Metal Fibers Market Leading Players Analysis Report 2025


23th October 2018 - Metallic fiber comprises metal, plastic-coated metal or metal coated plastic or a core totally encapsulated by metal. Metal fibers serve in various industries such as fabric decoration and minimizing tarnishing. These fibers can be produced from wire or a bundle from a large wire or even cast from molten metal. Characteristically, coated metallic filaments serve to reduce blemish. Under use of appropriate adhesives and films, metal fibers remain unaffected by salt water, chlorinated water or other climatic conditions. Materials resulting out of metallic fibers need to be dry-cleaned and lastly, ironing should be avoided since the heat from iron can melt the fiber particularly at higher temperatures.  Usually, two production methods are involved to produce metallic fibers. Precisely, laminating process wraps a layer of aluminum between the layers of polyester film and acetate. The fibers are then cut into lengthwise strips for yarn and coiled into spools. Metals can be sealed and colored in a film or the film can be colored before laminating. Another process is metalizing process. This process consists of heating the metal until vaporization and then depositing it at a high pressure on a polyester film. The process generates thinner, flexible and more comfortable fibers.


Commercially, the metal fiber is also used for weaving and needlepoint. The key driving factors responsible for the growth of metal fibers market include rising need to prevent equipment failure, resistance towards high temperature and rising demand in end-use industries such as aerospace, defense, electrical & electronics industry. On the basis of product, the global metal fiber market is segmented into steel fiber, cast fiber, copper fiber and aluminum fiber. On the basis of application, the global metal fiber market is segmented into textile, electronics, chemical & material, and aerospace and defense. On the basis of geographic segmentation, the global metal fiber market spans North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Middle-East & Africa. North America is anticipated to grow at a higher CAGR for the forecast period due to manufacturing hub of aerospace and defense industry. APAC regions are anticipated to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. The key players in the global metal fibers market include Huntsman, Toho, Tenax, Hollingsworth & Vose Company, Carlisle Interconnect Technologies, Dupont, PPG industries, BASF, Ahlstrom Corporation and Honeywell.
