Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites (FRP) Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis By Product Type (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) Composites, Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) Composites, Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer (BFRP) Composites, Aramid Fiber Reinforced Polymer (AFRP) Composites), By Application (Automotive, Construction, Fire Fighting) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

FRP composites is a composite material made of polymer matrix that is reinforced with fibre. The fibres used are generally glass, carbon, aramid or basalt. Polymers generally used are epoxy, vinyl ester or polyester plastic. They are generally used in aerospace, automotive, construction, marine and other sectors. It is applicable in Weight-saving, precision engineering applications and simplification of production.

Increasing demand for lightweight material but with high strength, flexibility and that can withstand impact and heavy load from Aerospace industry is driving the market. Additionally, increasing R&D for technical advancements in the Automobile industries to make the vehicle light and impact resistant is likely to boost the market growth. For instance, it is used in Rudder of Airbus A310. It reduced approximately 25 % of the total weight and up to 95% reduction in number of components by replacing combining parts with simpler moulded parts.

However rising concerns about the recyclability of FRP composites is likely to hinder the market growth and industry profitability.
