In recent years, China's fiberglass industry has developed rapidly, driven by both domestic and international markets. The expansion of the international market is attributed to both the growth in overall demand and the space left for domestic companies in the international market after international enterprises exited the industry due to low profit margins. Meanwhile, the growth of the domestic market is fueled by the rapid development of downstream consumer industries. After more than 50 years of development, China's fiberglass industry has reached a considerable scale. Starting from the early days of reform and opening up, China's fiberglass industry has become the second largest producer of fiberglass products in the world within twenty years, with a growth rate significantly faster than the global fiberglass production.

Analysis of the Market Prospects for Glass Fiber in Our Country

The Chinese fiberglass industry has developed rapidly in recent years, driven by both domestic and international markets. The expansion of the international market is due to both the growth in overall demand and the space left for domestic companies in the international market after international enterprises exited the industry due to lower profit margins. The growth of the domestic market comes from the rapid development of downstream consumer industries. Chinese fiberglass has gone throughmore than 50 years of development and has already reached a considerable scale.

China's fiberglass industry started in the early days of reform and opening up, and in twenty years it became the second largest producer of fiberglass products in the world, with a growth rate significantly faster than the global fiberglass production growth rate.In 1985, China's fiberglass production was only a mere7.1ten thousand tons, barely accounting for1/20, but after entering the902000s, the fiberglass industry made rapid progress. During the period from2001 to 2003, when the global fiberglass industry production stagnated and fell into a bottleneck, China's fiberglass production still maintained a rapid growth momentum,2003with an annual output of47.3ten thousand tons almost reaching1/5of the world's fiberglass production, achieving and exceeding the national "Tenth Five-Year Plan" target of fiberglass annual production of38ten~40ten thousand tons.

China's fiberglass industry has an outward-oriented structure, with imports and exports showing a two-way growth trend, especially with the booming development of the fiberglass industry, imports and exports have maintained rapid growth.In 2003, the export volume had reached59.1%。较高的进出口比例表明,我国玻纤业已经完全与国际玻纤市场接轨,产品产量与质量上的提高使得我国玻纤业的国际市场竞争力大大增强。另一方面,我国经济持续稳步的发展也增加了国内对国外先进玻纤产品的需求。这种健康的外向型结构导致了一种良性循环。

与国际相比,我国玻纤产品还存在品种规格少,应用范围窄等不足。但这些情况也从另外一个角度说明,我国的玻纤产业还存在大量市场空间未被挖掘,尤其是在一些应用领域,许多细分市场甚至根本未被开发。正因为如此,国内优秀的玻璃纤维行业生产企业愈来愈重视对行业市场的研究,特别是对企业发展环境和客户需求趋势变化的深入研究,一大批国内优秀的玻璃纤维企业迅速崛起,逐渐成为玻璃纤维行业中的翘楚。

长远来看,随着中东、亚太基础设施的加强和改造,对玻纤需求增加了很大的数量,随着全球在玻纤改性塑料、运动器材、航空航天等方面对玻纤的需求不断增长,玻纤行业前景仍然乐观。另外玻纤的应用领域又扩展到风电市场,这可能是玻纤未来发展的一个亮点。能源危机促使各国寻求新能源,风能成为如今关注的一个焦点,中国在风电领域也开始加大力度投资。到2020年,国内在风力发电领域将投资3500亿元,其中,20%(即700亿元)左右的领域需要使用玻纤(如风机叶片等方面)。这对中国玻纤企业来说是一个很大的发展机遇。
