Opportunities in the global fiber sizing market to reach $687 million by 2024


According to a new market report published by Lucintel, the future of the global fiber sizing market looks promising with opportunities in glass, carbon, aramid, and natural fiber production. The global fiber sizing market is expected to reach an estimated $687 million by 2024 with a CAGR of 3.3% from 2019 to 2024. The major drivers for this market are increasing demand for reinforced composite materials and the performance benefits of sizing in fiber.

In this market, film formers, coupling agents, and additives & modifiers are used to produce sizing formulation for glass, carbon, aramid, and natural fibers. Lucintel forecasts that sizing for glass fiber will remain the largest segment by value and volume. Sizing for carbon fiber is expected to witness the highest growth over the forecast period due to the growing demand for carbon fiber in different end use industries.

Within the fiber sizing market, transportation will remain the largest end use industry by value and volume. Wind Energy is expected to witness the highest growth over the forecast period due to the growth in the demand for lightweight and high performance materials.

By type of film former, phenoxy will remain the largest segment by value and volume. PP based film former is expected to witness the highest growth over the forecast period due to the increasing use of thermoplastic composites.

Asia Pacific will remain the largest market for fiber sizing due to the presence of major glass and carbon fiber manufacturers in the region. ROW is expected to witness the highest growth rate over the forecast period due to increasing demand for composites.

An emerging trend, which has direct impact on the dynamics of the industry, includes development of sizing materials with low or no volatile organic compounds. Michelman, Evonik, Covestro, Hexion, AOC Aliancys, Polymer Chemistry Innovation Inc., and COIM are among the major suppliers of fiber sizing materials.
