Ropes are formed from natural and synthetic materials, as well as metals such as steel. Petrochemicals and modest amounts of polymeric compounds are utilised as basic materials for synthetic ropes. Synthetic ropes are more resilient and lightweight than traditional ropes. Because of qualities like as bend fatigue durability, high strength-to-weight ratio, and robust spooling capabilities, synthetic ropes are frequently employed in a variety of crane applications.
Synthetic ropes are employed in the nautical and fishing industries due to their light weight, reduced knocking up and making down time, ease of handling, floating qualities, and lack of re-lubrication. Polypropylene ropes have many advantages, including great insulating capacity, floatability on water, resistance in chemically active situations, and zero absorption. They can also withstand high temperatures of up to 80°C and come in a range of colours. Aramid rope is used as a substitute for steel cable because of its less weight and chemical resistance to rusting. In the transportation business, synthetic ropes are used for binding purposes in transportation by road, sea, or air, whereas in the oil and gas industry, it is utilised in drilling lines, anchor lines, marine riser tensioner lines, and tubing lines.
Fluctuating prices of raw material is expected to be one of the restraining factors for growth of the synthetic ropes market, over the forecast period. Business expansions in different geographies and new product development, are some strategies adopted by the top players in the synthetic rope market. In June 2016, Bridon International limited and Bekaert, collaborated to form The Bridon-Bekaert Ropes Group. This has increased the company’s reach to 17 countries and has added to the global reach and expertise of the company in the synthetic rope market. Some of the major companies operating in the global synthetic Rope Market are Samson Rope Technologies, Cortland Limited, WireCo World Group, Marlow Ropes, Cortland Limited, and Bridon International Limited.
