The global glass fiber market, however, does face its own set of challenges. One of them is the competition posed by carbon fiber, which has better mechanical features than glass fiber and as a result, is witnessing an increase in demand.
Carbon fiber provides high tensile strength and can withstand high temperatures and is corrosion resistant, as well. Another benefit of carbon fiber is that it is lighter than glass fiber.
Carbon fiber, in its composite form, has been used in areas such as construction, transportation, and wind energy and such benefits of the material is expected to make it a suitable option for the production process, across various industries, in future as well.
The other challenge faced is the complicated manufacturing process of glass fibers, which often leads to reduced profit margins. This factor may pose a threat to the growth of the global glass fiber market, in future.
