DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/a505abf1/analyzing_glass_fi) has announced the addition of the "Analyzing Glass Fibers Market in United States" report to their offering.
Due to the slump in the US housing industry, the demand for glass fiber in the US experienced a slowdown in the recent years. However, as the economic condition seems to be stabilizing, it is expected that the growth of the glass fibers industry will pick up. The industry is expected to grow at a steady rate till 2016.
Glass wool fibers hold the majority of the market in the US, followed by textile glass fibers. While glass wool fibers have a market share of nearly 70%, the textile glass fiber segment accounts for just 30%.
With fiberglass being the most common material used in the US for insulation in residential buildings, this segment is expected to see good sales in the coming years.
The biggest players in the US glass fibers industry in 2011 were Owen Corning, Berkshire Hathaway through its subsidiary Johns Manville, and Saint Gobain through its subsidiary CertainTeed Corporation.
The industry's future perspective is looked at through a segment-wise market forecast as well as an industry outlook.
An analysis of the major market players through a corporate profile, business segment analysis, financial analysis, industry presence, and a SWOT analysis, completes this comprehensive analysis of the Glass Fibers Market in the US.
