Growth and Trends in the Global Fiberglass Market

Published: Feb 2025

The fiberglass market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 10% during the forecast period (2024-2031). The market growth is driven by the extensive use of fiberglass for manufacturing applications in the construction and automobile industries. Additionally, fiberglass is used on a large scale in industries such as aerospace & defense, marine, food, electronics body parts, and more to produce lightweight body parts, contributing to the market growth during the forecast period. Furthermore, stringent government regulations across the globe are propelling the market. Moreover, the increasing adoption of renewable energy has led to the increased installations of wind turbines, contributing to the rising demand for hard and lightweight fiberglass, for the manufacturing of blades of wind turbines and other parts. However, the availability of its substitute products, such as carbon fiber and aluminum is the major factor restraining market growth.

The global fiberglass market is segmented by glass type (S-glass, E-glass, AR-glass, D-glass, and others), by end-user (automobile, aerospace & defense, food & beverage, energy, construction, and others), and geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World). 

Market Dynamics

  • The E-glass segment is anticipated to hold a considerable market share during the forecast period, owing to the lower cost, high production rates, low density, fire resistance, and electrical insulation. The growing application of glass in packaging, automobiles, marine, constructions, and more is further contributing to the segmental growth. 
  • Asia Pacific market is anticipated to hold considerable market share, attributed to the growth of the construction industry, installation of solar panels and wind turbines, and the growing demand for electric cars.
  • Asia-Pacific is home to various wind turbines and solar panel manufacturers such as Ming Yang, Goldwind, United Power, Sulzon Group, JinkoSolar, Trina Solar, LONGi Solar, Power China, China Communications Constructions Company, and L&T Construction, among others, which is contributing to the market growth. 

The major players in the global fiberglass market include Owens Corning, Binani Industries Ltd., Compagnie de Saint-Gobain S.A., Nippon Electric Glass Co. Ltd, and Taiwan Glass Industry Corp, among others. The market players are actively adopting different growth strategies such as mergers & acquisitions, capacity expansion, and product innovation among others, contributing significantly to the market growth.  

Recent Developments 

  • In May 2024, Knauf Insulation, Inc. launched its new HVAC fiberglass insulation product line, Knauf Performance+. The product line is CERTIFIED asthma & allergy friendly® and the only HVAC fiberglass insulation line that is formaldehyde-free.
  • In March 2024, WernerCo launched its new fiberglass work platform, available in both its ZARGES and Werner brands, ideal for low-level jobs on-site.
