Composite rebar is a material made up of fiberglass that is used to repair railways, automobiles, and bridges and in construction activities. It is also known as GFRP and FRP It is an extremely lightweight and strong material that replaces iron rods in construction because of its resistance against damages and anti-corrosiveness. It is stronger compared to normal steel welded rods and enhances the construction quality. It is effective against harsh environments and useful for developing high-quality buildings. It is an extremely cost-efficient material that provides excellent resistance against damages and offers an excellent lifespan. 

The rising demand for quality construction and the rapid development of infrastructure in several countries is likely to boost its adoption. Governments invest heavily in the development of quality construction to improve infrastructure in their respective countries. As per the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the Indian government plans to invest approximately USD 1.4 trillion in the development of infrastructure from 2019-2023. The development of infrastructure facilities and the development of advanced infrastructure facilities is likely to boost the composite rebar market growth.

COVID-19 Impact: Restrictions on Construction Activities to Impede Market Growth

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected several markets globally. The sudden spike in cases has provoked governments to impose strict restrictions against construction activities. As a result, the demand for the product is declining rapidly. The halt on manufacturing and transport is likely to disrupt the supply chain and availability of raw materials and components. The closure of manufacturing and construction activities has negatively affected several manufacturers. It has led to the permanent shutdown of several companies. However, the adoption of reduced capacities, part-time shifts, medical gear, and production machinery enables companies to balance their costs and recover the loss. Further, lockdown relaxations have enabled industries to function as per the government regulations. Therefore, these factors are expected to facilitate the growth of the composite rebar market during the pandemic.

A tunnel is responsible for holding an entire load on top of itself, thereby boosting demand for the product. It provides excellent resistance to harsh environments inside a tunnel. It is resistant to heat, dust, and other impurities under the ground. It reinforces the tunnel's strength and improves the effectiveness of the construction. It holds weight effectively and is resistant to bends because of its excellent tensile strength. It is different in structure as compared to normal steel and is denser. It is extremely lightweight and withstands pressures and vibrations created by trains and vehicles. The rising tunnel constructions in the United States are expected to boost its adoption significantly. Therefore, these factors can influence industry growth. 

"Increasing Demand for High-Quality Components from the Automotive Sector to Fuel Growth"

Carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) rebar is used extensively in automobile manufacturing because of their strength and excellent durability. It is used to cover automotive parts to increase its resistance against crashes and harsh environments. It reinforces the vehicle's strength and improves the driver's safety. It is a lightweight and flexible material that reduces the vehicle's weight and strength. The rising demand for safety features in vehicles is expected to increase its adoption in the automobile manufacturing industry. CFRP rebar is used in automotive components to improve strength and enhance the safety of vehicles. It prevents the parts from corrosion, bends, and damages against environments. Therefore, these factors are likely to drive the composite rebar market growth. 

RESTRAINING FACTORS

"Higher Material and Installation Costs to Hinder Progress of the Market"

The higher installation costs of the material compared to alternative materials are likely to restrain the product demand. It is more costly compared to metal counterparts, which, in turn, shall provoke small industries to adopt steel, metal alloys, and other counterparts. Additionally, the lack of awareness regarding the product's benefits is expected to hamper the market growth.
