Basalt Fiber Market Analysis
The Basalt Fiber Market size is estimated at 56.17 kilotons in 2024, and is expected to reach 95.21 kilotons by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 11.13% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
The COVID-19 epidemic harmed the basalt fiber sector. Global lockdowns and severe rules enforced by governments resulted in a catastrophic setback as most production hubs were shut down. Nonetheless, the businesses were recovering since 2021 and are expected to rise significantly in the coming years.
- Over the short term, increasing demand from the automotive industry and spending on home remodeling and retrofitting activities are factors driving the studied market's growth.
- On the flip side, the easy availability of existing substitute products and fluctuations in raw material prices are expected to hinder the studied market's growth.
- However, increasing adoption of environmentally friendly materials will likely create opportunities for the market in the coming years.
- Asia-Pacific region is expected to dominate the market and is also likely to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
Basalt Fiber Market Trends
Increasing Usage in the Automotive Industry
- Basalt fiber is environmentally friendly and includes good mechanical strength, resistance to high temperatures, durability, and chemical resistance. Due to all these properties and characteristics, basalt fiber is used in the automotive industry.
- In the automotive industry, basalt fiber is used for different parts such as headliners, CNG cylinders, fuel tanks, brake pads, clutch plates, exhausting systems, Muffler's filler, panels, screens, tire covers, interior and exterior parts based on fabrics, thermoplastic compound parts, and components.
- The rising population, improved living standards, and increased spending power will likely boost the demand for automobiles globally. For instance, according to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), in 2022, the total number of passenger cars produced globally was 61.59 million units, which showed an increase of 8% compared to 2021. Therefore, an increase in the production of passenger cars is expected to create an upside demand for the basalt fiber market during the forecast period.
- Moreover, with the ease of supply chain issues in Germany, automobile production in the country observed an upside trend. For instance, according to OICA, in 2022, around 36,77,820 units of automobiles were produced in Germany, which shows an increase of 11% compared to 2021. Therefore, an increase in the production of automobiles in the country is expected to create an upside demand for the basalt fiber market.
- Furthermore, the United States is the second-largest vehicle sales and production market globally. For instance, according to The International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), in 2022, automobile production in the United States amounted to 1,00,60,339 units, which showed an increase of 10% compared to 2021. As a result, an increase in automobile production is expected to create a significant demand for basalt fiber.
- Basalt fibers provide many benefits as filler for car mufflers showing great silencing properties and good resistance to thermal cycling. For instance, Toyota (one of the world's leading automotive companies) uses basalt fiber as sub- Muffler stuffing for their cars.
- Owing to all these factors, the demand for basalt fiber will likely grow globally during the forecast period.
Asia-Pacific Region to Dominate the Market
- The Asia-Pacific region dominated the global market share owing to the increasing automotive production and building and construction activities in the countries like China, Japan, and India.
- The automobile industry in China is experiencing shifting trends as consumer preference for battery-powered electric vehicles rises. The expansion of China's automotive sector is expected to benefit the ballast fiber market. According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), China is the world's largest automobile producer, accounting for nearly 34% of global volume. In 2022, the country produced 2,70,20,615 units of automobiles, registering an increase of 24% compared to 2,61,21,712 units in 2021. Therefore, increasing the production of automobiles is expected to create demand for basalt fiber.
- In India, increasing regulations on vehicle emissions, vehicle safety advancement, driver-assist system introduction, and rapidly growing logistics in the retail and e-commerce sectors significantly drove the demand for new and advanced Light commercial vehicles (LCVs). For instance, according to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), in 2022, light commercial vehicle production in India amounted to 6,17,398 units, showing an increase of 27% compared to 2021.
- Moreover, increased investments and advancements in the automobile industry in India are expected to increase the consumption of ballast fiber products. For instance, in April 2022, Tata Motors announced plans to invest USD 3.08 billion in its passenger vehicle business over the next five years. This expansion is expected to include a positive impact on the basalt fiber market in the country.
- Furthermore, China holds the largest Asia-Pacific share of the construction market. The demand for basalt fiber is expected to rise throughout the forecast period due to rising investments and construction activity in the country. For instance, according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) of China, in 2022, the output value of construction works in China amounted to CNY 27.63 trillion (USD 4,108.581 billion), an increase of 6.6% compared with 2021.
- The Japanese construction industry is expected to be booming as the country will host the World Expo in 2025 in Osaka, Japan. Furthermore, the ESR Cayman, OS Cosmosquare Data Centre, Osaka project, valued at USD 2,000 million, was Japan's largest building project, on which construction started in Q4 2022. The ESR Cayman, OS Cosmosquare Data Centre, Osaka project was announced in Q2 2021 in Osaka (City), Japan, with a completion date of Q1 2026. The second-largest project, the MLIT Japan, Shitara Dam Development, Aichi, with a project value of USD 570 million, began development in Q4 2022. The MLIT Japan, Shitara Dam Development, Aichi project is located in Japan and was announced in Q3 2022, with a completion date of Q4 2034.
- Due to all such factors, the region's basalt fiber market is expected to grow steadily during the forecast period.
