The glass fiber industry will accelerate its penetration into emerging fields
compared with foreign countries, China's glass fiber industry is still in the growth stage, and the proportion of demand in new energy and environmental protection fields such as wind power is significantly lower than the global average. However, with the adjustment of China's economic structure, glass fiber is expected to accelerate its penetration in emerging fields, thus ushering in a new round of high-speed growth
application requirements of glass fiber
glass fiber is an inorganic non-metallic material with excellent performance, such as lack of parts and looseness. Compared with organic fiber, it has high temperature resistance, non combustibility, corrosion resistance, good heat and sound insulation, high tensile strength, good electrical insulation, and the disadvantage is brittleness and poor wear resistance. There are many kinds of glass fibers. At present, there are more than 5000 kinds of carbon fibers in the world, with more than 6000 specifications and uses
glass fiber is usually used as reinforcing material in composites, electrical insulation material, thermal insulation material, circuit board and other fields of the national economy, mainly in construction, transportation, industrial equipment, etc
specifically, in the construction industry, glass fiber is widely used in cooling towers, water storage towers, bathtubs, doors and windows, safety helmets and ventilation equipment in toilets. In addition, because glass fiber is not easy to stain, heat insulation and non combustion, it is increasingly widely used in architectural decoration. The application of glass fiber in infrastructure mainly includes bridges, wharves, trestles and waterfront structures. Coastal and island buildings are vulnerable to seawater corrosion, which can give full play to the advantages of glass fiber materials
in terms of transportation, glass fiber is mainly used in aerospace industry, automobile and train manufacturing industry, and can also be used to make fishing boats. Its process is simple, corrosion prevention, low maintenance frequency and maintenance cost, and long service life
in the machinery industry, polystyrene plastics reinforced with glass fiber have greatly improved their mechanical properties, dimensional stability and heat and impact resistance. They are widely used in household appliance parts, casings, etc. Glass fiber reinforced POM is also widely used to replace non-ferrous metals and to manufacture transmission parts, such as bearings, gears and cams
chemical industry equipment is severely corroded, and the emergence of glass fiber has brought a bright prospect to the chemical industry. Glass fiber is mainly used to manufacture chemical equipment and accessories such as tanks, towers, pipelines, pumps, valves and fans. Glass fiber has corrosion resistance, high strength and long service life, but generally, it can only be used in the bending test of cemented carbide for low-pressure or atmospheric pressure equipment, and the temperature does not exceed 120 ℃. In addition, glass fiber has replaced asbestos to a large extent in terms of insulation, heat protection, reinforcement, filtration and other materials. At the same time, glass fiber has also been applied in the development of new energy, environmental protection, tourism, arts and crafts and many other aspects
market analysis of glass fiber
in terms of output, the data shows that the global output of glass fiber increased from 4.92 million tons in 2008 to 8.75 million tons in 2016, of which China is the main driving force behind the growth of global output of glass fiber. In 2016, China's glass fiber output was 6.33 million tons, accounting for 72.34% of the global glass fiber output
in terms of sales revenue, the data shows that in 2016, the sales revenue of China's glass fiber and glass fiber reinforced plastic products manufacturing industry was 256.238 billion yuan, an increase of 1.31% year-on-year. Among them, the glass fiber industry was 163.141 billion yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 2.06%; Glass fiber reinforced plastic was 93.097 billion yuan, an increase of 0.03% year on year
prospect expectation of glass fiber
with the continuous expansion of downstream application fields, the glass fiber industry is gradually smoothing out its periodicity. At present, downstream electronics, automobiles, rail transit and environmental protection are in an upward cycle, and wind power shows signs of warming up, with obvious demand side support
in addition, as China's economy enters the new normal, the process of economic growth has built a refined rectangular particle structure, which has changed from extensive to intensive and refined, which means that the permeability of glass fiber materials will mainly rely on the accelerated penetration of glass fiber composites in emerging fields
therefore, in the next five years, 8 The comparison table of ambient temperature force value of different models can be set (the following table shows that the growth rate of glass fiber industry will be higher than that of GDP, with an average annual growth rate of about 8%. By 2022, the market scale will exceed 400billion yuan
