Synthetic fibres or materials made from metals like steel are used to make ropes. Petrochemical-based synthetic fibres like polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester, nylon, ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), aramids, and specialty fibres are the primary raw materials used to make synthetic ropes. Due to their high strength, high durability, high strength-to-weight ratio, and robust spooling capabilities, synthetic ropes are frequently used in crane applications.
In terms of revenue, the Synthetic Rope Market was valued at US$ 1,349.6 million in 2021, growing at a CAGR of 5.9% over the forecast period (2022 to 2030).
