Description

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Non-metallic Central Strength Member (CSM) market size was valued at US$ 277 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 415 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 5.8% during review period.
Non-metallic Central Strength Member (CSM) is a core reinforcing component used in fiber optic cables—typically made of Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP)—that provides structural integrity without using metal.It sits at the very center of the cable, acting as the backbone to prevent the fiber from stretching or breaking during installation and under tensile stress.
Market Size: In 2025, global production of non-metallic central strength members for fiber optic cables reached 35.90 million kilometers, with an average selling price of US$7.5 per kilometer and total production capacity of approximately 45.00 million kilometers. Gross Margin: The industry gross margin is approximately 20%–30%. Cost Structure: Direct materials account for approximately 60%–75%, manufacturing overhead accounts for approximately 15%–25%, and labor costs account for approximately 5%–10%. Industry Chain: The upstream includes glass fiber yarn, aramid fiber/aramid yarn, epoxy resin/unsaturated resin, curing agents, coating materials, and other raw materials, while the downstream consists of fiber optic cable manufacturers.
From a demand-structure perspective, the market foundation for non-metallic central strength members is mainly supported by continuous investment in fixed broadband, FTTH, data-center interconnection, power communication networks, and all-dielectric aerial cables. Its growth is not tied to a single telecom investment cycle, but is driven by multi-regional network upgrades and the lightweighting of optical cable structures. Compared with metallic strength members, non-metallic CSM products offer stronger advantages in electrical insulation, lightning resistance, corrosion resistance, weight reduction, and installation safety, making them better suited to all-dielectric and high-reliability cable designs. On the supply side, the industry has developed a clear division of labor: China and India are important manufacturing bases for standard FRP, GFRP, and KFRP products, while more mature markets tend to focus on higher-performance, coated, and customized products. Future competition will shift from price-led rivalry toward low shrinkage, low creep, water-blocking performance, dimensional stability, and compatibility with high-speed cabling processes. Policy support for gigabit and 10-gigabit networks should continue to support demand, while growth in mature markets is expected to normalize as coverage improves.
