Booming Automotive Industry to Become Cornerstone of Growth for Glass Fiber Market

The competitive landscape in the global glass fiber market is fairly consolidated, finds TMR in a new study. The leading players in the overall market are focusing on developing export channels to increase their international presence and subdue China’s hold in the foreign markets.

TMR’s findings also indicate that major companies are focusing on aligning their research and development activities to develop improved product portfolio. For instance, Jiangsu Jiuding New Material Co. Ltd. invested about US$3.2 mn in R&D in 2013. This move enabled the company to create 44 technology and product patents. Similarly, Nippon Electric Glass Co., Ltd. is gunning for expanding its capacities to improve its market position and cater to the pharmaceutical sector as well.

Heightened Marine and Automotive Production Improves Glass Fiber Demand

Exceptional qualities of glass fiber such as low weight, higher impact resistance, and superior strength make it a popular choice of material across the building and construction industry. TMR analyst says, “The growing population of Asia Pacific, which accounted for 60.5% of the total global population, has spurred a huge demand for construction of residential projects. These interlinked factors have created a massive demand for glass fiber that is largely used for building walls, pipes, and furniture and fixtures amongst others.”
The rise of the marine and the automotive sector has also contributed significantly to the demand and usage of glass fiber. Their peculiar characteristic of being lightweight has won them a special place in these industries. Over the years, e-glass fibers and performance glass fibers have played an important role in the design of high-speed vehicles and vessels and will continue to do so with increasing research and development.
The growing pressure to reduce carbon footprint has prompted several governments across the globe to investment in renewable energy. This, in turn, has created a demand for wind turbines, which use glass fiber to a large extent. Therefore, as the operations to devise sustainable solutions for renewable energy remain underway, they will boost the glass fiber market by generating a demand for wind turbines. Strict renewable energy targets are thus likely to create a lucrative opportunity for the growth of wind turbine market.

China Holds the Lion’s Share in Overall Market

In terms of geographical segmentation of the market, Europe and North America are facing a challenge in the overall glass fiber market due to China’s stronghold. The dominating nature of China’s glass fiber market, which is exceptionally export oriented, is creating an insurmountable hurdle. The generous government subsidies given to China-based manufacturers of glass fiber are preventing other regional markets from winning bigger shares.
The research report states that the opportunity of the glass fiber market will be worth US$17.44 bn by 2024 as compared to US$8.50 bn in 2014. Between the forecast period of 2016 and 2024, this market will expand at an impressive CAGR of 7.5%.
In terms of volume Asia Pacific accounted for a share of 47.5% in the overall market in 2014. Research projects demand from China will keep this region in the forefront in the near future as well.

Superabrasives (Turning, Cutting, Buffing, Drilling, Boring, Grinding) Market Research Report 2025

An abrasive is a material which molds or provides finishing to a work piece through a process which includes buffing, grinding, cutting, as well as polishing. Abrasion typically depends on the difference in the hardness of the material and the abrasive (with the latter being the harder of the two). Unlike regular abrasion where any two solid materials that repeatedly rub against each other tend to wear away, superabrasives possess the kind of hardness that enables them to stay usable for a longer period of time. On the basis of hardness, the top two superabrasives include diamond and cubic boron nitride (CBN). Industrial diamonds used as superabrasives are exceptionally hard materials. However, they display several technological limitations. For instance, when a diamond comes in contact with a ferrous alloy such as steel or a nickel superalloy, the resulting formation of carbide leads to its abrasion. Also, a diamond-containing tool can only be used at moderate temperatures a

Industrial Lubricants Market: Strong Demand Across Automotive Industry, Trends To 2025

Lubricants refer to the organic or inorganic material primarily being use to decrease friction between two surfaces in contact. Lubricants play a key role in several industries as well as in commercial and residential sectors. One of their most common uses is in the lubrication of bearings and gears, allowing for their easy movement at high speeds, without loss in energy, prevent excessive generation of heat, or most importantly, prevent damage that would be caused otherwise. Industrial lubricants are, therefore, essential in enhancing the overall efficiency of a machine that contains moving parts in contact with one another. The global industrial lubricants market is currently expanding at a solid growth rate, driven by several factors and spearheaded by the likes of BP, Total, Chevron Corporation, ExxonMobil, and Shell.

Rapid Prototyping Market - Rapidly Gaining Importance in Aerospace Sector, Research By 2024

Rapid prototyping is a technique in which the physical modeling of a design is done with the help of specialized machining technology. It was developed initially in the mid-1980s, the principle used in this technology is of solid modeling with the help of computer programs (i.e. CAD). Solid modeling makes use of computer aided-design (CAD) data to completely describe not just the external shape of parts or equipment, but its interior volume as well as the outside surfaces. The computer model is sliced into thin layers and the part of the product or commodity to be modelled or developed as per the requirement, is eventually fabricated by adding layers onto each other. Obtain Report Details @   http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/rapid-prototyping-market.html The primary benefit of the system is that almost any shape can be manufactured using computerized programs. Time and money savings vary from 50% to 90% compared to conventional systems. Types of rapid prototypi
