Key Growth Drivers

The surging automotive and defense sector, is likely to drive the carbon fiber composites market during the forecast period. For instance, in June 2022, Hexcel Corporation has been awarded a long-term agreement by Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin company, to supply advanced composites structure for CH-53K King Stallion heavy lift helicopter program. Furthermore, in January 2019, Teijin Industry announced to supply of TENAXPUD as an intermediate-advanced composite material for primary structural parts for Boeing. The growing aerospace industry, along with collaboration among players, is likely to boost the demand for carbon fiber composites.
Lack of skilled labor in the aerospace, automobile, and wind energy industry, are restraining the growth of the market. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, various industries suffer losses, which results in job losses and turbulence in the industry structure. Auto Car Professional, a website working towards the automotive industry, stated that India’s auto industry requires 15 million skilled workers by 2022. The decline in skilled workers is likely to impact the carbon fiber composite market.
COVID-19 slowed down the growth of the carbon fiber composites market. Disruption in the supply chain, temporary shutdown of manufacturing plants, and reduction in air traffic, were all those factors that reduce the use of carbon fiber composites in the market.

Key Trends by Market Segment:-

By Raw Material: Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) segment held the largest market share of the Global Carbon Fiber Composites Market in 2021, owing to the higher strength, density, volume, and extensive usage among industries such as aerospace, automobile, and others.

PAN is the mostly used precursor for carbon fiber, because of its higher tensile, superior strength, strong stability, and higher carbon yield.
PAN carbon fiber material is used in multiple end-user industries including aerospace, automobile, sports goods, wind energy, and others.

By Type: The recycled fiber segment accounted for the largest market share in 2021, owing to the lower cost, and adoption of material into various industries.

Recycled carbon fiber composites provide benefits such as reduced material handling and provide manufacturers with a cost-effective option.
In February 2022, Teijin Limited announced to the formation of a business alliance with Fuji Designs Co. Ltd., a Japanese manufacturer of recycled carbon to establish a business structure for the production, supply, and commercialization of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) products.

By End-Users: The aerospace and defense segment held the largest market in 2021, owing to its increased usage, and players’ regular upgradation in the technology.

In April 2022, Hexcel Corporation and Archer Aviation, an aircraft company, announced to enter into a letter of intent covering a proposed relationship for the supply of high-performance carbon fiber material that would be used in the manufacturing of Archer’s production aircraft.
According to Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, an independent international institute, India’s military spending of US$ 76.6 billion ranked third highest in the world.

By Geography: Asia Pacific accounted for the largest market share within the global Carbon Fiber Composites market in 2021, owing to the surging aerospace and defense industry.

According to Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, an independent international institute, in April 2022, total global military expenditure increased by 0.7% in real terms in 2021, to reach US$ 2113 billion. The five largest spenders in 2021 were the USA, China, India, the UK, and Russia.
As per Boeing, an aircraft industry company, in September 2021, forecasts that China’s airlines will require 8,700 new airplanes by 2040, valued at US$ 1.47 trillion.
