According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Carbon Fiber Solvent Market is accounted for $8.1 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $18.4 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 14.6% during the forecast period. Carbon fiber solvent is a specialized chemical used for cleaning, preparing, or treating carbon fiber surfaces. It is formulated to dissolve contaminants like oils, greases, and residues without compromising the structural integrity or surface finish of carbon fiber materials. They ensure optimal adhesion and performance of coatings, adhesives, or paints applied to carbon fiber surfaces, enhancing durability and functionality.

According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), India's military spending of USD 76.6 billion ranked third highest in the world. This was up by 0.9% from 2020. In a push to strengthen the indigenous arms industry, 64% of capital outlays in the military budget of 2021 were earmarked for acquisitions of domestically produced arms.

Market Dynamics:
