The Global Kevlar Fiber Market Size is valued at 450.91 million in 2022 and is predicted to reach 682.65 million by the year 2031 at an 4.92% CAGR during the forecast period for 2023-2031.
Key Industry Insights & Findings from the Report:
- The demand for Kevlar in the defence and security sector, driven by increasing military spending and growing security concerns globally, is a significant driver of the market.
- The automotive industry is increasingly adopting Kevlar fibres for various applications, including tyres, brake pads, and body armour, due to their high strength, heat resistance, and durability.
- North America dominated the market and accounted for a global revenue share in 2023.
- The high production costs can limit their adoption, especially in price-sensitive markets or applications where cost-effectiveness is paramount.
The fiber kevlar, which belongs to the family of aliphatic polyamides, combines high stiffness, tensile physical, durability, and thermal stability. Due to strict government requirements regarding worker safety, kevlar fiber market expansion is propelled by rising product consumption from various industries, including healthcare, oil & gas, manufacturing, and others.
Many nations' rising defense expenditures and the aerospace industry's rising need for kevlar fiber are anticipated to fuel the market's expansion. The market, gained from a significant rise in market growth from the medical industry. A rise in drilling activities both onshore and offshore, as well as the development of the shale oil and gas industry, are predicted to enhance demand for the product.
Additionally, as a result of temporary production halts in end-user industries like automobiles, aircraft, and semiconductors during the pandemic scenario, there was a decrease in the requirement for kevlar fiber-based products, which in turn had a negative influence on the demand. However, governmental limitations led to the temporary closure of many different industries, reducing the product market.
