Fiberglass Market : Rising Demand in Aerospace & Defense, Wind Energy, Automotive & Transportation | 2025
Fiberglass is produced by drawing fibers from molten glass. Different types of glasses include E-glass S-glass, ECR glass, C-glass and others. E-glass provides electrical insulation, S-glass provides high strength, ECR stands for electrical and chemical resistance, C-glass provides resistance to corrosion. Out of these, E-glass and S-glass is majorly used due to their properties. Several forms of fiber include strands, rovings, yarn, mats, and fabric. Rovings accounted for the major share with more than 40% in the global fiberglass market in terms of fiber type.Wind energy is the major driving factor for fiberglass market as it is used wind turbine blades. Carbon fiber is the major threat as it is a substitute for fiberglass as it is lighter in weight compared to fiberglass, however, it is far more expensive. North America accounts for major share with more than 30% in the global fiberglass market in terms of sales. This region is followed by Asia Pacific and Europe.
