Drivers & Restraints-
Rising Usage of CFRP to Manufacture Lightweight Vehicles will Favor Growth
Numerous companies are investing huge sums in developing processes to lower the weight of vehicles. Therefore, the usage of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) has increased in high-end supercars. CFRP has a density as low as 1.6g/cc and possesses an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. Also, lightweight cars can save around 6% to 8% of fuels and have much better fuel efficiency. These factors are anticipated to accelerate the carbon fiber market growth in the upcoming years. However, the cost of this fiber is very high. It mainly depends on the cost of the precursor and the yield, which, in turn, may obstruct growth.
Segmentation-
Large Tow Segment to Grow Rapidly Stoked by Rising Production of Intermediate Modulus
By the application, the market is categorized into aviation, aerospace & defense, automotive, wind turbines, sports & leisure, construction, and others. Based on the precursor, it is segmented into pitch and PAN. Below is a brief note on the tow criterion:
- By Tow: The market is classified into large tow and small tow. Amongst these, the large tow segment earned 3% and 24.6% in terms of the carbon fiber market share globally and in the U.S., respectively. Several companies nowadays are trying to create new strategies to develop large-tow intermediate modulus.
Regional Insights-
