The increased demand for lightweight and flexible materials from the automotive and military & defense industries for various applications is driving the market. Furthermore, the regulations relating to reducing carbon emissions compel several industry players to look for alternative materials that are lightweight, strong, and fuel-efficient. This is expected to drive the aramid fiber market further during the forecast period. On the contrary, the high R&D costs and the non-biodegradable nature of aramid fibers are restraining the market growth.

Meta-aramid fiber is projected to be the fastest-growing type for aramid fiber market between 2021 and 2026
Meta-aramid fiber offers higher thermal and chemical resistance than para-aramid fiber and has dielectric properties, making it preferable for fire-resistant clothing as well as electrical insulation. This fiber is also combined with other high-performance fibers for enhanced properties. The meta-aramid fiber market is also driven by the increased demand from the telecommunication and automotive industries, where the demand for frictional materials and growth in optical fibers are going to support the market growth, respectively.

Optical fibers segment is projected to be the fastest-growing end-use industry in aramid fiber market between 2021 and 2026.
The increasing use of the Internet and telecommunication applications has triggered the need for faster connectivity and flexibility in cable design. Aramid fibers find application as reinforcements in fiber optic cables as they offer better protection against mechanical stress, environmental moisture, salt water, and temperature fluctuations and provide longer life and reduction in weight of the fiber. The growing demand for fiber optic cables has been driving the need for reinforcement materials, of which aramid fibers are one of the preferred choices.
