North America Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Rebars Market to Grow at a CAGR of 10.5% to reach US$ 158.56 million from 2021 to 2028

The North America fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) rebars market is expected to grow from US$ 86.98 million in 2022 to US$ 158.56 million by 2028; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.5% from 2022 to 2028.

Increasing corrosion issues in conventional reinforcement techniques have enhanced product penetration in the infrastructure repairing industry. FRP rebars are composite materials and a noncorrosive and nonconductive alternative to steel for reinforcing structural concrete members. FRP rebars are manufactured using a variety of fibers in a polymer matrix. Glass fiber is the most popular; however, basalt and carbon fibers are also used in FRP rebars. The matrix is a thermoset compound, usually epoxy or vinyl ester, although other polymer matrices are also used. Glass, as a component, boost tensile strength, whereas other fibers provide increased durability and resistance to buckling and corrosion.

Increasing government spending on the construction of highways, bridges, and buildings and renovation of buildings with structural deficiencies are expected to boost the fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) rebars industry growth. Negative thermal conductivity offers zero stress while responding to temperature changes, which is expected to positively influence the North America fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) rebars market over the forecast period. Additional advantages of FRP rebars include excellent quality control with reduced transportation costs, which contribute to the product demand. Moreover, increasing acceptance and a corresponding demand for FRP rebars from North American countries such as the US and Canada are expected to fuel the market growth.

Market Insights

Proliferation of Construction Industry

The construction industry is one of the major contributors to the economic development of North America. It is flourishing rapidly due to increasing government support for infrastructure development across North America. For instance, in 2021, the government of Canada and Alberta invested US$ 187 million in highway development projects. Moreover, the Mexican government announced the initiative to attract foreign investors for 16 new highway projects with a total investment of US$ 4.6 billion in December 2020. FRP rebar can lower costs by reducing the workforce, decreasing installation charges, reducing the need for maintenance, and having a longer lifespan than many metals. It also has a high bearing impact threshold, which minimizes damage while loading or unloading material. Such benefits of FRP rebars and increasing government initiatives for infrastructure development are propelling the growth of the North America fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) rebars market.

Resin Type-Based Insights

Based on resin type, the North America fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) rebars market is segmented into vinyl ester, polyester, epoxy, and others. In 2021, the vinyl ester segment held the largest market share. Vinyl ester resins have high strength; high resistance to corrosion, fuels, chemicals, or vapors; and offer high mechanical toughness. They have great durability, heat resistance, and high tensile elongation strength. This resin can be impregnated with short glass fiber or carbon fiber to produce FRP rebars. The majority of the FRP rebar manufacturers use vinyl ester resin. The cost-effectiveness of vinyl ester has boosted the growth of the segment.
