Market Introduction
Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) rebars are fatigue resistant, lightweight, have more tensile strength than steel, nonmagnetic, and noncorrosive. Governments of various North American countries and other large-scale infrastructure providers now recognize that FRP rebar is an affordable building material that can increase the lifespan of public facilities where corrosion can significantly impact the economy and the environment. The use of fiber reinforcement material has grown significantly due to the growth in corrosion caused by climate change.
Moreover, water treatment plants are subjected to continuous exposure to chloride content in water, causing steel corrosion. Corrosion-resistant FRP rebars are broadly used in water treatment plants, including potable water tanks, refinery reservoirs, sewage treatment facilities, acid ponds, and gold and salt mines. These products, unlike corroded reinforcement, prevent harmful materials from leaching into soil and groundwater. Moreover, highly durable FRP rebar with leakage control and crack control properties acts as ideal reinforcement for underwater applications. FRP rebars, specifically glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites, have become popular for replacing aluminum, stainless steel, and steel in water and wastewater applications. FRP rebars are used to reinforce underwater pipelines and waterside platforms' structural parts. Additionally, it has high tensile strength, making it applicable for marine or coastal concrete projects, such as constructing wharves, fending groins, diaphragm walls, or water purifying facilities.
Market Overview and Dynamics
The North America fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) rebars market is expected to grow from US$ 86.98 million in 2022 to US$ 158.56 million by 2028; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.5% from 2022 to 2028.
Concrete is typically strengthened to create a building material that is strong in tension and compression. This reinforcement conventionally consists of steel due to its low cost, high strength, and high elasticity. However, steel corrosion could cost governments of various North American countries and asset owners billions of dollars in maintenance costs to replace or repair aging infrastructure. Numerous tiny continuous fibers are mixed into a polymeric resin matrix to form FRP rebars. The fundamental feature of FRP rebar, which has been created for usage in various structural applications, is that they are a non-corrodible substitute for a steel reinforcing bar. The popularity of FRP rebars has increased in the construction industry. Additionally, it is easier to transport and handle. Hence, the demand for lightweight, high-strength, and noncorrosive rebars is increasing, which is driving the North America fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) rebars market growth.
Key Market Segments
Based on application, the market is segmented into highway bridge and construction, marine structures and waterfronts, water treatment plants, and others. In 2021, the highway bridge and construction segment held the largest share in the market. Increased government spending on infrastructure development projects such as highways has led to the dominance of the highway bridge and construction segment. For instance, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation, the value of federal construction spending on highway and street projects in the US increased to ~US$ 1.4 billion in 2021, while the previous year, it had amounted to US$ 1.1 billion.
