纖維強化塑膠(FRP)橋樑市場:現狀分析與預測(2024-2032年)Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) Bridges Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2024-2032) |
預計預測期內(2024-2032 年),纖維增強塑膠 (FRP) 橋樑市場將以 6.5% 的顯著複合年增長率成長。纖維增強塑膠 (FRP) 橋樑市場受到對耐腐蝕且只需極少維護的堅固橋樑結構日益增長的需求的推動。傳統的鋼筋混凝土橋樑容易因腐蝕、疲勞等環境因素而老化,造成巨大的維修成本和使用壽命的縮短。此外,《兩黨基礎設施法案》(BIL)和不斷增加的政府基礎設施投資正在促進美國各地迅速採用 FRP 橋樑,從而增加建築業的需求。人們對加速橋樑建設 (ABC) 施工方法的興趣日益濃厚,增加了對 FRP 材料的需求。這些材料可以實現快速預製安裝,從而減少施工過程中對道路的干擾。環境法規和永續發展措施支持 FRP 成為環保解決方案,因為它具有更長的使用壽命、可回收性和減少排放的特性。
例如,2022 年 6 月,美國基礎設施法案將纖維增強聚合物 (FRP) 複合材料等創新材料及其性能優勢納入主流採購流程。隨著施工季節的到來,Creative Composites Group(CCG,美國賓夕法尼亞州阿爾姆班克)宣布,計劃於 2022 年在華盛頓州、特拉華州和新墨西哥州安裝五個 FRP 橋面項目。
依纖維類型劃分,FRP橋樑市場主要依賴玻璃纖維。玻璃纖維是一種經濟實惠的選擇,具有高強度重量比、耐腐蝕和易於製造等特性。玻璃纖維複合材料在人行橋和短跨度車橋領域佔據主導地位,因為它們提供了性能和價值的最佳平衡,吸引了橋樑工程師和基礎設施開發商。然而,由於碳纖維優異的強度、剛度和輕質特性使其適用於廣泛的車輛橋樑應用,預計未來將成長最快。此外,成本削減技術和混合複合材料技術的進步使得碳纖維在大型基礎設施建設中的應用更加實用。隨著對耐用、高效橋樑的需求不斷增加,對高潛力材料的需求也不斷增加。
依樹脂類型劃分,乙烯基酯樹脂佔據市場主導地位。這種樹脂類型具有出色的耐腐蝕性、高機械強度和耐用性,超越其他樹脂類型。儘管環境條件惡劣,但該材料仍具有很強的耐濕性和耐化學性,因此在人行天橋和車輛過道中廣泛應用,使其成為沿海地區和潮濕環境中的潛在選擇。乙烯基酯基 FRP 複合材料在各種橋樑應用中發揮重要作用,因為它們具有良好的纖維-樹脂黏合性,可提高結構強度並延長使用壽命。然而,由於聚酯樹脂價格低廉、易於製造,且對輕質 FRP 應用的需求不斷增加,預計未來將快速成長。聚合物化學的廣泛研究以及混合樹脂的開發使得聚酯樹脂能夠提高小跨度人行天橋和模組化橋樑結構的耐久性,這可能會在預測期內推動市場成長。
按橋樑類型劃分,人行天橋佔據最大的市場佔有率,因為它們具有成本效益、易於安裝且承重要求低的特點。由於其重量輕且耐腐蝕的特性,FRP 非常適合用於人行天橋、自行車橋、公園人行道等,因此無需對鋼和混凝土結構進行維護。玻璃鋼人行天橋因其永續性、可快速建造、外觀美觀等特點,在城市專案中越來越受歡迎。此外,政府修復老化交通基礎設施的努力預計將在未來幾年以最快的速度推動車輛橋樑的需求。交通運輸領域對耐用、長壽命橋樑的需求日益增長,推動了市場成長的潛力。
為了更了解 FRP 橋樑市場的成長,我們根據其在北美(美國、加拿大和歐洲其他地區)、歐洲(德國、法國、英國、西班牙、義大利和歐洲其他地區)、亞太地區(中國、日本、印度和亞太其他地區)和世界其他地區的全球採用情況對其進行了分析。預計亞太地區未來將實現最高成長。這種成長是由不斷加強的永續發展努力和環境效益所推動的,其中 FRP 橋樑在透過減少材料浪費、能源消耗和生命週期排放來促進綠色建築方面發揮關鍵作用。

FRP bridges use high-strength fibers such as glass, carbon fibers, aramid, and basalt fibers combined with a polymer resin matrix. Their strong durability along with corrosion resistance capabilities, and ideal strength-weights ratio enables the appropriate use of these bridges under different traffic conditions. FRP bridges outperform steel and concrete bridges because they resist rusting and need small maintenance while retaining superior longevity, especially when exposed to harsh coastal conditions or severe temperature zones. These materials weigh less, which enhances installation speed while decreasing the final project costs. FRP bridges serve as important structures in accelerated bridge construction (ABC) operations, in the rehabilitation of outdated infrastructure, and in areas that cannot support heavy construction materials. Rising sustainable infrastructure spending and composite technology development have made FRP bridges the optimal solution for present-day low-maintenance budget-friendly bridge systems.
The Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) Bridges Market is expected to grow with a significant CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period (2024-2032). The Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) bridges market is driven by the growing demand for strong bridge structures that can resist corrosion and require minimal maintenance. Conventional steel and concrete bridges experience degradation through environmental factors due to corrosion and fatigue that further results in huge repair expenses and reduced operational periods. Moreover, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and growing government infrastructure investments drive the quick adoption of FRP bridges across the United States leading to its increased demand in the construction industry. The growing interest in accelerated bridge construction (ABC) methods increased the demand for FRP materials as these materials allow rapid prefabricated installations that create fewer road disruptions during the construction process. Environmental regulations and sustainability initiatives support FRP as an eco-friendly solution as it extends service life and offers recycling capability and reduced emissions.
For instance, in June 2022, the Infrastructure Bill in the United States, introduced innovative materials like fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites and their performance advantages into mainstream procurement processes. With construction season undergoing, Creative Composites Group (CCG, Alum Bank, Penn., U.S.) announced five FRP bridge deck projects slated for installation in the year 2022 in Washington State, Delaware, and New Mexico.
Based on the fiber type segment, the FRP bridge market primarily depends on glass fiber because it offers both affordable options and high strength-to-weight ratio together with corrosion resistance and simple manufacturing methods. Glass fiber composites dominate the pedestrian bridge and short-span vehicular bridge sector because they strike an optimal performance-valuation balance which attracts bridge engineers and infrastructure developers to use them. However, carbon fiber is expected to show the fastest growth in the future due to its superior strength and stiffness along with its lightweight properties, which make it suitable for extensive vehicular bridge applications. Moreover, the advancement of cost-reduction technology and hybrid composite technology has made carbon fiber more practical for use in large infrastructure work. As the requirement for efficient bridges with extended service life is increasing the demand for high-potential materials is also increasing.
Based on resin type, vinyl ester resin dominates the market as this type offers exceptional corrosion protection, high mechanical strength, and durability attributes beyond other resin types. The material sees extensive application in pedestrian bridges and vehicular crossings since it has strong resistance against moisture and chemicals despite harsh environmental conditions thus acts as a potential option for coastal areas and humid environments. The better fiber-resin bond created by using vinyl ester-based FRP composites improves structural strength and increases service lifetime thus making them important for different bridge applications. However, in the future, polyester resin is expected to grow rapidly because it is affordable, easy to manufacture, and has increasing demand in lightweight FRP applications. Substantial research in polymer chemistry together with hybrid resin development makes polyester resins more durable for small-span pedestrian bridges and modular bridge structures which will fuel their market growth in the forecasted period.
Based on the bridge type, the pedestrian bridges demonstrate maximum market share due to their cost-effectiveness, easy-to-install capabilities, and minimal load-bearing requirements. FRP shows excellent application in footbridges, cycling bridges as well as in park walkways because of their lightweight properties and corrosion resistance, thus eliminating further maintenance of steel and concrete structures. Making pedestrian bridges out of FRP has become popular in urban projects because these bridges offer both sustainability and quick construction as well as an attractive appearance. Moreover, the demand for vehicular bridges is projected to increase at the fastest rate in upcoming years due to governmental efforts to repair aging transportation infrastructure. The rising need for durable and long-lasting bridges in the transportation sector is boosting their market growth potential.
For a better understanding of the market growth of FRP bridges are analyzed based on their worldwide adoption in regions such as North America (U.S., Canada, and the Rest of North America), Europe (Germany, France, U.K., Spain, Italy, Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, Rest of Asia-Pacific), Rest of World. The Asia-Pacific region will have the highest future growth. This growth is driven by increasing sustainability activities and environmental benefits, where FRP bridges play a key role in promoting green construction by reducing material waste, energy consumption, and lifecycle emissions.
