세계의 유리 매트 시장 예측(-2032년)

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Glass Mat Market is accounted for $1.4 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach $2.6 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 8.7% during the forecast period. Glass mat is a non-woven material made from fine glass fibers bound together using a resin or chemical binder. It serves as a reinforcement layer in composite materials, providing strength, dimensional stability, and resistance to cracking. Commonly used in roofing, automotive parts, and fiberglass products, glass mats enhance durability and surface finish. Their uniform structure allows for easy molding, making them ideal for both industrial and construction applications.

According to Glass Fibre Europe (industry association), European continuous-filament glass-fibre producers produce roughly 1,000,000 tonnes of melted glass annually.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Growing demand from the construction and infrastructure sectors

Expanding construction and infrastructure activity is increasing demand for glass mats used in composites, insulation, and reinforcement. Glass mats deliver strength, dimensional stability, and fire resistance, making them suitable for roofing, cladding, and precast panels. Government infrastructure programmes and private investment drive large procurement volumes, encouraging capacity additions and scale economies. Additionally, rising prefabrication and modular construction trends use composite panels where glass mats improve durability and reduce lifecycle maintenance.

Restraint:

Fluctuations in raw material prices

Volatility in costs for glass fibre feedstock, resin binders, and energy input raises production expenses and squeezes manufacturer margins. Rapid price swings for silica, chemical additives, or shipping force suppliers to revise pricing or absorb costs, reducing competitiveness. Smaller producers with limited hedging face greater exposure, while buyers may delay purchasing amid uncertainty. Unpredictable input costs complicate long-term contracts and capital planning, prompting manufacturers to focus on procurement strategies and selective product mix adjustments to protect profitability.

Opportunity:

Development of eco-friendly and recyclable glass mats

Rising regulatory pressure for sustainability and buyer demand for lower-impact materials create space for recyclable and eco-designed glass mats. Innovations in binder chemistries, recyclable resin systems, and improved process efficiencies reduce lifecycle environmental impacts and support circularity. Furthermore, certification for low-emission or recycled-content products helps suppliers win public tenders and premium private projects. Strategic partnerships between resin developers and mat manufacturers can accelerate market entry into higher-margin, sustainability-focused segments and broaden adoption in green building programs.

Threat:

Competition from low-cost producers in developing regions

The emergence of low-cost glass mat manufacturers intensifies price competition and compresses margins for established suppliers, especially in commodity-grade segments. These competitors leverage lower labour, input, and overhead costs to offer aggressive pricing that attracts cost-sensitive buyers, risking erosion of market share in mature markets. Additionally, perceived differences in quality and after-sales service may lead some purchasers to accept lower-cost options, forcing incumbents to emphasise product differentiation, technical support, and certification to retain premium customers.

Covid-19 Impact:

The pandemic disrupted supply chains, causing temporary factory shutdowns, logistics delays, and labour shortages that reduced glass mat output and delayed projects. Construction slowdowns in certain countries lowered immediate demand for composites and insulation products, while export restrictions constrained raw material flows. However, stimulus-driven infrastructure spending and renewed focus on resilient buildings supported recovery as projects resumed, prompting manufacturers to diversify suppliers, increase inventory buffers, and accelerate digital procurement to improve supply-chain resilience and shorten lead times.

The chopped strand mat (CSM) segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The chopped strand mat (CSM) segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period. CSM's versatility and cost-effectiveness underpin its position, supporting use across marine, automotive, construction, and roofing composites. Its ease of moulding, uniform strand distribution, and compatibility with a wide range of resins make it suitable for high-volume production. Manufacturers and fabricators favour CSM for panels and reinforcement where balanced mechanical properties and economical processing deliver consistent performance and attractive unit economics for both infrastructure projects and consumer applications.

The powder-bound mats segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Over the forecast period, the powder-bound mats segment is predicted to witness the highest growth rate. Technical advantages including stronger fibre bonding, reduced dust, and lower VOC profiles align with tighter environmental regulations and factory automation trends. OEMs focused on weight reduction and superior surface finish favour powder-bound solutions, and continued R&D plus scale efficiencies are lowering unit costs. These dynamics enable powder-bound mats to expand from niche high-performance applications into broader industrial and construction use cases.

Region with largest share:

During the forecast period, the Asia Pacific region is expected to hold the largest market share. Asia Pacific's leadership reflects extensive manufacturing capacity, large raw-material supply chains, and vigorous demand from construction and automotive sectors. Rapid urbanisation, major infrastructure programmes, and growth in composites production drive steady consumption of glass mats. Competitive local suppliers, integrated logistics, and cost advantages support regional production for both domestic and export markets, sustaining Asia Pacific's dominant position in global glass mat volumes and revenues.

Region with highest CAGR:

Over the forecast period, the Asia Pacific region is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR. Accelerating urbanisation, rising vehicle production, and government-backed infrastructure spending combine to drive strong regional growth. Increasing domestic composites manufacturing for automotive, wind energy, and construction supports growing glass mat demand, while foreign investment, joint ventures, and technology transfer strengthen local capabilities and product quality. Moreover, improving supply chains and rising per-capita construction activity will keep Asia Pacific as the fastest-growing market for glass mats.
