What is GFRP?

Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) is a heavy-duty composite reinforcement rod that has proven to be an economic alternative to traditional steel reinforcement rods, giving structures a much longer live at an overall lower cost.

GFRP is a structural ribbed reinforcement rod manufactured from high strength and corrosion proof glass fiber, impregnated and coated with extremely durable polymer-based epoxy rosin. Its unique properties are ideal for any harsh and corrosive environment. GFRP is impervious to moisture and highly resistant to chemical acids and alkaline bases, making it ideal for engineering structures where weather and corrosion are major factors.

You may not know this, but Glass fiber is one of the most common reinforcing elements used in commercial and industrial composites. Glass fiber properties such as high strength, flexibility, durability, stability, light-weight, and resistance to heat, temperature, and moisture make glass fiber an essential raw material for GFRP Composites that are used in variety of applications. Glass fiber accounts for about 90% of the reinforcements used in composite consumption, globally. Most of the GFRP Composites are used in transportation and infrastructure & construction sectors. The demand for renewable energy, in the form of wind turbines, demand for light-weight fuel efficient aircrafts & cars, and the demand for GFRP pipe, tank and other corrosion resistant equipment are major drivers increasing its demand in the glass fiber reinforced plastic composites market during the coming years.

The global GFRP Composites market is dominated by Asia-Pacific and North America, accounting for 67% of the overall market in 2013. Country wise, China is the leading consumer of GFRP Composites products globally, and is also the largest supplier estimated to grow at a CAGR more than the global average, till 2019. China and India have enormous potential and are the fastest growing markets for GFRP Composites in the Asia-Pacific as well as globally. The U.S. and European countries are leading in research and development of high-performance glass fiber products. Countries like Russia, EU; Germany, France, Italy, U.K., and Spain are the key markets in the European GFRP composites market and constitute majority of the market size.

GFRP Composite Rebar is now beginning to make a strong foothold in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
