Global $8.57 Bn Carbon Fiber Markets, 2021-2026 by Raw Materials, Fiber Type, Product Type, Modulus, Application, End Users – ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Global Carbon Fiber Market (2021-2026) by Raw Materials, Fiber Type, Product Type, Modulus, Application, End Users, Geography, Competitive Analysis and the Impact of Covid-19 with Ansoff Analysis” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The Global Carbon Fiber Market is estimated to be USD 5.3 Bn in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 8.57 Bn by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 10.1%.

Carbon fiber is composed of carbon atoms bonded together to form a long chain, these carbon atoms form a microscopic crystal exhibiting high strength to weight ratio. The rising product usage in the industries such as automotive, wind energy, and aerospace for reducing the weight of the components and parts used in these industries will drive market growth.

The companies operating in the market are investing in the development of coal-based carbon fibers that will create new opportunities for product consumption. In addition, the growing use of 3D Printing in several industries will surge the market demand.

However, some factors such as the relatively high cost of carbon fiber and long production cycle may affect the market growth.
