    Market Dynamics

    Introduction

    Fibers in concrete help in several ways such as controlling and regulating plastic shrinkage and cracking, increasing energy absorption, and reducing dangerous spalling at high temperatures.

    They enhance tensile strength, and freeze-thaw resistance, and keep the concrete sturdy and visibly attractive over time. Hence, they are often used in applications like the construction of bridges, tunnels, and pavements.

    Market Drivers

    The demand for concrete fiber is expected to be driven by several factors, such as

    • Low prices of concrete fiber in comparison to other core materials.
    • Rising construction activities, especially in developing economies.
    • Increasing urbanization and the need for infrastructure development in these regions are driving the demand for construction materials that offer better performance and longevity.
    • The shift towards sustainable and eco-friendly construction practices also drives the demand for concrete fiber.
    • The use of natural and recycled fibers in concrete not only provides better performance but also reduces the environmental impact of construction activities.

    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.
