Glass fibers are
materials made from finely drawn strands of glass and are used primarily in the
manufacture of composite materials. The market for glass fibers is driven by
demand for lightweight, durable, and strong materials, particularly in the
automotive and construction sectors. Specialty synthetic fibers are engineered
fibers designed for specific applications, including high-performance textiles,
filtration, and industrial uses. These fibers are typically derived from
petroleum-based sources, such as polyester, nylon, aramid, and polyolefins.
The global
market for glass fibers and specialty synthetic fibers is projected to grow
steadily, driven by increasing demand in emerging economies, technological
advancements, and the rising need for high-performance materials in critical
industries.
