Carbon Fiber Market witnessing the growth at a CAGR 12.88%

The global carbon fiber market by volume was 65.90 thousand tons in 2015 and is projected to reach 120.75 thousand tons in 2020, witnessing the growth at a CAGR of 12.88% for the forecast period. Carbon fiber is strong and light-weight material.

It is a thin strand of carbon, which can be twisted together like a yarn, and they are woven together to form a cloth like structure. Additionally, to give it a shape, it is coated with a plastic or stiff resin. Carbon fibers are generally combined with other materials to form a composite, which when combined with plastic resin and molded forms carbon fiber reinforced polymer.

Carbon fibers, owing to its high tensile strength, light-weight, high chemical resistance, high stiffness, and low thermal expansion and high temperature tolerance, are becoming an integral part of various industrial and commercial applications. In the global carbon fibers market, the following major end-user industry segments were taken into consideration: aerospace and defense, medical, automotive, sporting goods, alternative energy, electronics, construction and infrastructure, textiles, and filtration.

Carbon fiber manufacturers are currently riding on the wave of the growing demand for fuel-efficient vehicles, as well as the focus on production of energy/electricity from renewable sources. Additionally, carbon fibers are being extensively used in the aerospace and defense sector.

Aircraft manufacturers, such as Boeing and Airbus, are utilizing carbon fibers in the manufacturing of the aircrafts and aircraft parts, which in turn is aiding in reducing the weight of the aircrafts by approximately 50%. For instance, Boeing manufactured its Boeing 787 Dreamliner mostly of carbon-fiber-reinforced-polymer, instead of the traditional aluminum structure.

Market Dynamics of the Global Carbon Fibers Market:

Drivers

Increasing demand for fuel-efficient vehicles
Accelerating usage in aerospace and defense
Shifting focus on production of electricity and energy from renewable sources

Restraints

High investment costs
Inadequate production capacity
