Opportunities for global aramid fiber market to reach $3.8 billion by 2021

According to a new market report published by Lucintel, the future of the global aramid fiber market looks bright, with opportunities in the aerospace, automotive, protective clothing, electronics and telecommunication. The global aramid fiber market is expected to reach an estimated $3.8 billion by 2021 and it is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2016 to 2021. The major drivers of growth for this market are increasing usage of aramid fiber in brake pads, clutches, gaskets, linings, and tires in automotive and the growing demand for protective clothing from defense and industrial sectors.
In this market, aerospace, automotive, electronics and telecommunication, protective clothing and others are the major end use industries. On the basis of its comprehensive research, Lucintel forecasts that the segments of aerospace and protective clothing are expected to show above average growth during the forecast period of 2016 to 2021.
Within the global aramid fiber market, safety and protection, friction material, rubber reinforcement, and electrical transmission are the major applications. The safety and protection application is expected to remain the largest market by value and volume consumption. This is due to growth in demand for protective clothing from the military personnel and stringent regulations in Europe and North America regarding employee health and safety, which would spur growth for this segment over the forecast period.
By product type, para and meta-aramid fiber are the major segments. The meta-aramid fiber market is expected to witness above average growth over the forecast period. Meta-aramid fiber offers high heat resistance and great abrasion resistance, which make it a popular choice for electrical insulation and fire resistant clothing.
North America is expected to remain the largest region due to increasing government investments in safety and protection applications and significant growth in the automotive and aerospace industry.
Asia Pacific is expected to witness above average growth over the forecast period because of the increasing demand for optical fiber and cables and growing automotive production, especially in China and India.
For business expansion, the report suggests innovation and new product development to produce high-performance aramid fiber. The report further suggests the development of partnerships with customers to create win-win situations and the development of low-cost solutions for customers.
The major emerging trend, which has a direct impact on the dynamics of the industry, is the increasing penetration of aramid fiber in head protection applications. Teijin Aramid, Dupont, Kolon Industries, Yantai Tayho Advanced Materials Co. Ltd., and Hyosung Corporation are among the major suppliers of the aramid fiber market.
