High Performance Fibers Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product (PBI, Carbon, Aramid), By Application (Aerospace & Defense, Construction & Building), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2022 - 2030

High Performance Fibers Market Growth & Trends

The global high performance fibers market size is expected to reach USD 25.32 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. High strength to weight ratio coupled with rigidity offered to the aerospace and automotive components by these fibers is projected to drive the market. Technologically, the key factor is the level of fiber properties that can be controlled in this product through modifications in polymer composition, the molecular weight of the polymer, ingredients choice, and method of fiber formation. However, from the business point of view, the critical factors are high manufacturing costs, initial investment, and limited monomer supply. The drive to increase fuel efficiency and aerodynamics performance of aircraft is encouraging the manufacturers to replace traditional metal alloys with composite materials in the manufacturing of primary and secondary parts of aircraft.

Also, the incorporation of these fibers in aerospace components offers excellent flexibility and damage resistance to the same. Strong regulations imposed by the various government bodies to reduce CO2 emissions are also among the key factors responsible for the high usage of lightweight materials in aerospace and automotive applications. These regulations are forcing OEMs to seek for alternatives to reduce emissions and increase fuel efficiency. The economic viability of ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete in pre-stressed concrete wind towers and other commercial buildings is being tested. The carbon-reinforced composites are also being made technologically advanced with the view of making them economically viable, which would result in reduced production cost and increased profit margin.
