Global Aramid Fibre Market Likely to be Driven by Applications Across Sectors

The global market for aramid fibres is expected to be driven by uses in multiple sectors including defence, automotive, aerospace, personal protection, etc. North America, Europe and Asia are projected to be key markets. “Aramid” stands for “aromatic polyamide”. Aromatic polyamides were first commercialized as meta-aramid fibres in the early 1960s; para-aramid fibres saw development in the 1960s and 1970s. Aramid fibres exhibit significant flexibility, strength and abrasion tolerance due to their chemical structure wherein the bonds within the chain molecules align along the fibre axis. The robust bond between comparatively short molecules offers the fibre increased strength. Superior heat resistance, low inflammability, and superior resistance to organic solvents are other properties of aramid fibres. These properties enable several applications of aramid fibres, including air cargo containers, aquaculture nets, aramid honeycombs, armoured vehicles, ballistic protective vests, brakes, civil engineering products, composites, conveyor belts, cut-protection products, elastomer reinforcements, engineering plastics, flexible flowlines and umbilicals, friction paper, heat- and flame-resistant garments, helmets, mooring lines, optical fibre cables, parachute cords, ropes and cables, sealing materials, thermoplastic pipes, fireproof suits, tyres, etc. Major markets include aerospace, automotive, personal protection equipment, consumer products, mining, fibre optics, life protection, and ropes and cables. Common trade names for aramid fibres include Nomex and Kevlar by Dupont, and Twaron by Teijin.

 

Applications Across Sectors Likely to Boost Market Demand

Aramid fibre plays an important role in personal protection equipment (PPE) solutions. Front line workers across applications prefer aramid fibre garments as these offer better protection, are lightweight and comfortable. Aramid fibre garments are commonly found in law enforcement, emergency response and industrial manufacturing environments.

Aramid fibres offer durability, lightweight strength, stiffness, and thermal and fire protection in aircraft composites, enabling enhanced fuel efficiency and decreased operating and maintenance costs. Aircraft cabin floors, overhead bins and bulkheads developed with aramid fibre honeycomb cores help in reducing weight for aircraft manufacturers. Honeycomb also exhibits low electrical conductivity and high fire resistance, helping in adhering to set safety standards. Superior thermal and sound insulation also lead to better passenger comfort.
 
Aramid fibres are also used in landing gear doors, wing boxes and control surfaces, filament-wound pressure bottles, engine nacelles, engine containment rings, aircraft tyres, rotor blades, and spacecraft.

Aramid fibres are increasingly being used in automotive components, including filters, belts, gaskets, battery separators, etc. In NASCAR race car bodies, aramid fibre is replacing fibreglass-reinforced plastic. It is also used in the HANS Device that helps support the driver’s head and neck. Further, aramid fibre offers tyres better dimensional stability, even at higher temperatures and speeds, and superior puncture, abrasion and tear resistance.

Lightweight armour solutions for vehicles offer protection against ballistic attacks.  Aramid fibres offer strength to motorcycle gear, workout equipment and luggage. 
In the mining industry, aramid fibres are used to build lighter, stronger and longer-lasting conveyor belts.

Aramid fibres offer enhanced strength to fibre optic cables, and ropes, lines and cables.

 

Technological Advancements and Innovative Solutions Likely to Stimulate Market

Leading firms are engaged in continual R&D to come up with superior products to offer lighter, stronger and longer-lasting solutions to address the needs of the industry. Novel, enhanced solutions offering better protection from chemical, thermal, electric, and mechanical hazards are expected to stimulate market growth.
