Carbon Fiber in Automotive Market Size Estimation, Price Trends, Sales, Industry

Posted by Sapana on February 28th, 2020

Market Overview:

Carbon fiber is material that is composed of carbon atoms with diameter of about 5 to 10 micrometers. Carbon fiber offers many properties, which includes light weight, high strength-to-weight ratio, very high modulus elasticity-to-weight ratio, high strength, and corrosion resistance. There have been efforts to introduce carbon fiber in mass production for passenger cars, which include companies such as Ford, and General Motors. Some of the concept cars are also making extensive use of carbon fiber composites so as to make the vehicle light weight. In India, the National Aeronautical Laboratory (NAL) has developed technology for the production of carbon fiber.

The wide spread use of carbon fiber is expected to drive the market in future. Carbon Fiber is five times stronger than metal, which is heavier in weight. The heavy weight of metal reduces the efficiency of vehicle makes it less likely for the car manufacturers to use it.  The light weight property of carbon fiber makes it easier to adopt in car manufacture. The  various applications of carbon fiber are vehicle exterior, power train system, under body system, chassis system, and interior. The increased use of carbon fiber in exterior components is expected to drive the market in near future.

Regional Analysis

North America accounted for the largest market share for carbon thermoplastic composites in 2016. The growth of the carbon thermoplastic composites market in this region is attributed to the growing demand from the aerospace and automotive industry due to the growing demand for fuel-efficient products to reduce the environmental issues. Growing marine industry is also driving the market growth as a result of increasing demand for lightweight products by the U.S. Federal Government. Increasing use of renewable energy due to fluctuating crude oil prices is propelling the market for CFRTP in this region.

Europe is another prominent market for the CFRTP due to increasing R&D in the aerospace & defense industry for expanding the scope of aerospace industry beyond LLC products. Targets set by the European Union to reduce the level of carbon emission by the vehicles is expected to boost the product demand in this region.

The Asia Pacific is witnessing a significant growth in the carbon thermoplastic composites due to the growing aerospace and automotive industry. For instance, according to the Indian Brand Equity Foundation, around 550 commercial aircraft in India are in operation as of now. Also, passenger vehicle production in India is expected to reach up to 10 million by 2020. Additionally, DowAksa has opened the DowAksa global composites center in turkey of manufacturing advanced fiber reinforced composites mainly for the defense & commercial aviation.
