Fiberglass Body Filler Global Market Report 2025

The fiberglass body filler market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.44 billion in 2024 to $1.54 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the increasing use of fiberglass body fillers in electric vehicle chassis repairs, rising demand for vintage and classic car restoration, growing adoption in custom marine craft fabrication, increasing application in industrial equipment prototyping, and rising interest in eco friendly and low emission filler formulations.

The fiberglass body filler market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.02 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing demand for lightweight and durable materials, rising popularity of do it yourself repair projects, growing automotive collision repair activities, increasing adoption of fiberglass body fillers in marine applications, and rising construction and infrastructure development. Key trends expected during this period include advancements in lightweight composite materials, development of advanced corrosion resistant fiberglass formulations, innovation in automotive repair and restoration applications, integration of eco friendly and low emission resins, and progress in high strength fiberglass body fillers for industrial use.

The growing automotive industry is expected to drive the growth of the fiberglass body filler market in the coming years. The automotive industry includes the production, sale, and maintenance of vehicles such as cars, trucks, motorcycles, and their components. The industry is expanding due to increasing demand for personal and commercial vehicles driven by urbanization and rising mobility needs. Fiberglass body filler supports the automotive sector by enabling quick and efficient repair of dents, cracks, and damaged panels, thereby minimizing downtime and maintaining both the structural integrity and visual appeal of vehicles. For example, in March 2024, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, a Belgium based organization, global car production reached nearly 76 million units in 2023, reflecting a 10.2 percent increase compared to the previous year. Therefore, the growing automotive industry is fueling the growth of the fiberglass body filler market.

Key companies operating in the fiberglass body filler market are focusing on developing advanced solutions such as vinyl ester marine filler to improve corrosion resistance, durability, and performance in both marine and automotive repair applications. Vinyl ester marine filler is a type of fiberglass body filler formulated with vinyl ester resin, designed to deliver superior adhesion, corrosion resistance, and durability for repairing and reinforcing boats, yachts, and other marine structures exposed to water and harsh environmental conditions. For example, in October 2025, EVERCOAT Inc., a US based manufacturing company, introduced a new marine product line called Aqua Craft to provide high performance solutions for boat and marine surface repairs. This product line enhances marine repair by offering up to 15 times faster dry to sand times and combining filling and fairing in one step, while ensuring compatibility with gel coat and paint systems. Its lightweight vinyl ester filler and 4:1 primer surfacer offer superior corrosion resistance and performance both above and below the waterline. Designed for boat builders and marine professionals, Aqua Craft improves repair efficiency, reduces cycle times, and delivers long lasting durability in challenging marine environments.

In July 2024, Axalta Coating Systems Ltd., a US based paint and coating manufacturing company, acquired the CoverFlexx Group for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Axalta Coating Systems Ltd. aims to expand its refinish business and strengthen its market presence by leveraging synergies to enhance value delivery for economy focused automotive refinish customers in North America. The CoverFlexx Group is a US based manufacturing company that produces fiberglass body fillers.

North America was the largest region in the fiberglass body filler market in 2024. Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the forecast period. The regions covered in fiberglass body filler report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East and Africa.

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 intensifying U.S. tariffs and escalating trade tensions in spring 2025 are expected to have a significant impact on the chemicals sector, which is bearing a disproportionate burden, particularly from tariffs on petrochemicals and intermediates, where affordable domestic substitutes are often unavailable. Producers of specialty chemicals, heavily dependent on Chinese raw materials, are experiencing production disruptions. At the same time, fertilizer manufacturers are seeing profit margins eroded due to tariffs on phosphate imports. In response, companies are ramping up R&D into bio-based alternatives, forming procurement alliances to consolidate buying power, and shifting production to tariff-neutral nations such as Saudi Arabia.
