Global Development Trends and Technology Forecast of 11 Types of High-Performance Fibers - Meta-Aramid Fiber
Meta-aramid fiber possesses excellent heat resistance (decomposition temperature >400°C, long-term use temperature >200°C), flame resistance (limiting oxygen index >29%), outstanding resistance to high temperatures and acids/alkalis, electrical insulation properties, and good processability.
It is widely used in areas such as high-temperature protective clothing, high-temperature filtration materials, the electrical industry, and composite materials. Global consumption of meta-aramid was 35 kilotons in 2017 and increased to 43.2 kilotons in 2018, with 50% of production coming from DuPont.
Consumption is projected to reach 66 kilotons by 2025, primarily used in insulation paper and safety protection applications, which demand high fiber performance and have high technical barriers.
In 2020, the global meta-aramid market size reached RMB 6.3 billion and is expected to grow to RMB 10.3 billion by 2026, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. Currently, the quality of domestically supplied meta-aramid in China has approached that of foreign products, and its market share is gradually increasing, accompanied by a strong price advantage.
This has essentially forced US-based DuPont and Japan's Teijin to withdraw from the Chinese meta-aramid market. However, over 60% of China's meta-aramid products are used in the relatively low-end field of high-temperature filtration materials, where technical barriers are lower, followed by safety protection and insulation paper applications.
Compared to the international market, the performance of Chinese-made meta-aramid, especially for insulation paper, still has significant room for improvement.
