However, challenges related to composite carbon recycling may hinder distribution efficiency. The high cost associated with the recycling process impacts the overall product cost and poses a challenge to the market’s growth.

The global carbon fiber composites market is witnessing significant growth in different regions. In North America, the market is expected to capture a 41% market share in 2022 due to the concentration of aircraft manufacturers and the increased use of composites in aircraft.

Conversely, Europe is likely to exhibit noteworthy gains in the aerospace sector with a CAGR of 7.7%. The region is the headquarters for key aerospace composite manufacturers and has a high demand from the aerospace & defense, and wind energy industries. Europe also dominates global commercial aircraft production and offshore wind energy installations.

The Asia Pacific market is predicted to expand at a CAGR of 4.7%, driven by increased vehicle production and sales, growing purchasing power, and wider cargo transport.

In terms of the matrix material, polymer-based carbon fibers are expected to dominate, reaching around US$ 21 billion by 2033, with thermosetting polymers experiencing substantial growth. Metal matrix carbon fiber composites may also flourish due to their unique properties, such as fire and radiation resistance, transverse stiffness, and durability.

The aerospace & defense segment is expected to be the primary beneficiary of carbon fiber composites demand, accounting for over 60.8% of revenue by 2022. Carbon fibers play a vital role in enhancing aircraft parts’ fatigue and oxidation resistance, particularly in the aerospace industry.

The automotive industry is also projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.4% from 2022 to 2032, driven by the increasing demand for electric vehicles and the use of carbon fiber composites to extend their range.

Competitive Landscape

Key players in the global carbon fiber composites market include Toray+Zoltek, SGL, Toho, MRC, Hexcel, Rock West Composites, Solvay, and Hengshen.

  • Solvay and SGL Carbon signed a joint development agreement (JDA) in December 2019 to bring to market the first composite materials based on large-tow intermediate modulus (IM) carbon fiber. These materials clarify the need to reduce prices and CO2 emissions while improving next-generation commercial aircraft’s manufacturing process and fuel efficiency.
  • Teijin Limited acquired Renegade Materials Corporation in February 2019, a North American supplier of highly heat-resistant thermoset prepreg for the aerospace industry. This contributed to the company’s position as the leading solutions provider for aerospace applications.
  • Hexcel launched a new product line in May 2022 that encompasses Hexcel resin systems with bio-derived resin content with natural fiber reinforcements. To construct material solutions for Automotive, Winter Sports, Marine, and Wind Energy applications.
