Global Aluminum Silicate Fiber Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Aluminum silicate fibers are sometimes referred to as ceramic fibers and high temperature fibers.
They are made into nonwoven mats ranging in thicknesses from paper-like to blanket-like. Aluminum silicate fibers are capable of withstanding temperatures up to 1200 C. They can be made by several processes. Short whiskers (about 1 cm) are made by heating aluminum fluoride with silica at 1000-1200 C. Longer fibers are made from melted aluminum oxide-silica mixed with small amounts of Boron or Zirconia.
Aluminum silicate fibers are used for insulation, packing, smoke stack filters, gaskets, plastic reinforcement, and fireproof panels.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Aluminum Silicate Fiber market finds that the global Aluminum Silicate Fiber market reached a value of USD 1790.35 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 3159.0 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 9.93% during the forecast period.

Aluminum silicate fiber is a low thermal conductivity, excellent thermal stability and chemical stability, does not contain binder and corrosive substances. The Asia-Pacific region market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Wide range of downstream applications

High thermal stability, high-temperature tolerance, and the chemical resistance of aluminum silicate fiber will boost this market's growth in various end-user industries. its composite matrix or resin temperature can go as high as 1000°C, even in a corrosive and oxidizing environment.
The growing demand for aluminum silicate fiber in metallurgical and petrochemical industries to meet the insulation needs is the prominent driver for the growth of this market. Its use in kitchen utensils, buildings, and marine vessels for fireproofing has witnessed significant growth due to the fiber's bio persistence characteristics. The fiber is available in varied density. Its use in power generation, refining, packaging industries due to the low operational costs, fewer energy requirements, and high reliability will be a market booster.
Aluminum silicate fiber products, due to their high-temperature resistance, are being used in new applications, such as aerospace and alternative energy. The alternative energy applications include fuel cells, solar, geothermal, bio-fuels, and waste incinerators. aluminum silicate fiber, which is very strong and lightweight, is slowly revolutionizing the aerospace industry.
Aluminum silicate-fiber-reinforced composites are utilized in many different commercial products such as aircraft engine components (turbine combust, compressors, and exhaust nozzles), automotive and gas turbine elements, aerospace missiles, heat ex-changers, hot gas filters, rocket nozzles, gasket, and wrapping insulation.

Harmfulness of Aluminum Silicate Fiber

The main constraints hampering this market's growth are the effect of these fibers as an air pollutant and its impacts on the workers' health.
The conventional practice of making aluminum silicate fiber is to extrude aluminum silicate melted at very high temperatures through a set of fine holes, approximately 3 mm in diameter. Aluminum silicate fiber of less than 1ìm diameter is considered carcinogenic, and one finer than 3ìm diameter can get ingested into the lungs during the manufacturing process, which could cause serious respiratory diseases and severe skin irritation. As a fair proportion of the fibers manufactured by the conventional process have small diameters, there can be serious health hazards to those involved in their manufacturing and handling.
