What Main Forces Are Fueling Expansion In The Synthetic Rope Market?
The growth of the synthetic rope market is projected to be driven by an increased consumer demand and consumption of fish products. Fish products encompass items crafted from various fish and their related components. The fishing industry favours synthetic ropes for their lightweight, user-friendly, and water-buoyant properties, which minimize wasted time and maximize efficiency. As an example, the Marine Management Organisation, a non-departmental public body in the UK, revealed in September 2023 that in 2022, 640 thousand tonnes of sea fish were landed by UK vessels, totaling £1.04 billion ($1.29 billion) in value, a noticeable increase compared to 2021. This significant increase in fish product demand and consumption is thus fuelling the synthetic rope market.
