The wind energy end-use industry is estimated to account for the largest share of the fiberglass mold market in 2019.

Wind energy is an important end-use industry for a fiberglass mold. Wind blade molds are manufactured with sandwich construction with composite materials. The fiberglass molds are the most widely used molds for manufacturing composites wind blades. Increasing demand for renewable energy sources for generating electricity and falling wind energy costs are expected to increase the installation of wind turbines during the forecast period. The increased demand for wind turbine installation is expected to boost the demand for fiberglass molds for blade manufacturing further. Companies have also realized the immense potential of fiberglass molds that are used in the wind energy industry. For instance, in June 2016, Gurit Holding AG, the largest manufacturer of wind blade fiberglass mold, established a wind blade mold manufacturing facility in Szczecin (Poland). This production plant has helped the organization to cater to growing wind turbine demand in Europe.

Epoxy resin-based fiberglass molds are expected to dominate the global fiberglass mold market in 2019.

Epoxy resin is widely used for fiberglass molds. The epoxy resin-based fiberglass mold market is estimated to account for a major share, in terms of value and volume, of the overall market in 2019.
