Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) Grating Market size is forecast to reach $691.3 million by 2025, after growing at a CAGR of 5.1% during 2020-2025. With the rise in the industries such as refineries, chemical industry, oil & petroleum industry, offshore platforms, Marine & shipping and others, the consumption of FRP grating will increase and drive the demand for FRP grating market. As FRP grating is ecofriendly and recyclable also, therefore public are showing interest in sustainable and environment-friendly products, which will further enhance the overall market demand for fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) grating during the forecast period.
Key Takeaways
- Asia-Pacific dominates the FRP Grating market, as it has a larger number of industries, which consumes FRP grating.
- Properties such as slip-resistant, anti-corrosion, chemical resistant, no maintenance, and economical are majorly driving the demand for fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) grating market.
- Increasing adoption of sustainable and environmentally friendly products will increase the market demand for fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) grating in the near future.
- Airborne fiber may be an issue for asthma sufferers, as FRP gratings need to be re-gel coated about every five years and can result in airborne fibers.
Type – Segment analysis
Pultruded FRP grating holds the largest market for FRP grating market. High quality, well designed, Pultruded Grating, which resembles metal bar grating, is stronger, lighter, equally corrosion-resistant, and in most cases, is less expensive than moulded grating. Because of these such qualities on comparison with moulded FRP grating, most of the industries prefers pultruded FRP grating. One of the main advantages of FRP Grating is that it includes anti-rust properties, owing to this, FRP grating is widely used over steel. That’s why we observe the usage of FRP grating in walkways, docks, and handrails around saltwater sides. FRP grating includes other characteristics such as very low maintenance and higher durability.
Resin – Segment analysis
Phenolic FRP grating is the mostly used resin in both moulded and pultruded FRP grating as it has properties such as good corrosion resistance and excellent fire & smoke resistant. Phenolic grating is an alternative to maintenance-intensive metal grating for applications where conventional pultruded grating cannot be used. The phenolic grating can withstand high temperatures and direct flame while maintaining its structural integrity. This feature makes the grating ideal for a wide range of offshore, marine, transportation and industrial applications.
Applications – Segment analysis
Walkways/Walk Paths is the largest application for fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) grating market, as it is seen across various industries such as chemical, Power Plants and others. FRP grating is vastly used for walkways and owning to its highly flammable resistant property, FRP is majorly preferable over steel. FRP Rooftop Walkway System, which is specially designed for Safe & Controlled roof access, provides non-slip, safe and all-weather access for maintenance of solar panels and frequently accessed areas without any un-necessary damage on roofs. Walkways act as designated routes, which are very crucial to keep people away from all hazards. Compared to the metal grating, FRP floor grating or FRP walkway grating is lightweight and easy to install.
End-Use – Segment Analysis
Industrial holds the largest share in the Fiberglass market due to increasing preference over metal substitutes. Due to its wide range of properties, the demand for FRP grating is growing drastically. Industries such as petrochemical, oil & gas, pharmaceutical with others are preferring the use of FRP grating for walkways in their industries instead of steel, as they are less expensive and due to its other various properties such as slip-resistant, anti-corrosion, chemical resistant, no maintenance, they were preferred over steel. FRP Walkways are mostly manufactured in yellow color, as identification of specific physical hazards including falling, tripping and for designating caution.
Geography – Segment Analysis
APAC has dominated the fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) grating market with a share of more than xx%, as the countries such as India, China, Japan, with others have industries on a larger scale which uses and manufactures FRP grating. As these countries include large area, industries are getting set up in these countries rapidly. And even due to some governments’ regulations towards new startups, the establishment of industries are continuously growing among these countries, owing to this, the demand for Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) grating will also grow. The increasing use of FRP grating in various applications to ensure long-term durability and increase the service life of infrastructure is expected to drive the growth of the market in Asia-Pacific.
Drivers – Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) grating Market
- Increasing demand for sustainable and environmentally friendly products
Stringent Government regulations toward using sustainable products have, likely aid the market demand for fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) grating, as they are eco-friendly. It has some other characteristics also such as very good durability, even after that it is recyclable also.
Challenges - Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) Grating market
- Airborne fibers during re-gel coatings
Fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) grating needs to be re-gel coated about every five years and can result in airborne fibers which may be an issue to asthma sufferers. This process needs to be done in a very cautious manner. So, this can become a small hurdle for the Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) Grating market.
