Global FRP Bridge Market Definition

FRP Bridges are structures prepared using fiber-reinforced polymers. Fiber-reinforced polymers use fibers to increase the structural integrity of polymers, thus offering a lightweight yet structurally-sound material to manufacture bridges and other similar structures. In general, fiber-reinforced polymers are manufactured using glass fibers or carbon fibers. It uses vinyl ester, polyester, or other resin types as a polymer base. Pultrusion is the most widely used manufacturing process for FRP products.

In general, bridges and other support structures are manufactured using materials like steel, aluminum, concrete, etc. However, these materials are expensive to procure and heavier to handle, which exponentially increases operational expenses. FRP products are potential alternatives to these materials as they are cheaper to produce, have great tensile strength, and are lightweight for easy handling.

Global FRP Bridge Market Overview

The global FRP bride market is expanding due to growth factors like the structural benefits of using FRP products, rising construction activities, and increasing demand for FRP products in industries like automotive and aerospace. FRP products offer immense benefits for industrial applications. They have an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, enabling them to support crucial structures like bridges, decks, and rebars. They also are resistant to chemical corrosion, which is the leading reason behind the shortening of the lifespan of bridges.

They are sufficiently lightweight compared to commonly-used materials like steel, aluminum, and concrete. Because of these benefits, FRP products are in huge demand in industries like automotive, construction, and aerospace. With the growing population, construction activities in cities are increasing in developed and developing countries. Skyscrapers are the preferred buildings to accommodate more people in a limited space. FRP bridges and decks are extremely helpful during the construction of skyscrapers and other similar constructions in supporting workers at elevated heights.

Global FRP Bridge Market Segmentation Analysis

The Global FRP Bridge Market has distinct segments based on Fiber Type, Resin Type, Manufacturing Process, and Geography.

FRP Bridge Market, By Fiber Type

• Glass Fiber
• Carbon Fiber

Based on fiber type, we have segmented the global market for FRP bridges into glass fiber and carbon fiber. The glass fiber segment exerted greater control over the global FRP bridge market by fiber type. There are several benefits of using glass fibers, including cost-effectivity and easy availability in the market. Glass fibers also have exponential strength and are sufficiently resistant to chemical corrosion. These benefits are contributing to the expansion of the glass fiber segment.

FRP Bridge Market, By Resin Type

• Vinyl Ester
• Polyester
• Others

Based on resin type, the global market for FRP bridges is segmented into vinyl ester, polyester, and others. The polyester segment showcased staggering growth during the forecast period, generating the highest revenue compared to the other segments. Polyester resin offers great strength, resistance to chemical corrosion, and chemical stability, everything at a much affordable cost. Because of this, the demand for polyester is significantly higher compared to other resin types. However, due to the greater tensile strength of vinyl ester, its market demand is increasing rapidly.

FRP Bridge Market, By Manufacturing Process

• Pultrusion
• Hand Lay-Up
