Global Fabric Based Laminates (SRBF) Market Research Report 2024(Status and Outlook)

In Business Insights
June 12, 2025

The global Fabric Based Laminates (SRBF) market showcases robust growth prospects with a valuation of US$ 1.56 billion in 2024 projected to reach US$ 2.12 billion by 2030, demonstrating a steady CAGR of 5.2%. This upward trajectory reflects sustained demand across electrical insulation, automotive, and aerospace sectors where fabric-reinforced laminates offer superior mechanical and thermal properties. While North America remains a key regional market (US$ 422 million in 2024), Asia Pacific is emerging as a high-growth manufacturing hub.

Fabric based laminates (SRBF) combine woven or non-woven fabrics with thermosetting resins to create durable, heat-resistant composite materials. Their growing adoption in electrical insulation applications stems from superior dielectric strength and flame retardancy compared to traditional materials. Recent advancements include the development of high-temperature resistant grades for aerospace applications and halogen-free formulations meeting stringent environmental regulations.

Market Overview & Regional Analysis

North America’s established electrical equipment manufacturing sector drives steady SRBF demand, particularly for UL-approved insulation materials in transformers and switchgear. However, Asia Pacific shows the strongest growth momentum, with China dominating regional production through vertically integrated laminate manufacturers serving both domestic and export markets. Europe maintains leadership in high-performance aerospace-grade laminates, supported by stringent quality standards and advanced resin technologies.

The U.S. market benefits from reshoring trends in electrical component manufacturing, while India emerges as a strategic growth market with expanding power infrastructure investments. Middle East and African markets, while currently smaller, show potential in oil & gas applications where SRBFs replace traditional asbestos-based insulation materials.

Key Market Drivers and Opportunities

Electrification trends across automotive and industrial sectors are creating sustained demand for reliable insulation materials. The shift toward electric vehicles (EVs) presents new opportunities for SRBF in battery insulation and motor components, while wind energy growth drives consumption in generator insulation systems. Current data shows electrical applications account for nearly 60% of global SRBF consumption, followed by automotive at 22% and aerospace at 12%.

Material innovation represents a key growth frontier, with manufacturers developing bio-based resin systems and hybrid fabric combinations to improve sustainability profiles. The aerospace sector’s recovery post-pandemic creates additional upside potential, particularly for lightweight, fire-resistant laminates meeting stringent FAA and EASA certification requirements.

Challenges & Restraints

The market faces several headwinds including volatile raw material costs (particularly for epoxy and phenolic resins), stringent environmental regulations on VOC emissions during production, and competition from alternative insulating materials like mica-based composites. Supply chain disruptions continue to impact lead times for specialty fabric reinforcements, while the complexity of qualification processes in aerospace applications creates barriers to entry for newer market participants.

Trade protectionism also emerges as a concern, with some countries implementing local content requirements for electrical infrastructure projects that disadvantage imported SRBF materials. Additionally, the shift toward digital transformers and compact switchgear designs may moderate future growth in certain electrical applications.
