Basalt Fiber Market By Product Type (Roving, Fabric, Mesh and Grids, Chopped Strands, and Others), By Usage (Composites, and Non-Composites), By End User (Automotive & Transportation, Electrical & Electronics, Marine, Construction & Infrastructure, Wind Energy, and Others), and Geography  

Basalt Fiber Market size was valued at USD 125.3 million in 2023 and is poised to grow at a significant CAGR of 12.8% over 2024-2030. Basalt fiber is mentioned as a form of fiber-reinforced polymer production using enormously fine fibers of basalt and minerals such as plagioclase, pyroxene, and olivine. It is generally processed through pultrusion, prepreg process, compression resin molding, and vacuum infusion to find continuous or discrete basalt fiber. The basalt fiber market is primarily growing due to the rise in demand from applications from automotive & transportation, construction & infrastructure, wind energy, electrical & electronics, and industries to making fireproof automobile and aerospace textiles, filament winding of pipes, tanks, and cylinders, reinforced bioplastics, tunnels geogrids, and refractory bricks. The significant properties of basalt fibers such as thermal stability, sound insulation, heat, vibration, resistance, non-corrosiveness, and durability also propel the market demand.

Furthermore, the growing adoption of environmentally and easily recyclable materials is a major market growth opportunity for basalt fiber. However, competition with matured products such as E-glass is restraining the market growth. However, during COVID-19, with certain restrictions, basalt fiber market demand had negatively affected by reduced from various industries globally. Construction & infrastructure, and automotive & transportation being the main consumers of basalt fiber have recorded the adverse and abrupt consequences of the pandemic in 2020. With recuperating end-use industries, the demand for basalt fiber is expected to display significant growth during the forecasted years.
