Metal fibers are thin filaments made using metal, plastic-coated metal, or metal-coated plastic. They are lightweight, durable, versatile, flexible, magnetic, and comfortable to wear. They assist in absorbing energy, reducing static electricity, and adding shine and aesthetic value to garments. Apart from this, they offer numerous beneficial properties, including high porosity, low electrical resistance, excellent thermal, corrosion, shock, and fire resistance, and sound insulation. As they are good conductors of heat and electricity and have high strength and stiffness, metal fibers find extensive application in various end-use industries across the globe.

Metal Fiber Market Trends:

At present, there is a rise in the demand for lightweight vehicles worldwide. This, in confluence with stringent regulations imposed by governing agencies of various countries to increase the fuel efficiency of vehicles, represents one of the key factors strengthening the growth of the market. Moreover, metal fibers help during diesel and gasoline particulate filtration and achieve optimal filter performance and durability. They are pleated and welded to fit a compact design for a smaller filter system footprint and provide various features, such as high permeability and lower filter ratings. As they also remove contaminants in fuel and lube oil, reduce wear on the engine components and minimize engine fuel consumption and pollutant emissions, they are increasingly being utilized in the marine industry around the world. Besides this, there is an increase in the adoption of metal fibers in the production of bags, apparel, carpets, footwear, gloves, garments, seats, home décor products, and other industrial solutions. Furthermore, leading market players are continuously funding research and development (R&D) activities, which is creating a favorable market outlook.
