In early 2025, the average GFRP rebar price remains between $2.60 and $3.40 per kg, depending on resin system, fiber content, and production location.
While prices have risen slightly due to global resin costs, the overall cost stability of GFRP compared to steel reinforcement continues to drive adoption in coastal, transportation, and water treatment projects.
| Region | Average Price (USD/kg) | Year-on-Year Change | Market Trend |
|---|---|---|---|
| North America | 2.9 – 3.4 | +4.8% | Stable to rising |
| Europe | 2.8 – 3.2 | +3.6% | Stable |
| Middle East | 2.5 – 3.0 | +2.2% | Stable |
| Asia-Pacific | 2.3 – 2.8 | +5.1% | Rising |
| Latin America | 2.6 – 3.1 | +4.4% | Stable |
Compared with early 2024, GFRP rebar has maintained cost efficiency relative to stainless or epoxy-coated steel, even as global raw material prices increased.
GFRP rebar pricing is influenced by five major cost drivers:
Resin Type:
Vinyl ester and epoxy resins add 8–12% to total cost but enhance chemical resistance.
Glass Fiber Content:
Higher fiber volume fractions improve strength but raise cost per kg by 5–10%.
Manufacturing Method:
Continuous pultrusion ensures uniformity and reduces waste compared to manual lay-up methods.
Surface Treatment:
Sand-coated or spiral-wrapped finishes improve bond strength but add minor processing cost.
Market Demand and Logistics:
Shipping composite materials affects final cost, especially in large-diameter rebars.

Although GFRP's initial cost per kg is slightly higher than steel, its weight efficiency and corrosion-free lifespan make it more economical long-term.
| Material | Cost per KG (2025) | Weight per m (Ø12mm) | Service Life | Maintenance Cost (20 yrs) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GFRP Rebar | $2.6–3.4 | 0.25 kg | 75–100 yrs | None |
| Carbon Steel Rebar | $1.0–1.2 | 0.89 kg | 20–30 yrs | High |
| Stainless Steel Rebar | $3.5–4.2 | 0.89 kg | 50+ yrs | Low |
| Epoxy-Coated Steel | $1.4–1.8 | 0.89 kg | 30–40 yrs | Medium |
When adjusted for density, GFRP rebar delivers a lower cost per linear meter, especially in infrastructure or marine structures where corrosion control is critical.
In 2023–2024, global epoxy and vinyl ester resin prices surged due to supply chain disruption and higher energy costs.
However, by mid-2025, the market shows signs of stabilization, supported by:
Increased production in Asia (notably China and India)
Improved pultrusion automation efficiency
Bulk material sourcing by top manufacturers such as GTOFRP
This has resulted in a 5–8% reduction in manufacturing cost, helping suppliers maintain price competitiveness.
Prices remain steady due to local pultrusion plants and standardized DOT-approved specifications.
Infrastructure investment in bridge rehabilitation continues to support demand.
GFRP rebar adoption is accelerating under EU sustainability programs promoting non-corrosive, recyclable materials.
The fastest-growing region in both demand and production capacity.
Local manufacturers like GTOFRP in China and Southeast Asia have lowered logistics costs significantly.
High use in desalination plants and marine foundations; logistics remains the main cost driver.
According to current projections:
Average global price per kg is expected to remain between $2.6–3.0 USD through 2026.
Efficiency gains from automated pultrusion lines will gradually offset resin cost fluctuations.
Increasing government adoption of FRP design codes (ACI 440, CSA S806, etc.) will boost market volume, leading to minor price normalization.
Overall, the long-term trend indicates price stability with gradual cost reduction driven by scale manufacturing and competition.
GTOFRP integrates in-house pultrusion, resin mixing, and tensile testing, ensuring consistent performance at competitive prices.
By controlling every stage — from fiber selection to final curing — the company minimizes material waste and transportation costs.
Our FRP Rebar Production Line employs:
Automated fiber alignment systems
Closed-loop resin injection
Real-time curing temperature control
100% batch tensile testing
These measures allow GTOFRP to maintain a cost-to-performance ratio superior to average market levels.
While the cost per kilogram may not undercut steel in 2025, the total project economics favor GFRP due to zero corrosion, low maintenance, and lightweight logistics.
In long-term infrastructure and marine applications, it's not only a durable reinforcement but also a predictable-cost investment.
GTOFRP continues to supply certified, high-performance GFRP rebar for global construction and industrial projects, combining competitive pricing and engineering reliability.
