Market Opportunities

  • Surging deployment of carbon fiber in automotive industry
  • Increasing demand for light weight vehicle

Market Definition

Carbon fibre is a composition of carbon atoms which bonded together to form a long carbon chain. They are around 5 to 10 micrometres in diameter. Thousands of fibres are combined to form a tow, which can be highly used in fabric. Low weight to strength ratio, high chemical resistance, high temperature tolerance, High stiffness, high tensile strength, and low thermal expansion are some of the advantages of carbon fibres.

Carbon Fiber Market Dynamics

Drivers

  • Increasing demand for carbon fiber in 3D printing technologies

Carbon fiber production is anticipated to grow globally because of its usage in the new and increasing 3D printing technologies. The usage of carbon fibers make the 3D printing process much more optimized and streamlined. As a result, 3D printing is gaining traction globally and being used in various industries such as medical industry. Thus, increasing demand for carbon fiber in 3D printing technologies is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.

  • Growing usage of carbon fiber in aerospace and defense sector

Aerospace and defense sectors are the major sectors that extensively use carbon fiber and cover the largest market share based on end-user industries. In last few years, there have been several novel products added in aerospace and defense sectors. Carbon fibers are the perfect choice for the many aerospace and defense applications because they offer high strength, endurance, and stability. In the defense sector, the carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP) is used in ground defense, missile defense and military marine. Therefore, growing usage of carbon fiber in aerospace and defense sector is likely to boost the market growth.

Opportunities

  • Surging deployment of carbon fiber in automotive industry

Carbon fiber is being widely deployed in the automotive sector to manufacture 3D-printed car parts. Carbon fiber is used owing to their mechanical and physical properties, making it an efficient and reliable material for the automotive sector. As a result of excellent properties such as superior temperature tolerance and chemical resistance, high tensile strength, low weight and distinguished thermal expansion, the demand for the carbon fiber increases in automotive industry which will create lucrative opportunities for the market growth.

  • Increasing demand for light weight vehicle

Growing demand for lightweight automobiles is likely to generate immense opportunities for the market growth. According to a report published by U.S. Department of Energy, 10 percent reduction in automobile weight can result in a 6 to 8 percent fuel economy improvement. Carbon fiber based composites are highly feasible and lightweight. For instance, carbon fiber tapes are generally 60 percent lighter than their counterparts. This is projected to increase the demand for lightweight materials such as carbon fiber in upcoming period.

Restraints/ Challenge

  • Fluctuation prices of raw materials

Volatility in the prices of raw materials such as polyacrylonitrile (PAN) poses a major problem to the growth of carbon fiber market during the forecast period. Additionally, manufacturing low-cost carbon fiber is expected to be the biggest and foremost challenge for the market's growth.
