NEW YORK, April 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- "Need for security & protective measures drive the aramid fiber market"
The market size of aramid fiber is estimated to have been USD 2.99 billion in 2015 and is projected to reach USD 5.07 billion by 2021, registering a CAGR of 8.9% between 2016 and 2021. The market is largely driven by the increased demand from end-use industries.
