Carbon Fiber Market Dynamics (including market size, share, trends, growth, forecast, and industry analysis)
Key Drivers
The strong demand for carbon fiber among the automotive, aerospace & defense, and wind energy industries is a key driver contributing to the growth of the global carbon fiber market size. As per the carbon fiber market report, the growing requirement for lightweight vehicles and the rising automotive demand are some other factors surging the growth of the carbon fiber market share in terms of revenue. With the growing environmental concerns, consumers are proactively searching for fuel-efficient vehicles to stick to the government regulations regarding automotive pollution and to reduce the amount of CO2 emission from the vehicles. The rapid growth in the aerospace sector in countries such as Europe and North America is one of the emerging carbon fiber market trends that is fuelling the carbon fiber industry demand.
There has been an upsurge in demand for commercial aviation, particularly in the aerospace sector, due to the rising disposable income and globalization. Consumers are now emphasizing their health and are getting included in various physical and sports activities. This has surged the application of carbon fiber in various sports and leisure equipment to fulfill the increasing demand of the consumers. All these factors will attract a large number of end-users towards the adoption of carbon fiber during the forecast period. The rising propylene production has accelerated the demand for polyacrylonitrile, which is considered an essential raw material for the production of carbon fiber. As per the carbon fiber market research, the increasing number of research and development activities is another factor that will have a positive influence on the market’s demand. According to the carbon fiber market outlook, the emergence of the COVID-19 has adversely impacted the demand of the automotive market, thus influencing the demand for the carbon fiber market. However, the market is projected to bounce back in 2021.
