Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GRC) is a composite material made of glass fibers embedded in concrete. It is used as an alternative to traditional building materials such as stone, brick and wood, offering superior strength and durability. GRC can be used for a variety of applications ranging from exterior cladding to interior wall systems and even furniture and sculptures. In Saudi Arabia, GRC has become increasingly popular due to its many benefits including flexibility in design, light weight construction and non-combustibility. With the growing demand for quality construction materials in the Middle East region, the market for Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GRC) is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period of 2020-2026.
The increasing demand for lightweight building materials with superior structural properties created by commercialization activities coupled with support from government initiatives are some of the key factors driving growth in GRC usage across Saudi Arabia. Additionally, rapid urbanization coupled with rising disposable incomes will further spur market growth during the projected timeframe. Moreover, stringent safety regulations regarding fire resistance requirements have resulted in increased adoption of this specialty product across various end use industries such as residential buildings & hospitality industry where frequent fire outbreaks occur quite often thus creating opportunities for manufacturers operating within this space. Furthermore advancements being made into production techniques which enable faster production rate along with greater efficiency enabling cost reduction will also propel market growth over the coming years.
High installation costs associated with GCR compared to other conventional materials may act as a restraining factor on its wide spread adoption among local industrial players operating within Saudi Arabia marketscape . Also there is lack awareness about advantages offered by this particular technology amongst domestic consumers hindering overall product penetration levels . Further fluctuations observed within raw material prices alongside availability issues pose significant challenge towards industry prospects further adding pressure upon manufacturing costs ultimately affecting profitability margins . Other than that low technical expertise available amongst local workforce affects operational productivity thereby reducing quality standards thus making it difficult to maintain long term customer relationships ultimately leading towards reduced sales volumes .
In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, several government initiatives have been taken to ensure economic stability. These include stimulus packages for businesses operating in the construction industry as well as tax exemption on certain goods and services with a view to accelerate development projects. This is expected to increase demand for GFRC from contractors and developers across Saudi Arabia over the forecast period. Furthermore, increasing adoption of cost-effective materials such as GFRC in commercial buildings will support market growth over the next few years.
Key players present in Saudi Arabia glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) market include AGC Inc., BASF SE, Dowdupont Inc., Owens Corning Corporation, PPG Industries Inc., Sika AG among others.
