Glass reinforced plastics, GRP, are a form of fiber reinforced plastics, FRP, which were introduced for marine structural applications in the 1940's in the form of Navy personnel boats. Since that time fiberglass have found widespread acceptance for yachts and small boats such as fishing trawlers up to 34 m in length. Although the future of glass reinforced plastics for larger ship structures is very promising, economic factors, and to some degree, questions of durability, limit their applicability.

Manufacturers will focus on cost-effective automobiles and lightweight materials, the booming automotive industry, more and more wind power plants to meet the energy needs of the growing population, and the ratio of glass fiber reinforced plastics with high adoption rate.Other factors contributing t
