Molded FRP Grating Market Size, Share, Industry, Forecast and outlook (2024-2031)

Global Molded FRP Grating Market is segmented  By Grating Height (10-30mm, 31-50mm, Above 50mm), By Application (Walkways, Docks, Handrails, Walls, Others), and By Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa) – Share, Size, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2024-2031

Molded FRP Grating Market Overview

The Global Molded FRP Grating Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.9% during the forecast period (2024-2031).

Moulded FRP grating is a mesh of horizontal and vertical layers of liquid resin and continuous fibreglass rovings. As the name suggests, it is made in a large metal mould. The multi-directional strength of molded FRP grating means cut-outs to make room for pipework or navigating complex flooring layouts without extra reinforcement. Another advantage of molded FRP is that it comes in standard sizes, is ordered in bulk, and stored until needed.
