Regarding the product category, the steel fibers segment exceed USD 940 million by 2032, owing to the benefits of steel fibers in minimizing the repair & maintenance costs, surface permeability, dusting, and water usage. Given their increased toughness, tensile strength, and impact resistance, steel concrete fibers act as crack arresters and provide tough and durable surfaces for buildings.
The growing preference for concrete fibers due to these characteristics in conjunction with the growing number of constructions across the globe will fuel the market growth. For instance, the global construction industry is predicted to reach USD 15.2 trillion in 2030 from USD 10.7 trillion in 2020. The expanding construction industry is set to be the growth engine for the concrete fiber market over the coming years.
The concrete fibers market from the pavement application amassed over USD 260 million in 2022 and is projected to depict around 9% CAGR between 2023 and 2032. The segment growth can be credited to the noticeable rise in infrastructure investments and the increasing utilization of fiber-reinforced concrete in road construction projects. Concrete fibers substantially improve material properties such as ductility, fatigue strength, flexural strength, toughness, and impact resistance. These attributes will propel the demand for concrete fibers for pavement applications.
The industrial & commercial infrastructure segment surpassed USD 770 million in 2022 and is forecast to showcase 10% growth rate through 2032. The booming industrial sector and the rising demand for robust and long-lasting commercial establishments, such as mining and metro tunnels, offices, airports, etc., are anticipated to boost the demand for concrete additives.
Asia Pacific concrete fibers market valuation to cross USD 1.7 billion by 2032. The regional growth is backed by the flourishing construction sector across countries such as Japan, China, and South Korea. China, which was the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic, has been experiencing considerable growth in the infrastructure sector owing to various stimulus efforts by the government. Between 2021 and 2022, infrastructure projects were on the rise; however, over the coming years, the country is expected to experience significant investments in non-residential and real estate segments. These factors are most likely to augment the growth of the concrete fiber market.
In addition, the massive growth in mining activities, increasing infrastructure development projects in other countries, and supportive policy framework will positively influence the regional stastatics.
