Rising Demand for Concrete Fibers from Building & Construction Industry to Drive Market

The global concrete fibers market is primarily driven by advancements in the building & construction industry. The building & construction segment is estimated to account for a large share of the market. The segment is also anticipated to expand at a considerable growth rate during the forecast period. Steel and glass concrete fibers are primarily used in building and construction activities. Glass fibers are used for architectural cladding. Steel fibers are used to build various transportation infrastructures such as tunnels, bridges, and roads, as these provide higher strength as compared to other fibers. The construction industry in the U.S. is estimated to expand at a faster pace than that in China in the next 15 years. Construction is projected to rise in the southern states in the U.S.

Surge in Demand for Non-corrosive Materials to Drive the Concrete Fibers Market

Reinforced concrete is extensively used in various construction activities. Over two billion tons of reinforced concrete is produced annually across the globe. It has many advantages including lower cost, easy availability of raw materials, higher fire and weather resistance, and higher compressive strength as compared to wood. However, concrete lacks tensile strength and ductility. The global cost incurred due to corrosion of buildings is estimated at US$2.5 Trn annually. The estimated cost incurred to repair corroded infrastructure is US$ 300 Bn annually in the U.S. alone. Synthetic fibers, glass fibers, and steel fibers are used to combat corrosion. Corrosion is a prevalent issue across the globe, which can be overcome with the use of fiber reinforced concrete. Fibers help reduce crack widths within a concrete sample. These cracks cause deterioration of any concrete structure, as they prevent corrosive materials from reaching the rebar. These fibers improve other properties of the concrete such as its ability to induce strain hardening to the areas where the post cracking tensile stress is higher than the tensile strength. 

High Production and Operating Cost to Restrain the Market

Ductility of plain concrete is enhanced by adding fibers. These fibers improve the tensile and flexural strength and allow its use in structural elements with no passive or active reinforcement. Production of synthetic-based concrete fibers require advanced technology; therefore, its production cost is higher than that of traditional materials. Additionally, advanced technology is required to enhance the durability and to make concrete fibers lightweight, which is not met easily with the use of other materials such as conventional concrete. Concrete fibers can reduce construction time, labor, and material costs, and significantly decrease ongoing maintenance costs. High costs associated with concrete fibers are likely to limit its widespread use. This, in turn, is projected to hamper the market.
