The fiberglass roving market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
•In recent times, the fiberglass roving market has seen significant growth. It is anticipated to rise from $9.53 billion in 2024 to $10.37 billion in 2025, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%.
Factors such as development in the construction and infrastructure sector, demand from the automotive industry, prevalent use in wind energy and marine manufacturing including boats, along with growth in aerospace applications, have contributed to the historical growth phase.
The fiberglass roving market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Expectations are high for the fiberglass roving market as it is predicted to experience robust growth in the forthcoming years. The market size is projected to reach a valuation of $14.44 billion by 2029, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%.
This anticipated growth during the forecast period is associated with factors such as the proliferation of renewable energy, lightweight trends within the transportation sector, the overhaul of infrastructure projects, advancements in composite manufacturing, and the rising demand for high-performance materials. Notable trends throughout the forecast period encompass applications within the marine industry, redevelopment of infrastructure projects, strategic partnerships among key market players, expansion of the market within the Asia-Pacific region, and customization catered to specific end-use scenarios.
The fiberglass roving market's growth is predicted to surge due to the increasing demand from the wind energy sector. This sector comprises activities related to the development, manufacture, construction, and maintenance of wind turbines and other power-generating devices that use wind. The use of fiberglass roving in the wind energy industry allows for the production of larger blades for the wind turbines, thereby enhancing their power output. This material is commonly used in constructing nacelles and wind turbine blades. For example, the International Energy Agency, a France-based intergovernmental organization, stated that, in July 2023, there was a 14% increase in wind electricity generation in 2022, amounting to an additional 265 TWh and surpassing 2,100 TWh in total. This elevation in wind energy production was the second greatest among all clean energy technologies. The rise in demand from the wind energy sector, therefore, stimulates the fiberglass roving market growth.
