As demand for corrosion-resistant construction materials continues to rise, fiberglass rebar (also known as FRP or GFRP rebar) has become a competitive alternative to steel. However, pricing remains a major concern for engineers, project planners, and procurement teams. Here's a breakdown of fiberglass rebar pricing worldwide and what affects it.


1. Global Price Overview: China, India, and the United States

Fiberglass rebar prices vary by region due to raw material costs, labor, shipping, and local demand.

RegionPrice Range (Approx., USD per ton)Price per Meter (10–16mm bars)
China$1,500 – $2,200$0.50 – $1.00
India$1,800 – $2,400$0.60 – $1.10
USA$2,500 – $3,200$1.20 – $2.20

Note: Prices depend on current resin costs, currency exchange rates, and order volume.


2. Key Factors That Influence FRP Rebar Pricing

Several variables can significantly affect the final unit cost of fiberglass rebar:

  • Diameter and Length: Larger diameters and custom lengths cost more per meter due to more fiber and resin used.

  • Order Quantity: Bulk orders often receive price breaks. Minimum order thresholds vary by manufacturer.

  • Resin Type: Vinyl ester resin is more expensive than polyester, but offers better corrosion resistance.

  • Color Requirements: Standard colors like gray or green are common, while custom colors may increase cost.

  • Packaging and Delivery: Export packaging, container loading methods, and delivery distance influence final pricing.


3. Cost Comparison: FRP Rebar vs Steel Rebar

While fiberglass rebar often appears more expensive on a per-ton basis, its lower weight and longer service life offer advantages. Here's a comparison:

CategorySteel RebarFiberglass Rebar
Density~7.85 g/cm³~1.9–2.1 g/cm³
Weight per Meter (16mm)~1.58 kg/m~0.29 kg/m
Price per Meter$0.60 – $1.20$0.80 – $1.40
DurabilityProne to corrosionNon-corrosive, long-lasting
Lifecycle CostHigher maintenanceLower maintenance cost

So while the price per ton of FRP is higher, the price per effective usage year can be significantly lower due to reduced replacement and repair needs.


4. How to Get the Best Price

To obtain the most accurate and competitive fiberglass rebar quote:

  • Specify the required diameter, length, quantity, and application scenario

  • Indicate delivery location and packaging requirements

  • Ask for pricing in both per-meter and per-ton formats

  • Inquire about available stock vs. custom production
