根據Stratistics MRC預測,2024年全球鋼纖維市場規模將達19億美元,預計2030年將達到27億美元,預測期內年複合成長率為6.5%。
鋼纖維是長而薄的鋼帶,用作混凝土和其他複合材料的增強材料。它們通常由優質鋼製成,並根據應用切割或機械加工成 0.5 至 2 英寸的短長度。鋼纖維具有更高的拉伸強度、韌性和耐用性,使其成為高性能建築計劃的理想選擇。在鋼筋混凝土中,鋼纖維可以橋接應力引起的裂縫,分散負荷並減少裂縫擴展,提高結構完整性和使用壽命。
對高性能混凝土的需求不斷成長
隨著高性能混凝土的日益普及,鋼纖維對於改善混凝土性能、彌合微裂紋、提高抗張強度和防止裂紋擴展非常重要。隨著橋樑、高速公路、工業地板和高層建築等基礎設施計劃變得更加複雜,對鋼骨混凝土的需求激增,鋼纖維的使用量大幅增加,推動了市場的成長。
意識和技術專長有限
對建築中鋼纖維的誤解可能會阻礙其充分發揮市場潛力,特別是在傳統建築方法占主導地位的地區。建築專業人士認為鋼纖維混凝土(SFRC)複雜且昂貴,這可能會阻礙相關人員實現長期成本和性能優勢,例如減少維護和提高結構耐久性,並阻礙市場成長。
快速都市化和基礎設施計劃
都市化通常需要建造高層建築、橋樑、隧道和道路,需要高性能混凝土(HPC)來承受環境壓力和磨損。鋼纖維增強了混凝土的機械性能,提高了其抗張強度、抗裂性和耐久性,使鋼纖維混凝土(SFRC)對需要持久材料選擇的城市和計劃計劃具有吸引力,進一步推動了市場成長。
相容性問題
鋼纖維在混凝土混合物中的相容性對於其有效摻入非常重要。不適當的平衡不能確保均勻分佈和正確黏合,導致性能不一致、拉伸強度降低和耐用性降低。相容性差會增加混凝土配合比設計的複雜性,並增加工程師和施工專業人員的成本,他們必須投入更多的時間和資源來最佳化配合比。
COVID-19 的影響
COVID-19 大流行對鋼纖維市場產生了重大影響,導致供應鏈中斷、製造延誤,並因停工和限制而減少建設活動。但隨著經濟開始復甦,基礎建設和建設計劃投資增加,市場出現復甦跡象。這場大流行凸顯了鋼鐵和紡織業對有彈性的供應鏈和適應性的需求。
預計鉤式細分市場在預測期內將成為最大
鉤式因其優異的黏合強度和抗裂性而非常適合混凝土加固,預計在預測期內將達到最大值。均勻分佈拉應力,提高混凝土的抗張強度、韌性和耐久性。這導致對人行道、高層建築和工業地板等應用的需求增加。隨著建築計劃尋求經濟有效的方法來提高混凝土性能,鋼纖維市場日益擴大。
預計熔融萃取物領域在預測期內年複合成長率最高
熔體萃取領域預計在預測期內年複合成長率最高,因為它包括以受控方式熔化和萃取鋼鐵材料以形成具有一致直徑、強度和機械性能的纖維的過程。其結果是獲得性能均勻的優質鋼纖維,提高混凝土的增強性能。該過程提供了增強的抗張、抗衝擊和抗裂性能,提高了其可靠性和市場需求,增加了其在需要耐用、高性能水泥建築物的建築計劃中的採用。
由於基礎設施計劃以及住宅和商業建築方面的大量投資,預計北美,特別是美國和加拿大,在預測期內將佔據最大的市場佔有率。對耐用高性能混凝土的需求推動鋼纖維市場的成長。鋼纖維具有增強的拉伸強度、裂縫抑制和抗衝擊性,這對於現代基礎設施確保持久、高品質的建築非常重要。
預計亞太地區在預測期內將維持最高的年複合成長率,該地區各國政府將大力投資基礎設施發展,作為刺激成長和改善互聯互通的經濟戰略的一部分。鋼纖維因其製造堅固、抗裂混凝土的能力而受到特別重視,這與建造永續和有彈性的基礎設施的重點是一致的。目的是改善公共交通、道路和能源計劃的政府政策進一步推動了鋼纖維高性能混凝土市場。
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Steel Fiber Market is accounted for $1.9 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $2.7 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period. Steel fibers are small, elongated pieces of steel used as reinforcement in concrete and other composite materials. They are typically manufactured from high-quality steel and are cut or processed into short lengths, ranging from 0.5 to 2 inches, depending on the intended application. Steel fibers provide enhanced tensile strength, toughness, and durability, making them ideal for high-performance construction projects. In reinforced concrete, steel fibers bridge stress-induced cracks, distributing loads and reducing crack propagation, improving structural integrity and lifespan.
Increased demand for high-performance concrete
The increasing adoption of high-performance concrete, as steel fibers are crucial for improving concrete properties, bridge microcracks, enhance tensile strength, and prevent crack propagation. As infrastructure projects become more complex, such as bridges, highways, industrial flooring, and high-rise buildings, the demand for steel-reinforced concrete solutions has surged, leading to a significant increase in steel fiber use boosting the market growth.
Limited awareness and technical expertise
Misconceptions about steel fibers in construction can hinder the market's full potential, especially in regions where traditional methods are dominant. Construction professionals may view steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) as complex and expensive, hindering stakeholders from realizing its long-term cost and performance benefits like reduced maintenance and improved structural durability hampering the market growth.
Rapid urbanization and infrastructure projects
Urbanization often necessitates the construction of high-rise buildings, bridges, tunnels, and roads, necessitating high-performance concrete (HPC) that can withstand environmental stress and wear. Steel fibers enhance concrete's mechanical properties, providing increased tensile strength, crack resistance, and durability, making steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) an attractive option for urban and infrastructure projects requiring long-lasting materials which further encourage the growth of the market.
Compatibility issues
The compatibility of steel fibers in concrete mixes is crucial for their effective incorporation. Poor balance ensures uniform distribution and proper bonding, leading to inconsistent performance, reduced tensile strength, and compromised durability. Poor compatibility increases the complexity of concrete mix design, increasing costs for engineers and construction professionals who must invest more time and resources to optimize the mix.
Covid-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the steel fiber market, causing disruptions in the supply chain, manufacturing delays, and a decline in construction activities due to lockdowns and restrictions. However, as economies began to recover, the market showed signs of rebound with increased investments in infrastructure and construction projects. The pandemic underscored the need for resilient supply chains and adaptability in the steel fiber industry.
The hooked segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The hooked is expected to be the largest during the forecast period as they are highly desirable in concrete reinforcement due to their excellent bond strength and crack resistance. They distribute tensile stresses uniformly, improving concrete's tensile strength, toughness, and durability. This leads to increased demand in applications like pavements, high-rise buildings, and industrial floors. The steel fiber market is growing as construction projects seek cost-effective ways to enhance concrete performance.
The melt extract segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The melt extract segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period as the process involves melting steel and extracting it in a controlled manner to form fibers with consistent diameter, strength, and mechanical properties. This results in high-quality steel fibers with uniform characteristics, improving concrete reinforcement performance. This process boosts market credibility and demand, as it enhances tensile, impact, and crack resistance, leading to increased adoption in construction projects requiring durable, high-performing concrete structures.
North America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to North America, particularly the U.S. and Canada has seen substantial investments in infrastructure projects and residential and commercial construction. The demand for durable, high-performance concrete has fuelled the growth of the steel fiber market, as these fibers provide enhanced tensile strength, crack control, and impact resistance, which are essential for modern infrastructure ensuring long-lasting and high-quality construction.
Asia Pacific is projected to hold the highest CAGR over the forecast period due to governments across Asia Pacific that have been investing heavily in infrastructure development as part of their economic strategies to stimulate growth and improve connectivity. Steel fibers are particularly valued for their ability to create strong, crack-resistant concrete, aligning with the increased focus on building sustainable and resilient infrastructure. Government policies aimed at improving public transport, roads, and energy projects further drive the market for high-performance concrete reinforced with steel fibers.
