Market Restraints and Challenges
The key restraints and challenges in Aramid Fiber market are as follows: Aramid fibers are expensive as compared to other synthetic fibers. This makes them less affordable for many applications. Aramid fibers have poor resistance to UV radiation. This limits their use in outdoor applications. Aramid fibers are also flammable, which can limit their use in certain applications.
Global Aramid Fiber Market Segmental Overview
The report analyses the global Aramid Fiber market based on type, application, and region
Global Aramid Fiber Market by Type
Based on type, the market is segmented as Para-aramid Fiber, and Meta-aramid Fiber. Among these Para-aramid Fiber segment accounted for xx% market share in 2022. Para-Aramid is an aromatic polyamide distinguished by long, rigid polymer crystalline chains. The major drivers for this market are the increasing usage of para-aramid fiber in brake pads, clutches, transmission belts, gaskets, linings, and tires in automotive and the growing demand for protective clothing in defense and industrial sectors. Also, the increasing utilization of para-aramid fiber as an alternative to asbestos and steel in military and aerospace applications for ballistic grade body armor fabric is expected to fuel the market growth during the forecast period. Furthermore, stringent government norms regarding the safety of employees at the workplace and large penalties for non-compliance with these standards is also anticipated to contribute to the para-aramid fiber industry growth during the forecast period.
However, the unremitting demand from the relatively unaffected defense and electrical & telecommunications industries is expected to be the redeeming grace for the aramid fiber market, indemnifying a portion of the losses incurred. The unwavering demand from the largely unaffected defense and electrical & telecommunications industries, on the other hand, is expected to be the aramid fiber market’s saving grace, compensating for some of the losses experienced.
Global Aramid Fiber Market by Application
Based on application, the market is segmented as Security & Protection, Frictional Materials, Industrial Filtration, Optical Fibers, Rubber Reinforcement, Tire Reinforcement, Electrical Insulation and Others. The security & protection segment led the market and accounted for more than xx% share of the global revenue in 2022. Increasing use of the product in bullet-resistant & protective clothing, stab-resistant products such as helmets and protective gloves, is projected to benefit the growth of the application segment. Aramid fiber is increasingly used in aerospace components such as primary wing, and fuselage structures in new generation aircraft, landing gear doors, and leading & trailing edge panels. The properties of the product including its superior strength, impact resistance, and low weight are projected to result in high product consumption.
Geographical Analysis of Global Aramid Fiber Market
Region-wise, it is studied across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World. Europe accounted for largest revenue share in 2022. Germany leads the European automotive market, with 41 assembly and engine production plants that contribute to one-third of the total automobile production in Europe. Germany is one of the most important places for the automotive industry to make things. It is home to a wide range of manufacturers, including those who make equipment, materials, and parts; engines; and those who put the whole system together. According to the OICA, the total number of cars and light commercial vehicles (LCV) produced in Germany amounted to about 3.74 million units in 2020 and reached 3.31 million units in 2021, with a decline rate of 13%. The country has been witnessing this decline in automotive production over the past few years. This is mostly because of the high costs, the move of production to other countries (like China), and the new WLTP emission control rules, which made it hard for many companies to register their new products because they couldn’t meet the requirements.
Major Players in the Global Aramid Fiber Market
The overall competitive rivalry remains moderately high in the market studied. The growing presence of big players in the industry is expected to intensify competitive rivalry during the forecast period. The global Bioactive Ingredients Market report includes players such as Rohtex GmbH (Germany), DuPont De Numerous, Inc. (US), Huvis Corporation (South Korea), Hyosung Corp. (South Korea), Kermel (France), Kolon Industries Inc. (South Korea), SRO Aramid (Jiangsu) Co. Ltd. (China), Teijin Ltd. (Japan), Toray Industries, Inc. (Japan), and Yantai Tayho Advanced Materials Co., Ltd. (China) among others.
COVID-19 Impact:
The market was negatively impacted by COVID-19, owing to a lack of demand from the industrial sector. During the pandemic scenario, end-user industries such as automotive, aerospace, and electronics halted their production temporarily, leading to a decrease in demand for products made up of aramid fibers. However, in 2021, the production activities registered positive growth, leading to a recovery in the demand for aramid fibers. During the time frame of the forecast, the market is also expected to grow in a positive way.
Recent Developments:
In June 2022, Teijin Aramid B.V. introduced the Woven Matrix concept for the easy manufacturing of various ballistic protection solutions. The company’s high-performance para-aramid, Twaron, is used to create the woven matrix. The new fabric-based matrix technology would help the company assist its defense and security customers in streamlining their manufacturing processes by reducing the need for pre-pegging activities.
In May 2022, Taekwang Industry announced an investment of USD 112 million to boost aromatic polyamide (aramid) production from 1,500 tons to 5,000 tons per annum by 2025.
