Concrete fiber market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR of 9.4% during the forecast period (2024-2031). Concrete fiber is made with fibrous components to improve its strength and structural integrity as well as to prevent cracks from drying shrinkage and plastic shrinkage. Fibers make up one to three percent of the volume of the concrete mix overall and can be either flat or round. The market growth is driven by the rapid urbanization in both developed and developing economies. This has increased the demand of infrastructure facilities such as metro tunnels, airports, schools, hospitals and more. The rapid development in mining activities is also contributing significantly towards industry growth.
Market Dynamics
Growing demand for concrete fibers
In both developing and rising nations, the demand for concrete fibers is expected to be driven by an increase in infrastructure construction. In recent times, nations have been actively engaged in road, bridge, and other infrastructure projects as the demand for modernization has grown. Moreover, because of their increased strength and longevity, these fibers have become a popular option for modern project developers. Over the course of the projection period, technological improvements are expected to occupy a significant industry share. Developers have more options because manufacturers are actively working on making ideal products that can delight clients and offer higher quality.
Rising raw material prices to impact market demand
Due to the shifting pricing of raw materials including steel, polypropylene, and glass, it is anticipated that the production cost of these fibers will pose a substantial industry obstacle in the years to come. Furthermore, the cost of concrete fibers may be prohibitive for nations with low-budget building projects. The concrete admixture industry is expected to grow as a result of more residential and commercial developments. During the projection period, makers of concrete floor coatings stand to gain significantly from the need for lightweight materials from the manufacturing sector.
Market Segmentation
Our in-depth analysis of the global concrete fiber market includes the following segments by product type, application, and end-use:
Synthetic Fiber is Projected to Emerge as the Largest Segment
The market for synthetic fiber concrete fiber is anticipated to expand. The main trend in the market is the use of synthetic fiber-reinforced concrete for flooring applications. Moreover, it can be applied for building interior ground constructions that rest on floor slabs. Additional uses for synthetic fiber-reinforced concrete include power-floated flooring, garage flooring, workshop flooring, and flooring for residential use. Furthermore, external ground-supported slabs can be constructed using synthetic fiber-reinforced concrete, as well as pavements.
Industrial & Commercial Infrastructure Sub-segment to Hold a Considerable Market Share
Concrete fiber is becoming more and more popular in commercial and industrial infrastructure due to the requirement to increase the strength and durability of concrete. These fibers are becoming a great choice for developers looking to construct sturdy infrastructure in light of the developed world's rising urbanization. The industry is expanding as a result of more environmentally friendly building techniques, which use less real concrete during construction.
Regional Outlook
The global concrete fiber market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia-Pacific), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America).

Global Concrete Fiber Market Growth by Region 2024-2031
North America Holds Major Market Share
The majority of the global market share for concrete fiber is accounted for by North America. North America is the most sought-after location due to the growing need for concrete fibers, the creation of high-quality novel fibers, and the advancement of applications. The US is considered the largest consumer nation in North America due to the growing usage of fibers and the expansion of business. It is expected that the country's demand will be driven by the construction industry's rapid expansion. Furthermore, construction fiber companies are looking for higher profits in the nation as construction activity increases.
Market Players Outlook
*Note: Major Players Sorted in No Particular Order.
The major companies serving the global concrete fiber market include ABC Polymer Industries LLC, BASF SE, Owens Corning, Sika AG, GCP Applied Technologies Inc., and The Euclid Chemical Company,among others. The market players are increasingly focusing on business expansion and product development by applying strategies such as collaborations, mergers, and acquisitions to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in January 2021, CiDRA Holdings announced the spin-out of its concrete quality systems business into a standalone company. It is an IoT-based business that provides real-time data that continuously measures the concrete quality from the batch plant to the job site via concrete Ready-Mix trucks. The data is captured through the company’s proprietary SMARThatch sensor mounted on each truck and then delivered for cloud-based access via on-board telematics allowing for real-time concrete quality data to be immediately available to the concrete producer.
