Para-Aramid is an aromatic polyamide distinguished by long, rigid polymer crystalline chains. The major drivers for this market are the increasing usage of para-aramid fiber in brake pads, clutches, transmission belts, gaskets, linings, and tires in automotive and the growing demand for protective clothing in defense and industrial sectors. Also, the increasing utilization of para-aramid fiber as an alternative to asbestos and steel in military and aerospace applications for ballistic grade body armor fabric is expected to fuel the market growth during the forecast period. Furthermore, stringent government norms regarding the safety of employees at the workplace and large penalties for non-compliance with these standards is also anticipated to contribute to the para-aramid fiber industry growth during the forecast period. However, the unremitting demand from the relatively unaffected defense and electrical & telecommunications industries is expected to be the redeeming grace for the aramid fiber market, indemnifying a portion of the losses incurred. The unwavering demand from the largely unaffected defense and electrical & telecommunications industries, on the other hand, is expected to be the aramid fiber market's saving grace, compensating for some of the losses experienced.
