According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Carbon Fiber Market is accounted for $2.72 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $4.51 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 8.8% during the forecast period. Carbon fibre is one of the most corrosion- and heat-resistant materials because of its high strength, low weight, high stiffness, and electrical conductivity. The market is expanding as a result of rising demand for lightweight products from the aerospace and defence, automotive, and wind energy industries as well as efforts to reduce carbon emissions. However, the market expansion in the emerging nation is also being driven by the expanding building and construction industry. As concrete, steel, wood, and masonry are typically strengthened and reinforced with carbon fibre. Additionally, the consumer electronics industry's growing use of carbon fibre composites to make its products lighter, thinner, and more textured is predicted to fuel market expansion.
According to International Health, Racquet & Sports club Association (IHRSA) report released in 2019, the global fitness industry total revenue was $94 billion in 2018.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Increasing use of carbon fiber in Sports & Fitness Industry
Carbon fibres are frequently employed in the production of sporting goods because of their great strength and low weight. Carbon fibre is used to make a variety of sports equipment, including tennis racquets, oars, pickle ball paddles, archery, hockey sticks, fishing rods, baseball bats, and bicycles. When creating extremely specialised applications, carbon fibres offer design flexibility. Equipment's precise shape is essential to its performance and is easily achievable with carbon fibre composites. Golfers and cyclists benefit from the improved performance of carbon fibre. The tennis racket is where carbon fibre is used in sports equipment most specifically. Therefore, the aforementioned elements are fueling the market for carbon fibre in a variety of athletic goods.
Restraint:
High Cost of Products
Due to its high performance and lightweight characteristics, carbon composites are frequently utilised in the wind energy, oil & gas, construction, aerospace, and automotive industries. However, the product is more expensive than metal. A significant barrier preventing the widespread use of carbon composites in many industries is the product's price. The yield and price of the precursor used to make CF have a direct impact on its price. Currently, PAN-based carbon fibres have a conversion efficiency of just 50% and cost an average of USD 21.5 per kg for non-aerospace grade materials.
Opportunity:
Increase in demand from Clean Energy Sector
The market for carbon fibre is significantly influenced by the wind energy industry. The world is now acknowledging the creation of energy from renewable resources due to the depletion of fossil fuels. Turbine blades are frequently made of carbon fibre, which results in more aerodynamically efficient, lighter, longer, stiffer, and generally more efficient wind turbines that have lower Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE). The utilisation of carbon fibre will rise as a result of developments in the wind energy field. An increase in wind energy investment is beneficial for the market's expansion because the global government is putting more emphasis on environmental issues.
Threat:
Availability of substitutes
The high price of carbon fibre is a significant issue with the expansion of the market. Due to their high price, these composites are not widely used, and for the manufacturer, finding low-cost technologies is their biggest issue. Only luxurious and expensive cars in the automotive industry use carbon fibre composites. Furthermore, the development of the market is seriously hindered by alternative composites of carbon fibres made of glass fibre, aluminium, copper, basalt fibre, and natural fibre. Since these alternatives are reliable & economical and have comparable end-use applications.
Covid-19 Impact
The development of the carbon fibre sector has been hampered by the COVID-19 epidemic. Construction, aerospace, and other industries, among others, have all experienced disruptions in output. Lockdowns and restrictions, particularly in 2020, had a negative impact on supply chain and operational management. In most regions of the world, the development and marketing of automobiles had abruptly stopped. Due to COVID-19, the aerospace and defence sector, a significant end-user of the product, suffered greatly in 2020. Since there is less demand for commodities, producers in important industries need fewer carbon fibres.
The pan-based segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The pan-based segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to The PAN-based component has a number of advantages, including low density, high strength, high modulus, high temperature resistance, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance, creepage resistance, electric conduction, heat conduction, and far-infrared radiation resistance. These characteristics of PAN make it appropriate for usage in a variety of end-use industries, including the aerospace and aviation, automotive, wind energy, anti-flame clothing & materials, and sports equipment. As a result, the expansion of these end-use sectors contributes to market expansion.
The wind turbines segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The wind turbines segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period. Carbon fibres are employed in both onshore and offshore structures as a structural spar or component of blades longer than 45 metres. Carbon fiber's lower density and rigidity enable blade makers to create slimmer, lighter, and stiffer blade profiles. The demand for carbon fibre in the wind energy sector is anticipated to be driven by an increase in offshore wind power installations together with a growing demand for longer blades and larger wind turbines. Together, automotive and wind turbines account for more than half of the demand for carbon fibre, making them two additional significant applications.
Region with highest share:
North America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the area is distinguished by a dense concentration of important defence instrument manufacturers and major aircraft manufacturers like Airbus. North American auto industry behemoths place a strong emphasis on producing lightweight, high-performance vehicles, thus boosting the market in the region.
Region with highest CAGR:
Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the automobile, aerospace, defence, and wind energy industries are well-established. Companies like BMW, Mercedes, Fiat, and Ferrari, among others, are putting an emphasis on creating lightweight, fuel-efficient, low-emission vehicles, which will directly increase the usage of carbon fibre. Due to increased disposable income and globalisation, there is a rising need for commercial aviation, which in turn is driving up demand for aerospace. In Europe, particularly in the United Kingdom and Germany, there are numerous offshore wind energy facilities.
