The global aramid fiber market size is expected to reach USD 6.8 billion by 2027, expanding at a revenue-based CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Superior properties such as strength and heat-resistance of aramid fiber has promoted its utilization in the production of body armor fabric.
The growing need for security and protection measures across various industries such as mining, healthcare/medical, oil and gas, building and construction, and the military is projected to propel market growth. In addition, stringent regulations in developing economies related to occupational safety are likely to benefit market growth over the forecast period.
Aramids fibers are being increasingly used as an alternative to metal wire and organic fiber in structural composite applications in aerospace and marine sectors, and ropes for oil rigs in offshore locations. In addition, product benefits such as non-aggressive wear and tear on drums and discs and fade resistance is anticipated to propel its usage.
The manufacturing process involves the use of a number of high-cost chemicals, which elevates its production cost. In addition, huge capital investment in machinery and production process is anticipated to pose a threat to the growth of the aramid fiber market. However, the development of cost-beneficial production facilities is anticipated to benefit market growth.
