Global Carbon Fiber Thread Market Size study & Forecast, by Product Type (Continuous Carbon Fiber Thread, Chopped Carbon Fiber Thread), by End-Use Industry (Aerospace, Automotive, Sports and Recreation, Construction and Infrastructure, Others) and Regional Analysis, 2023-2030


Global Carbon Fiber Thread Market is valued at approximately USD 1.6 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 5.3% over the forecast period 2023-2030. Carbon Fiber Threads are thin, lightweight strands made mostly of carbon atoms. They are incredibly strong and have a high tensile strength. The production process involves selecting a precursor material such as polyacrylonitrile (PAN), pitch, or rayon, which is then spun or melted into filaments. These fibers are stabilized and then undergo carbonization, where they are heated to high temperatures in a controlled environment. This process removes non-carbon components and transforms the fibers into strong, lightweight Carbon Fiber Threads. The growing need for lightweight and strong materials in industries such as aerospace and automotive is fueling the market for Carbon Fiber Threads. Additionally, the rising demand for renewable energy, driven by concerns over the environmental impact of conventional energy sources such as fossil fuels, has led to increased usage of renewable sources such as wind energy.

The aerospace industry requires lightweight materials to enhance fuel efficiency and improve overall performance. Carbon fiber threads are highly sought after in aerospace applications due to their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, making them a prime choice for the industry. According to the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) in 2022, the industry’s global leadership in innovation and the export of aerospace products is a crucial factor for workforce success. In 2021, exports from the Aerospace And Defense (A&D) industry saw a significant growth of 11.2%, reaching a total value of USD 100.4 billion. Moreover, the A&D workforce experienced a modest increase of around 6,000 employees in 2021, representing a 0.3% rise compared to the previous year. Additionally, the rise in demand for sustainable and eco-friendly materials and growing demand for renewable energy sources provides lucrative opportunities to the market. However, the excessive cost of producing Carbon Fiber Thread stifles market growth throughout the forecast period of 2023-2030.

The key regions considered for the Global Carbon Fiber Thread Market study includes Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific dominated the market in 2022 owing to increasing disposable income, urbanization, a growing middle class, and growing demand in the automotive sector. Asia Pacific is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period, owing to rising disposable income, and a growing automotive and aerospace sector. Additionally, government initiatives promoting lightweight materials and sustainable manufacturing further drive the demand for Carbon Fiber Threads in the region.
