Fiberglass Roving Market - Forecast(2024 - 2030)

Report Code: CMR 60278 Report Format: PDF + Excel

Fiberglass Roving Market Overview 

Fiberglass roving market size is forecast to reach US$7.4 billion by 2027, after growing at a CAGR of 5.7% during 2022-2027. Fiberglass Roving is a distinct strand made up of a single bundle of continuous filaments. It is compatible with many resins like vinyl ester, phenolic resins, and epoxy resin, these resins enhance the chemistry of each strand of fiberglass, which supports the mechanical qualities and optimum processing. Also, the fiberglass rover has a lower minimum rollout and low resin consumption, which results in uniform laminate clarity and minimal weave distortion, which makes it critical for industrial application. The fiberglass roving market is primarily driven by the growth of the transport sector, which utilizes fiberglass roving as a fiberglass fabric to enhance the durability of the transport components. Moreover, the surging demand from the wind energy industry for fiberglass roving in the filament winding process is further propelling the growth of the fiberglass industry over the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact 

In the year 2020, due to the surge in the Covid-19 pandemic, countries all across the globe imposed stringent rules and regulations such as non-essential production activities were halted. As a result, the fiberglass roving market incurred losses because of a decline in passenger cars, aerospace, wind energy, and other industrial production. For instance, Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles (OICA), in the year 2019, the total passenger cars production was 67,163,769 units, and in 2020, it was 55,834,456 units, a decline of 16.91%. The decline in passenger cars production resulted in revenue losses for the fiberglass roving because in passenger cars fiberglass cloth is used to maintain the integrity of the composite in a hot and abrasive environment. However, in 2021, countries all across the globe eased the regulations to strengthen the production activities, owing to this the production output improved, and this benefited the fiberglass roving market growth. Also, in the upcoming years, the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic will end, this will result in the fiberglass industry growth scenario similar to the pre-Covid time.

Fiberglass Roving Market Drivers 

Increasing Wind Turbine Blade Manufacturing Facilities 

Fiberglass roving is used in the manufacture of wind turbine blades and nacelles in the wind energy industry. Wind turbine blades are critical for the wind energy industry. However, on the flip side higher blade weight is a problem for the wind energy sector because their manufacturing cost is higher as well as the maintenance cost of it is also high. Thus, the use of fiberglass roving is important for wind turbine blades manufacturing because fiberglass roving has a high strength-to-weight ratio, this results in the production of longer and more efficient rotor blades for larger wind turbines at a lower cost. The blade manufacturing industry is growing, for illustration, in October 2021, Siemens Gamesa, a global wind turbine manufacturer, invested US$200 million in Virginia to develop an offshore wind turbine blade manufacturing plant for wind energy projects, the construction of this manufacturing facility is anticipated to begin from 2022. Additionally, in September 2021, General Electric's (GE) blade manufacturing facility for wind energy in Teesside, UK got planning approval from the UK government; construction will begin in late December 2021 and be finished by 2023. Therefore, the surging wind turbine blade manufacturing facilities at the global level are expected to drive the growth of the fiberglass roving market. 

Surging Demand for Fiberglass Composites
