FRP Rebar - The Future of Infrastructure in the Middle East?
Dr. Ing. Julien Saade of Mateenbar joins Deepak Agrawal of Stratview Research to explore the evolving FRP Rebar landscape in the Middle East, from corrosion challenges and performance advantages over traditional steel reinforcement to emerging infrastructure applications, market opportunities, adoption barriers, and the future of FRP technology in the region.
Traditional steel reinforcement has long been the backbone of infrastructure development. However, corrosion, durability concerns, and long-term maintenance costs are driving the search for alternative reinforcement solutions. Could Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) rebars be the next big shift in the construction industry? With the Middle East investing heavily in ambitious infrastructure projects, FRP technology is gaining attention as a promising solution for more durable and corrosion-resistant structures.
Join Stratview Research for an insightful, expert-led conversation exploring the current state of FRP Rebar technology, its growing market potential, and the opportunities and challenges shaping its adoption across the Middle East.
