Glass wool is the largest type segment in the global fiberglass market
Glass wool is a material made from fiberglass arranged using a binder. It is used for insulation, as the air trapped between the glass wool provides high thermal insulation properties to the material. The material may be in the form of rolls or slabs and has thermal and acoustic insulation properties. It is lightweight, has high tensile strength, and exceptional resilience.
Composites is the largest application segment in the global fiberglass market
Fiberglass composites are versatile, lightweight, and cost effective. Among all fibers, glass fibers are used in the composites industry as these are the oldest and, by far, the most common reinforcement materials in a majority of the applications. The major subapplications of composites are construction & infrastructure and automotive.
The most common type of glass fibers are E-Glass, S-Glass, and ER-Glass fibers. For example, electrical and electronics applications generally use E-Glass fiber reinforcement due to their electrical insulation properties. Applications that require higher tensile modulus use S-Glass fibers.
Asia Pacific fiberglass market is projected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period
The Asia Pacific was the largest market for fiberglass in 2016, and is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Several companies have established their manufacturing units in the Asia Pacific region, owing to the availability of cheap labor, quality infrastructure, and growing business environment. In addition, easy availability of raw materials and high investments in applications such as construction & infrastructure, automotive, and wind energy, among others, are expected to drive the growth of the market in the region.
