콘크리트 보강 섬유 시장 예측(-2030년) : 섬유 유형, 콘크리트 유형, 용도, 최종사용자, 지역별 세계 분석

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Concrete Reinforcing Fiber Market is accounted for $2.46 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $4.18 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period. Concrete reinforcing fiber is a composite material consisting of fibers such as steel, synthetic fibers, glass, or natural fibers, added to concrete to enhance its mechanical properties. These fibers improve tensile strength, crack resistance, impact resistance, and durability of concrete structures. Its usage contributes to the development of more resilient and sustainable infrastructure while offering cost-effective solutions for reinforced concrete construction.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2022, rise in authorization for the construction of homes accelerated via 1.4 % from June 2021 to June 2022.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Growing awareness about sustainable construction

CRF helps reduce the carbon footprint and energy consumption in construction compared to traditional reinforcement methods. Its use aligns with sustainability goals by enhancing the durability and longevity of concrete structures, reducing the need for frequent repairs or replacements. As sustainability becomes a priority for developers, contractors, and governments worldwide, the demand for CRF is expected to rise, propelling the growth of the concrete reinforcing fiber market.

Restraint:

Compatibility issues

Compatibility issues in concrete reinforcing fiber arise from challenges in achieving optimal dispersion within different concrete mixes, particularly those with specific additives or requirements. These issues hinder uniform distribution of fibers, affecting the overall performance and structural integrity of the concrete. Consequently, it leads to concerns about the reliability and consistency of reinforced concrete structures, deterring widespread adoption in the construction industry.

Opportunity:

Increasing infrastructure development

Increasing infrastructure development worldwide drives the demand for Concrete Reinforcing Fiber due to its efficacy in enhancing the durability and strength of concrete structures. With rising investments in projects like roads, bridges, tunnels, and buildings, there is a corresponding need for materials that can withstand the rigors of heavy usage and adverse environmental conditions. CRF offers superior crack resistance, impact resistance, and durability compared to traditional reinforcement methods like steel rebar, making it a preferred choice for modern infrastructure projects.

Threat:

Quality control challenges

Quality control challenges in ensuring proper dispersion and distribution of fibers within the concrete matrix can undermine the reliability and performance of reinforced concrete structures. Inconsistent dispersion or inadequate mix design can compromise the structural integrity, leading to concerns about durability and safety. This undermines confidence in the effectiveness of concrete reinforcing fibers, potentially limiting their adoption in construction projects.

Covid-19 Impact

The covid-19 pandemic initially caused disruptions in the concrete reinforcing fiber market due to halted construction activities and supply chain interruptions. Lockdown measures and economic uncertainties led to project delays and cancellations, impacting the demand for construction materials. However, as economies gradually reopened and governments initiated infrastructure stimulus packages to revive economic growth, the market witnessed a rebound. Moreover, the increased focus on sustainable and resilient construction practices post-pandemic has further boosted the adoption of CRF in infrastructure projects.

The pre-blended segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The pre-blended segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. Pre-blended concrete reinforcing fiber solutions offer a convenient and efficient way to enhance the performance of concrete structures. By evenly dispersing fibers throughout the concrete matrix, pre-blended solutions improve crack resistance, impact resistance, and overall durability. They are widely used across various sectors, offering contractors and engineers a reliable method to optimize concrete performance while streamlining construction processes.

The transportation infrastructure segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The transportation infrastructure segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR growth during the forecast period. In transportation infrastructure, concrete reinforcing fibers play a vital role in enhancing the durability and longevity key structures. These fibers improve tensile strength, reduce cracking, and enhance resistance to wear and tear caused by heavy traffic and environmental factors. By reinforcing concrete in transportation projects, such fibers contribute to the overall safety and longevity of infrastructure, reducing maintenance needs and ensuring smoother and more resilient transportation networks.

Region with largest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period due to rapid urbanization, industrialization, and infrastructure development initiatives. Countries like China, India, and Southeast Asian nations are witnessing a surge in construction activities, driving the demand for reinforced concrete materials. Additionally, stringent regulations promoting sustainable construction practices and the adoption of high-performance materials further propel market growth.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period. The region's aging infrastructure necessitates renovation and replacement projects, driving demand for reinforced concrete materials. Additionally, stringent building codes and regulations emphasizing the use of durable and sustainable construction materials contribute to market growth. Moreover, the increasing adoption of advanced construction technologies and materials, coupled with growing investments in infrastructure projects, further boost the demand for concrete reinforcing fibers.

Key Developments:

In May 2022, Sika, a major producer of concrete, opened a new 42,600 square foot facility in Stafford, Virginia to produce concrete admixtures. The facility has two mixers that can each hold over 6,000 gallons, and can produce 50,000 tons of concrete annually. The new facility is the second-largest Sika concrete admixtures manufacturing plant in the United States.

In October 2021, Jogani Reinforcement launched polyfiber 3S new generation concrete and construction fiber for durable and crack free infrastructure in India. These microscopic reinforcement poly-fibre 3S are incomparable as it adds tensile reinforcement and offers better ductility of the mortar or concrete.
