Due to new stringent government rules and regulations, the demand for environmentally friendly and easily recyclable fibre and composite products is increasing drastically. Many consumers prefer to use recyclable products that do not harm the environment. Developed countries such as the US, Japan, and Germany are at the forefront of the use of environmentally friendly products rather than petroleum-based products.

These regulations, combined with end-user demand for environmentally friendly products, are encouraging manufacturers to use natural fibre composites, including basalt fiber, in construction and infrastructure, automotive and transportation, electrical and electronics, marine, and other end-use industries. 

Innovations leading to more efficient and cost-effective production technologies of basalt fibres are expected to create new opportunities in the foreseeable future. To increase basalt fibre production capacity, some manufacturers are shifting from complex and inefficient manufacturing processes to Technology 2.0. 

“Growing production advancements such as generation 2.0 production technology, 3-D printing, and the introduction of efficient and environmentally friendly products for end-users are expected to create a significant opportunity for basalt fibre manufacturers,” says an FMI analyst.
