Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete Market Growth & Trends

The global glass fiber reinforced concrete market size is expected to reach USD 244.2 million by 2027, expanding at a CAGR of 5.76% from 2020 to 2027, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The rising demand for non-corrosive materials in the construction industry is projected to propel the demand for glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC).

Rising use of glass fibers to create fireplace surrounds, fa?ade wall panels, vanity tops, fireplace surrounds, and concrete countertops owing to their unique properties and tensile strength is anticipated to benefit the demand for glass fiber reinforced concrete. In addition, increasing technological advancements in the construction sector are likely to fuel the GFRC market growth.

Expanding population and rapid urbanization and industrialization in the emerging economies are expected to drive governments to increase their construction spending to cater to the rising infrastructure needs. This, in turn, is projected to drive the demand for GFRC in various construction applications.

Glass fibers reinforced concrete panels are comparatively thinner than the traditionally used concrete panels. In addition, a high dose of glass fibers leads to excellent tensile strength while high polymer content makes the concrete flexible and resistant to cracking. This is anticipated to fuel market growth.
