We are concerned with the long-time behavior of the growth-frag-mentation equation. We prove fine estimates on the principal eigenfunctions of the growth-fragmentation operator, giving their first-order behavior close to $0$ and $+\infty$. Using these estimates we prove a spectral gap result by following the technique in [1], which implies that solutions decay to the equilibrium exponentially fast. The growth and fragmentation coefficients we consider are quite general, essentially only assumed to behave asymptotically like power laws.
