“Rising Adoption in Aerospace and Automotive Industries”
- The most significant trend in the global Carbon Fiber (CF) and Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics (CFRP) market is their rising adoption in aerospace and automotive industries due to the increasing need for lightweight and fuel-efficient materials
- In aerospace, CFRP is crucial for reducing aircraft weight and improving fuel economy. Boeing 787 Dreamliner and Airbus A350 XWB incorporate more than 50% CFRP in their airframes, directly contributing to fuel savings and lower emissions as per Mordor Intelligence and Boeing data
- In automotive, leading manufacturers such as BMW, Audi, and Lamborghini are integrating CFRP in vehicle chassis and components to reduce weight and enhance performance. BMW’s i-series electric vehicles utilize CFRP for structural integrity and range efficiency
- The global push for sustainability is also fueling this trend. Lightweight materials lead to energy savings, helping industries comply with environmental goals and carbon emission targets under Paris Agreement commitments
