GFRP Composites Market by Resin Type (Polyester, Vinyl Ester, Epoxy, Polyurethane, Thermoplastics, and Other resins), Manufacturing Process [Compression & Injection Molding, Filament Winding, Layup, Pultrusion, Resin Transfer Molding (RTM), Other Manufact

The GFRP composites market is estimated at USD 64.5 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 84.3 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2025 to 2030. The application of thermoplastic resin as a matrix material in fiber-reinforced composites has increased significantly over the last few years. Thermoplastic resin has been used with continuous glass fiber to create structural composite products. The main advantage of thermoplastic resin as a matrix material is that the GFRP composite formed can be reshaped and reformed, unlike a thermoset resin. The GFRP composite formed is also easily recyclable. Hence, its use has increased significantly over the last decade. However, thermoplastic resin is solid, which makes it difficult to impregnate with reinforcing fibers. Hence, thermoplastic resins are quite expensive in comparison to thermoset resins.

“In terms of value, the wind energy industry is projected to register the highest CAGR among all the end-use industries.”

Wind turbine blades are the key components in the wind power generation system. GFRP composites in wind turbine blades are widely used in the development of large-scale wind turbines. The R&D focus of blade manufacturers has been mainly on reducing the cost of wind energy. This is driving the use of GFRP composites, as they are less costly than other fibers without compromising their high-performance properties. GFRP composites also provide high tensile strength, helping manufacturers achieve larger blades and higher energy output. GFRP composites allow wind turbines to work in the harshest environments due to their corrosion-resistant properties.

“The Asia Pacific region is projected to register the highest growth rate in the GFRP composites market during the forecast period.”

Asia Pacific is projected to be the fastest-growing region in the GFRP composites market during the forecast period. Countries such as China, India, and Southeast Asia are experiencing swift industrial growth and urban expansion.
