According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Aramid Fiber Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2022-2027”, the global aramid fiber market reached US$ 3.6 Billion in 2021. Aramid fiber refers to a high-performance organic fiber that is made from aromatic polyamides. These fibers are manufactured from man-made molecules with relatively stiff polymer chains held together by hydrogen bonds, which effectively transfer mechanical stress, thus allowing low molecular weight chains to be used. The elastic modulus of aramid fiber is much greater than that of conventional polyamide fiber, offering superior mechanical properties than steel or glass fiber on an equal basis. The fiber has numerous excellent properties, including high strength, good abrasion resistance, and high resistance to organic solvents, as well as low flammability and nonconductivity. Several end-use industries use aramid fiber for reinforcement in composite materials, such as sports goods, aircraft, and military vehicles, as well as fabric in the production of fire safety garments or bulletproof jackets.
Global Aramid Fiber Market Trends:
The global market is majorly driven by the rising usage of lightweight and flexible materials in the manufacturing of protective armor and shields. This can be attributed to the increasing domestic and international conflicts resulting in considerable growth in the military and defense sector. In addition to this, the widespread adoption of advanced robotic systems and material handling equipment in warehousing is resulting in a higher product uptake. The rapid utilization of aramid fibers in developing lightweight aircraft and vehicles with high structural integrity is also providing an impetus to the market. Besides this, stringent government regulations promoting workplace safety are acting as a significant growth-inducing factor for the market. The market is further driven by the augmenting number of onshore and offshore drilling activities, along with the expanding shale oil and gas industry. The rapid product utilization as a substitute for fiberglass-reinforced plastic to avoid glass shatter and remnant debris during a crash in racing automobiles is further fueling the market. Apart from this, the expansion of 5G technology is propelling the demand for these fibers in the manufacturing of 5G cables, thereby creating a positive market outlook. Some of the other factors contributing to the market include considerable growth in the construction industry, continual technological developments and extensive research and development (R&D) activities. On account of the aforementioned factors, the market is anticipated to reach a value of US$ 4.4 Billion by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 3.5% during 2022-2027.
