By End-User Type
The market is segmented into transport infrastructure, building & construction, mining & tunnel, industrial flooring, and others. Mining & tunnel is expected to remain the dominant segment in the market during the forecast period. Steel is the dominantly used fiber type in mining & tunnel applications.
Key applications for concrete fibers in mining & tunnel are tunnel lining and shafts, slope stabilization, and underground mines. Building & Construction is estimated to remain the growth propeller of the market in the coming five years. It includes all the residential and non-residential buildings and structures.
By Fiber Type
The market is segmented into steel fiber, synthetic fiber, glass fiber, and others. The synthetic fiber market is further bifurcated into macro fiber and microfiber. Steel fiber is expected to remain the dominant fiber type in the market during the forecast period, owing to its high durability, e-modulus, and tensile strength.
Steel fiber-reinforced concrete offers higher ductility and post-cracking strength, fatigue resistance, spalling, and wear & tear compared to conventional reinforced concrete. In addition, it is used for heavy-duty applications including ground slabs and precast elements for tunnels and bridges. However, Synthetic fiber is gaining faster acceptance. It controls and mitigates plastic shrinkage cracking, reduces segregation and bleeds water, increases surface durability, and reduces the risk of delaminating.

By Application Type
The market is classified as precast concrete, sprayed concrete, slab, and others. The slab is expected to remain the most preferred application for concrete fibers in the foreseen future. It is also anticipated that the demand for concrete fibers in this application is likely to witness the highest growth for the same period. Fiber-reinforced slabs are used in all the major end-use industries such as transport infrastructure, building & construction, mining & tunnel, and industrial flooring.
Precast concrete is likely to remain the second-largest application type of concrete fiber during the forecast period. The key advantages of precast concrete are high durability, versatility, ease of construction, and affordability. Also, it is aesthetically pleasing, reduces the overall construction time, and enhances safety at the construction site.
Regional Insights
Europe is expected to remain the largest market for concrete fibers during the forecast period. Germany and France remain the largest markets for concrete fibers in the region, due to an expected increase in the growth of construction activities, increasing demand for concrete reinforcement products, and increased focus on developing low-carbon concrete solutions. North America and Asia-Pacific are also likely to create sizeable opportunities in the coming five years, driven by an increase in construction activities.
