China Automotive Carbon Fiber Composites Market Outlook

The China automotive carbon fiber composites market was valued at USD XX Billion in 2022 and likely reach to USD XX Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 10% during the forecast period, 2023–2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing adoption of carbon fiber for greater fuel efficiency.

Carbon fibers are about 5-10 micrometers in diameter and composed mostly of carbon atoms. Carbon fibers comes with several advantages including high stiffness, low weight to strength ratio, high tensile strength, chemical resistance, temperature tolerance, and low thermal expansion.

Automotive Carbon Fiber Composites Market Outlook

The exceptional properties of carbon fibers have increased its utilization in civil engineering, aerospace, military, and motorsports. However, the carbon filaments are relatively expensive when compared with similar other fibers, such as basalt fibers, glass fiber, and plastic fibers.

The carbon fiber is produced by bonding carbon atoms together in crystals that are aligned in parallel manner. The parallel crystal alignment across the long axis gives high strength-to-volume ratio to the carbon filament.

Therefore, several thousand carbon fibers are bundled together to form a tow which is used for fabrication processes. The carbon fiber is usually combined with other material, such as plastic to form a composite for achieving higher efficiency.

The carbon fiber is combined with a plastic resin to form carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer which has a very high strength-to-weight ratio and extremely rigid structure. Carbon fibers are also composited with other carbon compounds, such as graphite to form reinforced carbon-carbon composite, which has a very high heat tolerance.

China Automotive Carbon Fiber Composites Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities

  • Increasing electric car sales is anticipated to drive the market growth during the forecast period. 

  • Reducing the weight of electric vehicles and associated secondary cost savings associated is anticipated to spur the market growth in the coming years.

  • Growing adoption of lightweight materials and engineering solutions to produce lightweight and hybrid electrical cars are expected to boost the market expansion during the projected period.

  • High cost associated with manufacturing of automotive carbon fiber composite materials is expected to hamper the growth of market during the forecast period.

  • Increasing industrial investments for carbon fiber production and rising adoption of new technologies are anticipated to create the opportunities for the market in the coming years.
