The fiberglass market is expected to grow from USD 27.14 billion in 2025 to USD 34.97 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period.
S-glass is a high-performance type of fiberglass known for its exceptional strength and stiffness. It is produced by drawing glass fibers from a molten glass pool through fiberization. S-glass contains a high percentage of silica and magnesium oxide, which gives it superior properties compared to other fiberglass types. This advanced material is used in applications where strength and stiffness are crucial. As industries like aerospace, defense, and automotive demand more sophisticated materials, the demand for S-glass is expected to increase. S-glass is lightweight and used to create composite materials that are strong and durable. As these industries focus more on lightweighting to boost fuel efficiency and reduce emissions, the use of S-glass is likely to grow.
Fiberglass is also used to manufacture pipes and tanks for various applications, such as water and wastewater treatment plants, chemical processing facilities, and oil and gas operations. These fiberglass pipes and tanks are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and have a long service life. In the construction and infrastructure sectors, fiberglass offers many advantages, including light weight, durability, and corrosion resistance. As these industries continue to grow and face new challenges, the use of fiberglass is expected to rise.
Growth in wind energy and other renewable sectors fuels demand for fiberglass composites used in turbine blades and other components. Improvements in manufacturing processes enhance product quality and reduce costs, further enabling market expansion. Beyond construction and automotive, sectors like aerospace, electronics, marine, and sports goods also contribute to fiberglass market growth in the region.
