Aramid Fibers Market, By End-User Industry (Safety and Protection Equipment, Aerospace, Automotive, Electronics and Telecommunication, Other End-user Industries), By Product Type (Para-aramid, Meta-aramid), and By Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa, and South America)- Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022 - 2030
Aramid fibers are used in military applications, such as helmets and spall liners. In addition, aramid fibers are used to reinforce nonmilitary vehicles. Aramid fiber composites are lightweight and secure and can reduce the weight of shielded vehicles by 30 to 60 percent, compared to steel. These materials are also ideal for high-performance protective coatings, such as those that are used in pipelines. Aramid fibers are also used in clothing and other products that need high strength and high comfort. For example, these fibers are commonly used in bulletproof police vests and military ballistic-rated body armor. They are also used in cut-resistant gloves made by MCR Safety.
Market Dynamics:
The global aramid fibers market is expected to witness a rapid growth due to growing refurbishment activities and stringent government regulations for worker security. In addition, the market is likely to witness increased demand for lightweight materials from the automotive industry which is further projected to foster market growth. However, the development of new products in the aramid fibers market is hindered by the high R&D cost. Aramid fibers are a high-performance material used in composites and safety applications. As a result, they require a high level of R&D. The costs associated with R&D are high in terms of man-hours and materials. Furthermore, the technologically advanced manufacturing methods of these materials require high costs, which limits their market growth.
