Market Dynamics

Introduction

In the poles market, composites (FRP) have earned a largely unheralded but significant place because of their lightweight, strength, and low conductive properties. The poles made of FRP are highly resistant to corrosion, rot, UV rays, water absorption, insects, and woodpeckers. These poles do not lose strength as well as require less maintenance as compared to wood and concrete poles. They are highly recommended by experts in the wake of their electrical property and their ability to withstand heavy wind loads and impact.

Market Drivers

The FRP poles market is likely to maintain its healthy growth pace, landing at an estimated value of US$ 238 million in 2030. Key driving factors are the increasing acceptance of FRP poles over their arch-rivals, the growing need for replacement of aged pole infrastructure, the excellent life-cycle cost of FRP poles, and their ability to withstand various weather and related impacts.

COVID-19 Impact

The minimum disruption in the demand for FRP poles amid the pandemic was because of undergoing several power projects, such as transmission and distribution activities, guaranteeing a healthy demand for FRP poles.

Segments Analysis

By Application Type

“Distribution is expected to remain the biggest demand generating-application of the market during the forecast period.”         

• Based on the application types such as transmission, distribution, telecommunication, lighting, and others.

• Distribution is expected to remain the biggest demand-generating application of the market during the forecast period. There has been a dominance of different applications in different regions, demanding companies to have a greater knowledge about the market before investing in any region.

By Process Type

“Filament winding holds a giant share in the market with most of the manufacturers engaged in manufacturing FRP poles through this process.”

• Based on the process type the market is segmented into Pultrusion, Filament Winding, and Centrifugal Casting.

• Filament winding is estimated to maintain its dominance in the market during the forecast period. Most of the manufacturers prefer to go with the filament winding process for FRP pole fabrication in the wake of its suitability for pole manufacturing and more feasibility over alternatives.

• On the other hand, pultruded poles also have a sizeable market share, and their growth can be attributed to their flexibility in manufacturing different shapes through the pultrusion process.

By Resin Type

“Polyurethane is likely to maintain its dominance during the forecast period, whereas polyester is expected to grow at the highest rate.”

• Based on the resin type market is segmented into polyurethane, polyester, and others.

• Polyurethane is likely to maintain its dominance during the forecast period, whereas polyester is expected to grow at the highest rate during the same period.

• Polyester resin is gaining traction on account of its benefits such as ease of use and cost-effectiveness. Other key resins in the market include epoxy and vinyl esters.

Regional Analysis

“North America is expected to remain the largest market for FRP pole during the forecast period."

• In terms of regions, North America is expected to remain the largest market for FRP Poles during the forecast period. The USA acts as the growth engine of the market with the highest penetration of FRP poles in the overall pole market.

• Among countries, Canada, Scandinavia, China, and Australia are some other key countries with lucrative market demand.

• Emerging economies, such as India and China, are currently having very low penetration of FRP poles; however, these poles offer good growth potential in the long run.
