Key Findings


The global carbon fiber market is projected to grow exponentially at a CAGR of 9.55% during the forecast period 2016-2022. Growing demand of lightweight materials in the manufacturing industry is primarily driving the growth of the global market. Further, increase in the number of patents by CF products & applications by major firms, growth of manufacturing industries, perpetual collaboration & joint ventures, agreements, and market expansion practiced by the global players have propelled the growth of global carbon fiber market.


Rise in the use of carbon fiber in wind turbine blades, commercial aircraft (A380 and B787), automotive applications and other industrial uses have a positive impact on the overall market. Moreover, growth of wind energy market is expected to create new growth opportunities for the global carbon fiber market. However, high cost of carbon fiber composite and insufficient production capacity would hinder the market growth during the study period.


There has been a steady rise in the use of cleaner, safer, lighter and energy-efficient products in the overall automotive industry, particularly in North America. This has created a strong proposition for the use of carbon fibers in the manufacture of green vehicles. To channelize the growing demand of clean and fuel-efficient vehicles, many companies are increasing the use of carbon fibers in the automotive production. The companies are signing agreements with the carbon fiber supplier to achieve cost advantage and offer safer and energy efficient vehicles.


The application of carbon fibers is also increasing in other segments such as printer manufacturing and more. For example, the Markforged Company recently launched their Mark Two printer using carbon fiber in it. The Mark Two is the most recent up gradation of the company’s CFF 3D printer. Markforged describes the system as being 40 percent faster than the Mark One. As the Mark Two is capable of reinforcing nylon and carbon fiber-nylon composite parts with carbon fiber, Kevlar, fiberglass and HSHT fiberglass, it offers a number of capabilities which are not possible with traditional desktop extrusion 3D printers.


Market Segment Insights


The global carbon fiber market is segmented in terms of application, tow size and raw materials. The end user application of the carbon fiber market consist of aerospace & defense, wind energy, automotive, sporting goods, civil engineering, pipe & tank, electronics & electricals, marine, and others. The automotive application will register the highest growth rate during the forecast period owing to growth of energy-efficient and lighter vehicles. In terms of raw materials, the global carbon fiber market is divided as pan based, pitch based and rayon based. Pith based segment will have the highest compound annual growth rate due to its ultra-high elastic modulus that results in its wide application in high stiffness products. Further, pitch based carbon fibers are also high in electric and thermal conductivity. Based on tow size, the market is segment into small tow size and large tow size.


Regional Insights


Geographically, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Rest of the World. North America contributes maximum revenue towards the global carbon fiber market, due to increasing use of high quality products in aerospace & defense industry, rise in sale of demand heavy-duty vehicle (HDV) and medium-duty vehicle (MDV), easy availability of raw materials, and other supporting developments in the region. Asia Pacific and R.O.W would witness highest compound annual growth rate due to demand for high performance composite materials and rising demand in the end user industries.


Competitive Insights


The key players in the global alcohol ethyoxylate market include Toray Industries Inc. (Japan), Teijin Limited (Japan), Mitsubishi Rayon Co. Ltd. (Japan), SGL-Group (Germany), Formosa Plastics Corporation (Taiwan), and Hexcel Corporation (U.S.). The strategies followed by the aforementioned companies include both inorganic and organic such as joint ventures, collaborations, agreements, mergers & acquisitions, expansions, and technology advancements & new product development.


Recently, Mercedes-Benz has unveiled its “Vision Golf Cart” a luxury golf cart that only weighs 440 kilograms (970 pounds), largely in part due to its carbon fiber roof, rear spoiler and diffuser. Carbon fiber is also used for aesthetics on the cart, as the trim is a combination of leather, wood, carbon fiber and metals. Similarly, Cyclotron, has manufactured carbon fiber based bikes. The company combined two layers of carbon fiber with an ultra-lightweight core structure, and hence it can prevent layers of carbon fiber and less resin, without impairing stability.
