Global Aramid Fiber Market - Segmented by Type, Applications, End-User Industry and Geography - Growth, Current Trends and Forecast (2022 - 2030)
The Global Aramid Fiber market is estimated at 2.66 billion in 2018 and is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period, 2018-2023.This growth is estimated due to its various uses in the field of automotive, aerospace and defense, fiber optic cables, marine, and others. One of the major growth for this market is increasing demand from countries, like China, United States, Russia, and India.
Increasing Investment in Defense Sector
The latest trend for Aramid Fiber is gaining momentum due to its high application in defense industry. The increase in investment by economies, like China, Japan, Saudi Arabia, France, US, Russia is expected to grow and increase their defense and aerospace budget owing to the resurgence of global security threats. Most of the governments around the world have already started to increase their defense budget to address the security threats. Also, it has ballistic protective applications, such as bulletproof vests, Protective gloves, motorcycle protective clothing, and hunting gaitors. It’s also used for manufacturing of fiber and electromechanical cables. Due to its high resistance to chemical and thermal degradation, it’s highly used in Automotive & Aerospace industries. Therefore, as demand from emerging economies will grow, market for aramid fiber will also increase.
High cost of production & investment in R&D is a major reason for its high price. Another factor restraining the growth of the market is the availability of low-cost substitutes, like glass fibers and carbon fibers. This has been acting as a hindrance to the growth of the aramid fiber market.
Industrial Applications around the Globe
On industrial ground Aramid Fibers are basically of two types, Para and Meta Aramid Fibers. Para-aramids provide unique combinations of toughness, extra high tenacity, modulus of elasticity, and exceptional thermal stability. Therefore, the end-uses of para-aramids cover a broad range of industrial, aerospace, military and civilian applications, which include ballistic apparel, hard armors, brake and transmission friction parts etc. Additionally, with a growing demand from industrial protective clothing, defense, protection, and safety sectors, the APAC region is the fastest growing area for the para-aramid fibers market.
However, because of excellent durable and heat resistance nature, meta-aramid fiber is expected to have high growth rate owing to the increased usage in making the suits of firefighters, military pilots, race car drivers, and firefighters face mask. Hence, market for aramid fiber will increase globally.
Growing Opportunities in United States of America
The United States is the world’s largest economy in the world, with a per capita income of USD 55,900 and advanced technologies. The aerospace industry is shifting more of its manufacturing investments to the United States after a decade. Therefore, this will increase the consumption of aramid fibers. The automotive production in the United States of America is expected to grow rapidly due to the growing population and rising income of the people. This growth in the automotive industry is expected to propel the demand for the aramid fibers during the forecast period. U.S. Electronic industry has many segments in manufacturing, hence there is a high demand for the newer and faster products, due to the rapid pace of innovation, technological advancements and R&D activities in the electronics industry too. This growing demand in US is expected to boost the demand for the aramid fibers in global market also.
