Carbon Fiber is expected to have the highest growth of 10.2% from 2013 to 2018. The para aramids and meta aramids are expected to share together 18.6% of the revenue by 2018, growing at the rates of 6.9% and 4.9%, respectively between 2013 and 2018.
DuPont (U.S.), Teijin Limited (Japan), Toho Tenax (Japan), Toray Industries Inc. (Japan), Mitsubishi Rayon Co. Ltd (Japan), Royal DSM (The Netherlands), Honeywell International Inc. (U.S.), Owens Corning (U.S.), and Jushi Group (China) are the major active players in the specialty synthetic fibers and glass fiber market. These companies showed the highest strategy adoptions amongst other players in the global specialty synthetic fibers and glass fiber market.
From 2010 to 2013, new product launch/development was observed as the major growth strategy adopted by the specialty synthetic fibers and glass fiber companies, accounting for a share of 28% overall. In November 2013, DSM Dyneema unveiled new Dyneema Force Multiplier Technology products that offer improved performance up to 25% higher ballistic protection while decreasing weight by up to 20%. Similarly in September, 2013 Teijin Aramid developed Twaron T765, new fabric for anti-ballistic spall liner to safeguard military vehicles such as tanks, trucks, and armored personnel carriers and passengers in DESI show, London, U.K. The industry players are looking for acquisitions to increase the reach, and also enhance their penetration in the market. In May 2013, Owens Corning signed a deal with Japan based Tanaka Kikinzoku Kogyo K.K and Tanaka Kikinzoku International K. K. to buy Tanaka Kikinzoku (Suzhou) Co., Ltd (TKS), producer of glass fiber bushings and other parts.
