Basalt Fiber Market

Market Leader - Basalt Fiber Market

Demand for non-corrosive products continues to increase in the construction industry as it helps to reduce the cost and increase the life of structure made using them. In order to increase the structural integrity and life of buildings and bridges, many developments in concrete technology are undergoing. The use of corrosion-free basalt fiber composite bars as reinforcement for concrete is one of these developments. Basalt composites are non-corrosive, consist of 80% fibers, and have a tensile strength three times that of the steel bar normally used in building construction. Non-corrosive basalt fiber rebars are made from high-strength basalt roving along with an extremely durable vinyl ester or epoxy resin with the combination of the pultrusion process and the in­line winding & coating process. The basalt fibers impart strength to the rebar while the resin holds the fibers firmly. In comparison to steel rebar, BFRP (basalt fiber reinforced plastic) rebar significantly improves the life of civil engineering structures where corrosion is a major factor. BFRP rebar can be a suitable alternative to steel reinforced rebar which is used for assembly and provide stability to the frame. Basalt fiber is expected to find applications largely in bridge deck and highway construction which also helps to reduce manpower and general engineering cost. It also helps in shortening the construction period and reducing maintenance cost.

The global basalt fiber market size is expected to grow from USD 286 million in 2022 to USD 517 billion by 2027, projecting a CAGR of 12.5% during the forecast period between 2022 and 2027.

The basalt fiber market is highly capital-intensive; therefore, the entry barriers are high. Existing players have a strong foothold in the market. Companies operating in the basalt fiber market have strengthened their position in the global basalt fiber market by adopting expansions, partnerships, agreements, new product/technology launches, joint ventures, contracts, and mergers & acquisitions from 2016-2022. However, the novel coronavirus pandemic has created ripples across the global construction & infrastructure, automotive & transportation, wind energy, electrical & electronics, matine, and many other end-use industries, affecting the global supply chains. These factors have affected the demand for basalt fiber in 2020.
