Increasing Usage in Automotive to Accelerate Growth

In the automotive industry, diesel and gasoline are two of the most significant oil products that are used extensively. The World Resources Institute (WRI) mentioned that at present, greenhouse gas emissions account for 97%, whereas oil products account for 96% of transport energy. Therefore, governments of several countries are taking initiatives to prevent emissions from internal combustion engines for safeguarding humans and the atmosphere. Metal fibers can be used in diesel vehicles to remove oil droplets. This factor is anticipated to boost the metal fiber market growth. However, the availability of cost-effective substitutes, such as carbon fiber and ceramics may hamper the demand for these fibers in the near future.

Key Players Aim to Broaden Product Portfolios to Cater to High Demand

The global market houses numerous firms, such as Fibrometals, Bekaert, Green Steel Group, and others. They are striving to expand their geographic footprint by implementing multiple organic and inorganic strategies.
