According to Inkwood Research, the global market for aramid fiber is estimated to grow with an anticipated CAGR of 7.45% during the forecast period & will reach revenue of $6065 million by 2027. The base year considered for the market study is 2018, and the forecasted period is between 2019 & 2027.

Aramid fiber is a synthetic high-end specialty fiber which has features like high heat resistance and high tensile strength, high impact resistance, abrasion resistance, low density, and advanced chemical resistance. Hence, it becomes useful for industrial applications, such as defense, automotive, aerospace, and optical fiber systems. They are widely used for making ballistic body armors, sporting goods, helmets, and other protective clothing, due to their high strength and heat resistant properties. DuPont was the first to produce and commercialize Aramid fiber in the 1960s.

The global aramid fiber market is driven by: 

  • Increasing concern for security
  • Substitute for steel and asbestos
  • High strength and heat resistance

Increasing concern for safety is considered as a prime driver for the growth of the global aramid fiber market. Increasing demand for security & protective measures in various end-use industries such as military and construction is anticipated to boost the demand for aramid fibers over the forecast period. Aramid fiber is widely utilized in the making of protective clothing, equipment, and accessories owing to its excellent fiber, chemical, mechanical, and thermal properties. The security & protection application segment dominated the aramid fiber market in the past few years, and this trend is anticipated to continue over the forecast period.

Para-aramid fiber is the leading product type in terms of revenue in the global aramid fiber market with around 72.45% market share in 2018. Para-aramid fiber namely Kevlar® is a synthetic fiber that has a considerable strength-to-weight ratio. The dry-jet by the wet spinning method creates the para-aramid fibers. It contains fully extended liquid crystal chains that are formed along the fiber axis with an excessive degree of crystallinity. The resultant increases the strength of the fiber.

On the other hand, the cost of aramid fiber restricts global aramid fiber market growth. Several processing types such as doubling/assembly winding, twisting, bonding, water-blocking, adhesion promoters, and final winding can affect the production cost of aramid fibers. However, the price is not necessarily determined by the raw material pricing. The production cost fluctuates substantially depending on the aramid, final yarn construction, and processing steps required. Generally, the more processing steps involved, the higher is the aramid product cost.
