The unexpected shifts in the global markets because of the sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 virus have brought many major and minor tremors to industries of all sizes including the High-Performance Glass Fiber Market.
It was estimated prior to this unanticipated outbreak that the High-Performance Glass Fiber Market will reach US$ 390.6 million in 2023. However, the gradual slowing down of industries will undoubtedly impose limits on the previously estimated growth rate.

High-performance fibers were developed for military applications during 1960’s and are known by various names, such as S-glass in the USA, R-glass in Europe, and T-glass in Japan. It has a tensile strength of approximately 700 KSI and tensile modulus of up to 14 MSI. High-performance glass fiber is 40% to 70% stronger than E-glass fiber due to higher silica oxide, aluminum oxide, and magnesium oxide content than E-glass fiber. The usage of high-performance glass fibers is in very niche applications in aerospace & defense, automotive, sporting goods, wind energy, and other industries.
The high-performance glass fiber market is segmented based on the end-use industry type as Aerospace & Defense, Sporting Goods, Automotive, Wind Energy, Electrical & Electronics, and Others. Aerospace & Defense is projected to remain the largest segment during the forecast period, propelled by increasing production rates of key composites rich aircraft, such as B787 and A350XWB; upcoming commercial and regional aircraft; and increasing production of military vehicles. The automotive segment is likely to exhibit the highest growth over the next five years. The prime growth driver of the market is the increasing penetration of advanced composites in the structural section of vehicles with the purpose to make the vehicle lightweight to achieve the stringent government regulations, such as CAFÉ standards.

Based on the regions, North America is projected to remain the largest market for high-performance glass fiber over the next five years. The region is the manufacturing hub of the aerospace & defense industry with the presence of several small- to large-sized OEMs, tier players, and high-performance glass fiber manufacturers. High-performance glass fiber market in Asia-Pacific is relatively smaller but is likely to witness the highest growth during the forecast period. Upcoming commercial & regional aircraft, increasing defense spending, the highest automotive production, the highest wind turbine installations, and the highest PCB production are the major growth drivers of the Asia-Pacific’s market.
Key Players:
The global high-performance glass fiber market is highly consolidated with the presence of less than a dozen players. The key high-performance glass fiber manufacturers are AGY Holdings, Owens Corning Corporation, CPIC Fiberglass, Nittobo, and 3B Fibreglass. New product development, collaboration with customers, and long-term contracts are the key strategies adopted by the major players to gain a competitive edge in the market.
