Pune, Maharashtra -- (SBWire) -- 08/29/2017 --Fiber reinforced concrete involves the use of fibrous material to increase the structural integrity of concrete. Fibers are typically used in concrete to control cracking and faults that occur due to the shrinkage of plastic and evaporation of water during hardening stage of concrete. Concrete fibers are majorly used in different end-user industries such as residential, commercial, industrial, building, and construction. Moreover, fibers add tensile strength and toughness in concrete owing to which fibers enhance the structural design of the construction by improving shatter and abrasion resistance.

Various types of concrete fiber increasingly being embraced in industries include micro-synthetic fibers, macro-synthetic fibers, glass fibers, steel fibers, natural fibers, cellulose fibers, and concrete fiber blends. Micro-synthetic concrete fiber contains monofilament and fibrillated fibers that are manufactured from polyethylene, polypropylene, polyesters, and nylon. Macro-synthetic concrete fiber manufactured from polypropylene helps reduce the width of cracks. Glass fiber has potential applications in architectural panels.
The global concrete fiber market is expected to witness enormous growth in future. Asia-Pacific is expected to trigger the market growth owing to an increase in construction and architectural designs coupled with an increase in population. Moreover, concrete fibers are being increasingly deployed in roads, highways, bridges, and pavements in the transportation industry. In addition, it is utilized in mining and tunneling activities. Growth of end-user industries is significantly driving the growth of the market.
However, the increasing consumption of concrete fiber is significantly leading to higher operating costs when compared with conventional reinforcing materials. Moreover, the innovation of ready mix concrete that is suitable for several applications such as industrial, mining, and road construction hamper the growth of the market. Furthermore, the increasing interest of global manufacturers in setting up distribution networks and R&D centers in Asia-Pacific acts as a promising opportunity for the market growth.
The key market players in this sector are Propex Operating Company, LLC, BASF SE, Nycon Corporation, Owens Corning, Elasto Plastics, ABC Polymer Industries, Sika AG, Bekaert SA, Ultratech Cement, and Forta Corporation.
