Global Fiberglass Market is valued at approximately USD 12.58 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 4.8% over the forecast period 2023-2030. The global fiberglass market refers to the industry involved in the production, distribution, and use of fiberglass, which is a reinforced plastic material made from fine fibers of glass. The major driving factors for the Global Fiberglass Market are rising construction industry and the growing automotive industry. Moreover, rising technological advancements and high government support for the market are creating lucrative growth opportunities for the market over the forecast period 2023-2030.
Rise in number of connected cars worldwide is driving the market growth. Connected cars often feature advanced electronic systems and sensors that require lightweight materials to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. Fiberglass is known for its high strength-to-weight ratio, making it an attractive choice for components like body panels, bumpers, and interior parts. For instance,, according to Statista, in 2021 there was 237 million connected cars which is predicted to increase up to 400 million in 2025. Along with this, the global automotive manufacturing industry, due to pandemic the faced decline in revenue. Yet, the market is recovering slowly and in 2022 the market would lift up to USD 2.95 trillion from USD 2.71 trillion in 2020 according to Statista. Along with this, according to the same source, by year 2030, 58 million new self-driving cars are anticipated to be added on road across the globe, which would directly increase the adoption of 5G in automotive. Additionally, around 26% of all new car sales are anticipated to be electric vehicles. However, the high cost of Fiberglass stifles market growth throughout the forecast period of 2023-2030.

Recent Developments in the Market:
Ø In June 2022, Owens Corning announced the signing of an agreement to establish a joint venture with Pultron Composites. This joint venture aims to manufacture fiberglass rebar, a type of reinforcement used in concrete. Through this partnership, Owens Corning reaffirms its commitment to offering high-performance concrete reinforcement products in a sustainable manner. Fiberglass rebar provides advantages such as increased durability and corrosion resistance compared to traditional steel reinforcement.
Ø In February 2021, Saint-Gobain Vetrotex introduced a new sizing system called T34 as a successor to their previous T30 product. The T34 sizing system was specifically developed to enable heat-cleaning operations without compromising the textile properties of fiberglass. According to the company, the T34 sizing system has demonstrated excellent performance, with no broken filaments occurring during the weaving processes. This innovation enhances the manufacturing process of fiberglass textiles and contributes to improved product quality.
