Global Fiber-reinforced Polymer (FRP) Composites Market – Overview


Fiber-reinforced Polymer (FRP) is a composite material composed of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibers. The most common fibers used are glass, carbon, or aramid, although other fibers, such as paper, wood, or asbestos, have occasionally been utilized. Fibers and a polymer matrix are the two main building blocks of FRP composite materials. FRP enables the alignment of thermoplastics' glass fibers to meet specified design objectives. The strength and resistance to deformation of the polymer can be increased by specifying the orientation of the reinforcing fibers.

Global Fiber-reinforced Polymer (FRP) Composites Market – By Application

Based on application, the global fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) Composites market is segmented into automotive, construction, firefighting, electronics, defense, and others. The construction sector accounts for the largest market share, as these materials offer a wide range of applications in this industry. Fiber-reinforced polymers are prominently used as reinforcements in concrete structures and underwater piping to prevent corrosion and impact. The automotive industry also covers a substantial market share owing to expanding automobile production, particularly in China and India, as they are used for the production of low-cost and light automobile parts.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Global Fiber-reinforced Polymer (FRP) Composites Market

The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the growth of the global fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites market. The lockdown implemented by the governments of various economies to curb the spread of the virus halted the operations of the end user sectors, particularly in the construction and automobile industries. In addition, constraints on FRP composites' production processes and supply networks themselves resulted in a severe scarcity of supplies, even after the pandemic, forcing the producers to suffer significant losses. However, the market is projected to pick up its pace during the forecast period as industries resume their operations.
