Market Dynamics

Introduction:

In the FRP poles category, utility poles play a vital role, having the highest penetration among all applications. Wooden utility poles are prone to damage from fire, rotting, and degradation, whereas FRP poles have proven their ability to overcome these challenges efficiently. Apart from this, FRP poles also offer significant weight reduction, which creates ease of transportation and also has a longer life span with reduced maintenance.

Market Drivers:

• Rapid urbanization and the need for upgraded infrastructure are increasing the demand for durable and reliable utility poles and their incredible performance in areas that are heavily facing natural disasters like hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes.

Segment Analysis

By Process Type

“Filament winding holds a giant share in the market, with most of the manufacturers engaged in manufacturing FRP poles through this process.”

• Based on the process type, the market is segmented into pultrusion, filament winding, and centrifugal casting.

• The filament winding holds a giant share in the market, with most of the manufacturers engaged in manufacturing FRP poles through this process. Excellent dimensional stability and established technology in rounded/cylindrical parts have led to the high prevalence of the process in the market. Pultrusion also offers sizable market opportunities.

By Application Type

“Distribution is expected to remain the largest application type in the market during the forecast period.” 

• Based on the application type, the market is segmented into transmission, distribution, and telecommunication.
