The growing focus on renewable energy sources is expected to drive the expansion of the glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) or fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) cable protection tube market moving forward. Renewable energy sources refer to sustainable energy generated from natural resources that are continuously replenished, including solar, wind, hydro, biomass, and geothermal power. The increased adoption of renewable energy is motivated by the need to lower greenhouse gas emissions and address climate change by utilizing cleaner, sustainable energy alternatives. GRP or FRP cable protection tubes are employed in renewable energy applications to safely house and protect underground and underwater power cables in demanding environments, ensuring reliable power transmission from solar farms, wind turbines, and hydropower plants. For example, in March 2022, the US Energy Information Administration reported that renewable energy’s share of power generation is projected to nearly triple, rising from 21% in 2021 to 44% by 2050, driven largely by new wind and solar projects. Thus, the increasing emphasis on renewable energy is contributing to the growth of the GRP or FRP cable protection tube market.

Rising infrastructure investments are anticipated to propel the growth of the GRP or FRP cable protection tube market. Infrastructure investment involves spending on the construction, upgrading, or maintenance of essential facilities and systems that support a country’s economic and social activities. Such investments stimulate economic growth by improving efficiency, lowering costs, and attracting further capital. Infrastructure projects drive demand for GRP or FRP cable protection tubes by increasing the need for durable, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant materials to safeguard cables in large-scale utility, transportation, and energy developments. For instance, in July 2024, the Office for National Statistics reported that infrastructure investment in the UK reached £13.8 billion ($17.25 billion) in 2023, marking a 3.9% increase compared to 2022. Therefore, the rise in infrastructure spending is fostering the expansion of the GRP or FRP cable protection tube market.

Key companies in the GRP or FRP cable protection tube market are prioritizing the development of innovative products, such as toughened thermoset resin-fiber reinforcement, to improve structural strength and environmental resilience. This technology creates lightweight yet highly durable composite structures that resist environmental stressors including corrosion, fire, and impact, making them well-suited for challenging utility and telecommunications environments. For example, in June 2024, Creative Composites Group, a US-based chemical manufacturer, launched the StormStrong Utility, Telecom, and Light Poles product line. These poles utilize resin-fiber reinforcement technology to deliver high-performance FRP structures resistant to corrosion, fire, rot, and mechanical damage. The lightweight and sustainable composite poles help enhance grid resiliency, reduce maintenance needs, and protect the environment by preventing chemical leaching.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s recommendations and conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The quick escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting strain in trade relations in spring 2025 are considerably influencing the Paper, Plastics, Rubber, Wood And Textile sector by inflating costs for imported pulp, resin, synthetic rubber, lumber, and cotton key inputs with limited domestic substitutes. Packaging manufacturers, for example, now pay more for plastic films and corrugated materials, squeezing margins in an already price-sensitive market. Textile producers face similar challenges, as tariffs on imported yarns and dyes compound pressures from rising labor costs. Some firms are shifting to recycled materials or biodegradable alternatives, while others consolidate suppliers to negotiate bulk discounts.

Glass reinforced plastic (GRP) or fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) cable protection tubes are composite conduits made by reinforcing plastic with glass fibers to encase and safeguard electrical or communication cables. These tubes provide high mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, electrical insulation, and a lightweight profile, making them well-suited for underground, industrial, and harsh environmental applications, including power distribution, telecom infrastructure, and oil and gas facilities.

The primary types of GRP or FRP cable protection tubes include coiled fiberglass protection tubes, winding fiberglass protection tubes, and others. Coiled fiberglass protection tubes are preformed into a spiral or coiled shape, offering flexibility and easy installation in compact or irregular spaces. These tubes are manufactured from materials such as glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) and fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) and are distributed through channels including direct sales, distributors, online retail, wholesale dealers, and specialty stores. They are applied across various sectors such as telecommunications, electrical systems, construction, infrastructure development, and industrial machinery, serving industries such as information technology, energy and utilities, transportation, manufacturing, and healthcare.
