Global CF And CFRP Market Definition

Carbon fiber, commonly referred to as graphite fiber, is a carbon-based material with excellent structural strength while also being lightweight. The diameter of carbon fiber ranges between five to ten micrometers. While comparing based on the strength-to-weight ratio, carbon fiber is stronger than steel, which is the standard material used for industrial manufacturing. Thus, carbon fiber has garnered exponential demand from various end-user industries, especially the aerospace and automotive industries.

The aerospace industry extensively uses carbon fiber-reinforced composite materials to manufacture various components of aircraft and spacecraft. The benefits offered by carbon fiber and reinforced materials have also found significant demand in the automotive industry, especially bicycles and race cars which are meant to be lightweight to achieve maximum speeds. For such applications, carbon fiber is the perfect material.

Global CF And CFRP Market Overview

The primary growth factors for the global CF And CFRP Market involve extensive demand for carbon fiber and carbon fiber-reinforced materials in the aerospace and defense sector and developing countries offering innovative opportunities to the key players in the carbon fiber industry. The aerospace sector is expanding at a staggering rate due to its applications in the defense sector. In the defense industry, aircraft are used for various applications such as cargo, surveillance, offense, etc. The US is the leading country in the defense sector because of its exponential investment in various research and development activities for innovative, cutting-edge defense technology.

Carbon fiber being lightweight and structurally sound material has become a primary choice for manufacturing aircraft and UAVs.
