Carbon Fiber Market By Type (Continuous carbon fiber, Long carbon fiber, Short carbon fiber), By Raw Material (PAN-Based carbon fiber, Pitch-Based and Rayon-Based carbon fiber), By Form (Composite carbon fiber, Non-Composite carbon fiber), By End Use Industry (Aerospace amd Dfense, Sports/Leisure, Wind Turbines, Molding and Compounds, Automotive, Pressure Vessels, Civil Engineering, Marine, Pultrusion Misc., Misc. Consumer, Sailing/Yacht Building, Others): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2023-2032

The global carbon fiber market was valued at $5.5 billion in 2022, and is projected to reach $16.0 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 11.4% from 2023 to 2032.

Carbon fibers possess characteristics such as lightweight, high tensile strength, high elastic modulus, thermal & electrical conductivity, low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), temperature tolerance, and fire retardancy. These properties make them ideal for various applications across aerospace & defense, sports, wind turbines, molding & compounds, automotive, pressure vessels, civil engineering, marine, pultrusion misc., misc. consumer, sailing/yacht, and other industries (misc. energy, oil & gas, medical, and industrial rollers). Detailed description of various raw materials, such as polyacrylonitrile (PAN), petroleum & coal pitch, and rayon used to produce carbon fiber is included in the report. In addition, types such as continuous, long, and short carbon fibers with composite and non-composite forms are also included.

Carbon fiber possess favorable properties such as high tensile strength and greater design flexibility, which make it a preferred solution for manufacturers involved in manufacturing automotive components, such as door module, chassis, bumper beams, hoods, wheels, front gearings, and engines. These automotive components are used by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), which thereby create high demand in the aftermarket. Use of carbon fibers results in higher weight saving and improves the fuel efficiency of vehicles.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced an investment of $19.7 million for the Vehicle Technologies Office to support R&D of advanced vehicle technologies, including batteries and lightweight & low-cost carbon fiber for the development of energy-efficient automobiles. Increased demand for eco-friendly and low volatile organic compounds (VOCs) products in vehicles enhances the need for carbon fiber products in the automotive industry. It is mandatory for vehicle manufacturers to reduce the emission and use of toxic coatings, which are expected to be overcome by use of carbon fiber products. These factors are anticipated to drive the carbon fibers market during the forecast period.

The leading raw material suppliers prefer supplying carbon fiber to these due to the stable and long-term scheduled projects. The use of carbon fiber products in the automotive industry is restricted due to its high cost. Only premium vehicle manufacturers such as Lamborghini, BMW, and Mercedes utilize carbon fiber components, which leads to uncertainty in supply of carbon fiber in this industry. The continued unavailability of carbon fiber is thus anticipated to hamper market growth during the forecast period.

Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (polyetheretherketone [CFR-PEEK]) implants deliver numerous advantages over traditional metal implants made of stainless steel and titanium alloys. The radiolucent property and lower modulus of elasticity of carbon fiber materials make them ideal for use in the medical industry. The radiolucent property offers efficient artifact-free radiographic imaging and lower modulus of elasticity, which matches well with bone. CFR-PEEK has superior fatigue strength as compared to most metal implants. The elasticity modulus of CFR-PEEK is 3.5 GPA, and it offers high bending strength. Growth in usage of carbon fiber products in implants, spine surgery, orthopedic trauma, high tibial osteotomy, and musculoskeletal oncology is expected to create new avenues for the carbon fiber market in the medical industry.

The carbon fiber market is segmented on the basis of raw material, type, form, end-use industry, and region. On the basis of raw material, the market is bifurcated into PAN-based carbon fiber, and pitch-based & rayon-based carbon fiber. On the basis of type, it is categorized into continuous, long, and short carbon fibers. On the basis of form the market is bifurcated into composite and non-composite carbon fibers.

On the basis of end-use industry, the market is fragmented into aerospace & defense, sports/leisure, wind turbines, molding & compounds, automotive, pressure vessels, civil engineering, marine, pultrusion misc., misc. consumer, sailing/yacht building, and others. On the basis of region, the market is studied across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
