$ 7,183.72 million in 2020 to US$ 9,819.62 million by 2027; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.6% from 2020 to 2027. Glass fibers are used for insulation, surface coating, cladding, and roofing raw material in the construction sector. They are inexpensive and possess mechanical properties such as stiffness, flexibility, transparency, resistance to chemical outbreak and inertness approximately equal to other fibers, including polymers and carbon fibers. Glass fibers are used in glass fiber reinforced concrete, which is utilized in the construction of walls, fireplace surrounds, foundations, cladding, vanity tops, and concrete countertops. It is mainly used in exterior building facade wall panels and as architectural precast concrete. Glass fibers act as the main carrier providing high tensile strength and making the concrete flexible and resistant to cracking. Alkali-resistant glass fibers (ARGF) are widely used in construction materials. ARGFs significantly improve the tensile strength, flexural toughness, modulus of rupture, and wearing resistance of concrete. Such concrete is used for crack prevention, thus, finds wide applications in the construction sector. Rapid development of the construction industry is expected to increase the demand for glass fibers. New construction of residential buildings in developing countries across APAC region is supporting the demand for glass fibers. For instance, strong economic growth of emerging markets, such as China and India, is resulting into robust infrastructural development. These countries are experiencing an increase in construction of new buildings; maintenance and repairs, remodeling, or renovating of existing structures; on-site assembly of precut; construction of temporary buildings; and installation of specialized building utilities such as elevators and escalators. All these factors are anticipated to create consistent demand for glass fibers in the construction industry across APAC region.
