Synthetic Rope Market Size and Share Outlook - Forecast Trends and Growth Analysis Report (2025-2034)

Market Report I 2025-07-15 I 167 Pages I EMR Inc.

The global synthetic rope market size reached around USD 1439.33 Million in 2024. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.20% between 2025 and 2034 to reach nearly USD 2626.67 Million by 2034.

Key Trends in the Market

Synthetic ropes are ropes manufactured by braiding together one or more different types of synthetic fibre. These ropes are usually made of synthetic fibres such as polypropylene, nylon, polyester, and other materials. Synthetic ropes offer several advantages over traditional ropes made from natural fibres. Moreover, they are capable of maintaining their length and strength even under heavy loads.

- One of the primary factors driving the synthetic rope market growth is the increasing demand from the offshore oil and gas sector. Synthetic ropes offer several advantages over traditional steel ropes, including lower weight, greater flexibility, and resistance to corrosion and abrasion. They also have a longer lifespan than steel ropes, which means they can handle more loads over a longer period of time.
- Another synthetic rope market trend is the increasing demand from the shipping industry. Synthetic ropes are used in mooring and towing applications, where they offer several advantages over steel ropes, including reduced weight, lower cost, and improved safety. They also have a higher tensile strength than steel ropes of the same diameter, allowing ships to use thinner ropes that take up less space on board.
- Various governing agencies in different regions are implementing strategies to enhance the productivity and efficiency of the aquaculture sector due to the rapidly growing global population and rising food security concerns. This will likely enhance the synthetic rope demand for various applications in the aquaculture sector, propelling the market value.

Market Analysis

Market Share by Product Type

Among the different product types, polypropylene is anticipated to hold the largest synthetic rope market share during the forecast period. This type of rope is a tough polymer that is highly resistant to solvents and adhesives. It is made from three-strand yarn, which provides maximum strength and durability. The marine as well as the shipping sector widely utilise it due to its robust construction and strong mechanical property. It is commonly used in boats, winches, pulleys, and general fastening and securing applications.

The rope is also buoyant, making it easy to retrieve from the water surface and serving as a suitable option for use around water. Therefore, the demand for synthetic polypropylene rope is expected to grow significantly in the forecast period, owing to its advantageous properties over traditional ropes.

Market Share by Application

The synthetic rope market demand from the marine and fishing sector has grown significantly. Synthetic ropes are preferred in these industries because they are lightweight, easy to handle, and floatable, which reduces downtime and enhances efficiency. They also provide good insulation and are resistant to chemicals, making them suitable for use in harsh environments. These ropes come in various colours and forms and are used in fishing nets and twines. They are commonly used in trawling applications because of their high strength-to-weight ratio, resistance to abrasion, and high breaking strength.
