Global Recycled Carbon Fiber Market
The Global Recycled Carbon Fiber Market was valued at USD 148.5 million in 2022 and is expected to expand to USD 333.8 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 8.39% during the forecast period 2023-2030.
Recycled carbon fiber is a waste or other fiber composites which can be recycled using 4 types of technologies. There are 2 main types of carbon fiber waste: The 1st type of waste is virgin carbon fiber offcuts of the product generated from dry fiber and 2nd is the non-used expired material, which is also called scrap.
Recycled carbon fiber obtained from transportation & automotive is compatible with the thermoset and thermoplastic resin matrix. It is used in some sectors such as aerospace & defense, automotive & transportation, industrial, marine, consumer goods, sporting goods, and other end-use industries.
Market Drivers
The increase in the demand for lightweight vehicles, the rising number of carbon fiber scrap recycling, its growing reuse in the wind energy sector, and the cost-effectiveness of recycled carbon fiber are some of the important factors driving the market demand.
Furthermore, shifting focus towards sustainability, advancement in R&D for recycling techniques, and growing potential demand from additive manufacturing and 3D printing sectors are boosting the market.
Market Restraints
The availability of various alternatives or substitutes and supply chain security for recycled carbon fiber are some of the factors hindering the global recycled carbon fiber market's growth
