Carbon Fiber Market

Carbon Fiber Market



Growth Factors of Carbon Fiber Market

The carbon fiber market size was valued at USD 3.31 billion in 2023, and the market is now projected to grow from USD 3.59 billion in 2024 to USD 7.05 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.8% during the forecast period of 2023-2030.

The coronavirus outburst has halted most composites businesses. Due to the nationwide lockdown and a partial shutdown of factories there was a negative impact on the product growth. During the COVID-19 pandemic, automobile designers faced severe impacts. However, the slow but sure opening of economies in 2021 has increased demand for the product for various applications. Thus, the COVID-19 pandemic had overall affected the carbon fiber market growth.

The carbon fiber market share globally has been contributed because of the increasing product utilization in the automotive industry. This fiber is a very lightweight and strong material with a low weight-to-strength ratio. It is five times stronger and two times stiffer than steel. It has superior chemical resistance to steel. These qualities of the product have led to amplify its use in the automotive sector to create lightweight and highly durable vehicles.

The trend is that the research focuses on product manufacturing from non-conventional raw materials to creating growth opportunities. Researchers and company associates are executing projects to adapt coal tar. It is a descendant from coke production for the steel manufacturing into carbon fiber and composites. This new product might increase the coal tar pitch value by five to 55 times its current value and uncover appliances in low-weight and high-stiffness compounds.

Comprehensive Analysis of Carbon Fiber Market

The carbon fiber market and chemicals & advanced materials industry is growing at an exponential rate due to its market segmentation. This market expansion effectively provides a thorough regional assessment considering the dominant supply and demand forces that impact the advanced materials industry. These segmentations are methodically segregated as precursor type, tow, and application. The precursor types include PAN and pitch. However, the tow is large and small. The applications are classified as aviation, aerospace & defense, sports & leisure, automotive, wind turbines, construction, and others.

The Asia Pacific region is conducive to the global carbon fiber market, leading to a recall of USD 1.06 billion owing to rapid urbanization and growing government spending on infrastructure projects. The increasing use of construction composites in building tunnels, bridges, and houses in this region is boosting the market expansion.

The top players in the market play a crucial role in the chemicals & advanced materials industry assuring industrial prospectus growth and setting market standards. These players include Toray Industries, Inc. (Japan), Solvay (Belgium), Mitsubishi Chemical Carbon Fiber and Composites, Inc. (U.S.), Hexcel Corporation (U.S.), TEIJIN LIMITED (Japan), ZOLTEK Corporation (U.S.), HYOSUNG ADVANCED MATERIALS (South Korea), Advanced Composites Inc. (U.S.), Nippon Graphite Fiber Co., Ltd. (Japan), and Formosa M Co., Ltd. (South Korea), these market players present a level-playing competitive landscape.

In December 2022, Solvay signed a collaboration letter with Trillium on bio-based acrylonitrile to produce carbon fiber for various applications. The aim of this collaboration is to develop the supply chain for bio-based ACN.
