The Southeast Asia fiberglass multi-end roving market is experiencing strong growth, with its valuation reaching USD 327 million in 2024, according to recent industry analysis. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.8%, reaching approximately USD 512 million by 2032. This expansion is primarily driven by increasing infrastructure development and automotive lightweighting initiatives across the region, particularly in Thailand and Indonesia which collectively account for over 45% of regional demand.
Fiberglass multi-end roving has become a critical material in composite manufacturing, offering exceptional strength-to-weight ratios and corrosion resistance. These properties make it indispensable for applications ranging from wind turbine blades to automotive components, especially as Southeast Asian nations intensify their focus on renewable energy and sustainable transportation solutions.

Market Overview & Regional Analysis
Southeast Asia’s construction boom is creating robust demand for fiberglass rovings, particularly with Vietnam allocating over 6% of GDP to infrastructure and Indonesia investing $35 billion annually in development projects. These materials are increasingly preferred for concrete reinforcement and structural panels due to their durability and resistance to harsh tropical climates. Simultaneously, Thailand’s automotive sector, producing nearly 2 million vehicles annually, is adopting these composites for weight reduction in both conventional and electric vehicles.
While domestic production is concentrated in Thailand and Malaysia, regional manufacturers face logistical challenges with about 45% of raw materials being imported. This supply chain fragmentation creates pricing volatility, especially with recent disruptions in silica and petrochemical markets which account for 60% of production costs. Nonetheless, technological advancements in filament alignment and automated quality control are helping local producers enhance competitiveness against global players.
Key Market Drivers and Opportunities
The market’s expansion is being propelled by three key factors: First, ASEAN’s infrastructure gap estimated at $2.8 trillion by 2030 requires durable materials for bridges, roads, and buildings. Second, automotive manufacturers are mandated to improve fuel efficiency, with fiberglass composites enabling 20-30% weight reduction. Third, renewable energy projects, especially Vietnam’s target of 7GW offshore wind capacity by 2030, demand specialized rovings for turbine blades.
Emerging opportunities include the development of eco-friendly rovings using recycled glass content, which aligns with regional sustainability commitments. Additionally, partnerships between material suppliers and wind project developers are being encouraged through local content requirements, creating new avenues for market penetration. Producers are also exploring customized roving solutions for niche applications like pressure vessels and marine components.
Challenges & Restraints
Despite promising growth, the industry faces significant headwinds. Carbon fiber alternatives are becoming more cost-competitive, having reduced production costs by 18% since 2018. Environmental regulations regarding styrene emissions during manufacturing require expensive containment systems, burdensome for small and medium enterprises. Additionally, intellectual property barriers limit access to advanced roving technologies used in Western markets.
Workforce development presents another challenge, as the specialized nature of composite manufacturing requires skilled operators that are scarce across Southeast Asia. Training programs have struggled to keep pace with technological advancements in filament winding and resin infusion processes, forcing companies to invest heavily in internal workforce development.
