Fiber Reinforced Concrete Market by Material (Glass Fibers, Natural Fibers, Steel Fibers), Technology (Hybrid FRC, Premixed FRC), Applications, End-users - Global Forecast 2024-2030

The Fiber Reinforced Concrete Market size was estimated at USD 2.10 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 2.23 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 6.69% to reach USD 3.31 billion by 2030.

Fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) is a specialized form of concrete that enhances its structural integrity by incorporating discrete, small fibers into the concrete mix. These fibers can be made from steel, glass, synthetic polymers, or natural materials like coconut fibers. The primary function of these fibers is to increase the concrete's resistance to cracking, improve its structural durability, and enhance its tensile strength. The fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) market is poised for rapid growth, driven by the increasing demand for durable and resilient construction materials. The superior crack resistance, strength, and longevity offered by FRC make it an appealing choice for infrastructure projects, including roads, bridges, and buildings. Despite its advantages, the high cost associated with its adoption can deter stakeholders from investing in FRC for construction projects. However, technological advancements in fiber materials and concrete compositions offer avenues for innovation, potentially lowering costs and enhancing performance characteristics. The shift towards green building materials and the increasing regulatory push for sustainable construction practices create a conducive environment for the future growth of the fiber reinforced concrete market.
