Top 6 Companies Transforming the Global Aramid Fibre Market

Teijin Limited, DuPont de Nemours, Inc., Huvis Corporation, Shenma Industrial Co., Ltd., Kolon Industries, Inc., and Kermel, among others, are the major players in the global aramid fibre market.

The global aramid fibre market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.5% in the forecast period of 2022-2027. As per the analysis of Expert Market Research, the market is expected to be driven by the increasing demand for personal protective equipment.

The high mechanical strength and low molecular weight of aramid fibres are bolstering its demand to provide high resistance against organic solvent and abrasion. The increasing use of aramid fibres in various applications, including armour and clothing, among others, is propelling the growth of the market. As aramid fibre is flame-resistant, safe, and protective, it is increasingly used in the manufacturing of lightweight personal protective equipment in the military sector. Moreover, the enhanced dimensional stability of aramid fibres makes them ideal for the manufacturing of body armours.

With the growing concerns regarding the use of asbestos owing to its association with pulmonary diseases, the demand for aramid fibres as their substitutes in the manufacturing of brake lines and other products is increasing. In addition, aramid fibres are increasingly used in various applications in the automotive sector. With the robust growth of the marine sector, the use of aramid fibres in marine applications such as form sailing ropes and sail clothes, among others, owing to their excellent strength and low weight is increasing. The rapid urbanisation and industrialisation in both developing and developed countries are expected to increase the demand for aramid fibres in various end-use sectors in the forecast period.
