Glass steel / composite material market. Mainly in the following areas - Aviation: according to relevant reports, in 2008, the aviation industry in the world consumed 210 thousand tons of composite materials. Sullivan, the famous growth consulting company in the United States, published a research report on the global aviation polymer based composite industry in 2009, and reports that the polymer based composite market will remain two digit growth by 2014 as the global aviation industry develops. It is predicted that the use of composite materials will increase by 11% annually in the global aviation sector in 2008~2014. Energy and electricity: wind power, global wind power capacity reached 159213MW in 2009, and 38312MW increased in 2009. The annual growth rate of wind power has reached the highest 31.7% since 2001. By the end of 2009, the global wind power generation is 340 trillion watts per year, equivalent to all power demand in Italy, the world's seventh largest economy, as well as 2% of the world's power consumption. China continues its locomotive role in the international wind power industry, adding 13800MW capability in 2009. For the largest fan market, its installed capacity doubled fourth years in a row. It is predicted that China's wind energy will be added 15000MW in 2010. Flue gas desulphurization, thermal power accounts for more than half of the world's electricity generation. Therefore, coal will remain the main fuel for at least the next few decades. All thermal power plants eventually have to install washing towers and desulphurization systems, and FRP is the most cost-effective material in this field. FGD (FGD) future investment is mainly in Asia, not in the United States and Europe, China will become the largest market in the FGD system, accounting for more than 40% of the world's total.

In China, the application of FRP in the desulphurization system is still in the rising stage. A few fiberglass enterprises can provide glass and steel products that meet the requirements of the desulfurization system, and the glass and steel products are limited to the spray pipes and the flue and slurry pipelines of a very few smoke towers. In the next 20 years, the desulfurization capacity of China's coal-fired power plants will be more than doubled. If the glass steel industry takes appropriate measures to strengthen product development, equipment manufacturing and technology renewal, strengthen market publicity and expansion, it will open up a broad market for the FGD market in 2010. The prediction of ECR glass fiber used in desulfurization system is more than 50% higher than that in 2009. The third aspects of energy and electric power application are power transmission and transformation facilities. Because of the characteristics of light weight, high strength, good insulation, fatigue, corrosion resistance, easy processing and forming, and easy maintenance, FRP / composite has been widely used in the power industry. The application of FRP / composite in electric power industry is one of the hot topics in the industry, except for the traditional transmission and transformation equipment and facilities. In recent years, with the increasing tension of the transmission corridor land, the advantages of composite materials for transmission towers have become increasingly prominent. Using the excellent properties of the composite, it can not only overcome the defects of the conventional transmission towers, such as mass, perishable, corrosion or cracking, but also increase the insulation gap and insulation distance of the tower, improve the insulation level of the transmission lines, further compress the width of the transmission line corridor, and reduce the construction and operation dimension of the transmission lines. Protect the cost. With the development and improvement of the molding technology and product performance of the domestic FRP / composite material, the reduction of manufacturing cost, the research and application conditions of the FRP / composite rod tower have already been developed, and many departments have carried out the application research and have entered the test stage of the line.

Traffic and transportation are third areas of concern. Rail vehicles, 2010~2015 years, China's planned construction of urban rapid rail transit project length of 1700 kilometers, about 500000000000 Yuan investment will be gathered in this field. The application of FRP / composite in rail transit has shown great advantages and wide application prospects in the field of rail transit from FRP / composite parts to all glass steel / composite materials. In addition to the application of existing technology and technology for the development and production of rail vehicles, assembly and equipment, equipment and facilities, the manufacturing technology of Fiberglass / composite materials with independent intellectual property rights and their batch products should be deeply studied to promote the development of high speed rail transit in China. At present, China is in the boom period of rail transit construction, and it has become the largest urban rail transit city in the world. It is a promising application field for glass steel / composite materials industry. The industry should seize this opportunity to develop new products and expand glass steel / composite materials in the field of rail transportation. Application. In 2009, China's automobile production and sales reached 13 million vehicles. With the national plan to revitalize the automobile industry, the total application of FRP / composite products on automobiles will be accelerated. At the same time, the national energy saving and emission reduction policy and the development of new energy electric vehicles, as well as the development trend of light weight of automobile materials, also provide a wider market development space for the application of FRP / composite materials in automobiles.

There are many fields of concern in the market of FRP / composite materials, as well as architectural engineering, glass steel / composite products in the field of architecture, except for traditional products such as cooling towers, fans, tanks, pipes, doors and windows, lighting tiles, decoration and decoration, etc., building reinforcement and fiberglass / composite materials on the bridge As one of the new concerns, petrochemical and petrochemical are one of the important applications of FRP / composite. In addition to the traditional anticorrosion engineering, the high pressure pipes, tanks and towers of FRP continue to grow. The application of FRP / composite in the underground tank (double wall tank), and the application of marine petroleum engineering has become a concern. Water treatment engineering, water treatment is generally divided into pure water treatment, circulating water treatment and raw water treatment. Due to the high specific strength, excellent corrosion resistance and no corrosion, the glass steel / composite material has been widely used in water treatment engineering, with the national environmental protection and energy saving and emission reduction policy and legal law The state will increase investment in this field. The application of Fiberglass / composite materials to water treatment facilities will have a great progress; environmental protection and renewable energy projects, environmental protection and new rural construction are the national key concerns and support projects, and are also the applications of the glass steel / composite industry in recent years. Area, glass steel purification (trough) pool and FRP biogas digester are the items of concern in the industry. It has a wide space for market development. For example, in the construction of new countryside, the glass steel biogas pool has excellent corrosion resistance, factory production, convenient installation, fast gas production, long life and safety in use. Welcome to the attention and promotion of the Ministry of agriculture. According to the Ministry of agriculture's new energy office, 5 million rural household biogas digesters will be planned in 2010.

The last area to be worthy of concern is the yacht. The total number of yachts in the world is about 1800 million. The total number of yachts registered and used in the United States has reached 12 million. At present, the annual output of yachts of various sizes in the world is about 900 thousand. With the improvement of the global economic situation, the migration of foreign yacht enterprises to the mainland and the demand for the high income class in China, as well as the planning and construction of yacht facilities in the Hainan international tourism island and the developed coastal areas, the yacht industry in China will have a big development in the next few years. China has become the largest glass fiber producer in the world. It is expected that the demand for glass fiber will soon exceed that of the United States and is becoming the largest market for the demand and application of the glass fiber industry worldwide. This is also the main reason for the world's top glass fiber enterprises to pay more and more attention to the Asian market. With the rejuvenation of relevant national industries and investment in infrastructure, for the glass fiber reinforced plastics / composite industry, construction and transportation are the largest application fields of glass fiber, while the demand for glass fiber in new energy and electricity industries will continue to grow. Glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites have attracted increasing attention, and the FRTP market is expected to grow significantly in recent years. According to the development of FRP / composite materials industry in China, the demand for fiberglass in recent years is expected to increase by two digits annually.
