Glass Fiber Yarn Market

Agreements/contracts, expansions, acquisitions, and new product developments are key strategies adopted by leading players in the glass fiber yarn market

Glass fiber yarns consist of a defined number of glass fiber filaments of a certain nominal diameter. Glass fiber filaments are obtained by high-temperature melting of inorganic materials which are drawn through a platinum-rhodium bushing and then rapidly cooled. Glass yarn is formed by combining more single filaments, between 4 to 13 microns depending on yarn count, in a continuous strand. Continuous strands of these filaments are woven, knitted, and braided to form other types of fabrics. Yarns have electrical insulation properties, high tensile strength, and are resistant to chemicals and heat.

The major drivers for the glass fiber yarn market include increasing consumption of glass fiber yarns in automotive and marine applications, extensive use of glass fiber yarn in construction industry, and increasing demand for PCBs made from glass fiber fabrics. Issues associated with glass fiber yarn recycling, and high production cost of glass fiber yarn can restrain the market from growing. Some of the opportunities for manufacturers include increasing demand for power generation from renewable sources, Increasing demand for glass fiber yarn in Middle East & Africa for construction and infrastructure, and increasing demand from wind energy sector in US. The major challenge faced by the manufacturers is capital-intensive production and complex manufacturing process of glass fiber yarn. The global glass fiber yarn market is estimated to be USD 2.5 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 3.5 billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 6.5% between 2022 and 2027.
