Fiberglass Insulation Market to 2021: Global Scenario, Production Status and Consumption Forecast by Regions

Global fiberglass insulation market is segmented on the basis of application and geography. Fiberglass (or fibreglass) comes across as a kind of fiber reinforced plastic where the reinforcement fiber, to be specific, is glass fiber. The glass fiber could be randomly arranged, woven into a fabric, or compressed into a sheet (called a chopped strand mat). The plastic matrix could be a thermosetting plastic that is most often polyester resin, epoxy, vinylester, or a thermoplastic.


Fiberglass finds applications in composites, storage tanks, insulations, piping, house building, and filament winding. The major drivers of the fiberglass insulation market are impressive growth in construction activity, increasing demand for higher thermal efficiency, lightweight, strength, durability, and eco-friendly insulation products. The increasing awareness of energy saving is also driving the demand of fiberglass insulation market.


Gains in the fiberglass insulation market will largely stem from a rebound in the construction sector and the mounting use of glass fiber in insulation. Headwinds that will slow down the market’s growth include the invasion of low-cost fiberglass and a slowdown in growth in maturing markets. Fiberglass, a material produced by using ultrathin strands of glass to reinforce the plastic matrix is desired in several applications because of the strength and lightness it lends. The commercial production of fiberglass has taken off worldwide also because the required raw materials are both economical and abundantly available. The preference for fiberglass over carbon fiber has also given the market for former a lift.

The pressing need for lightweight automobiles and aircraft will act as a primary growth driver for the fiberglass insulation market. The trend of replacing heavier metal components with lighter weight fiberglass parts has created a window of opportunity for the fiberglass market in emerging countries and stirring up some fresh demand in otherwise stagnant mature markets.
