Europe Carbon Fiber Market Outlook 2031:
The Europe carbon fiber market size was valued at USD 888.15 Million in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 1.74 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 7.8% during the forecast period 2023 - 2031. The growth of the market is attributed to rising demand for light weight and fuel-efficient vehicles in various industries.
Carbon fiber is made up of a lengthy strand of carbon atoms linked together. The fibers are rigid, robust, and lightweight. The aircraft and aerospace industries, as well as wind energy and the automobile sector with improved resin systems, have the major demand for carbon fiber.
Carbon fiber was first developed in the late 1950s and made its debut in footwear over a decade ago owing to its lightweight and stiff properties, then due to its structure and properties established a global demand in various industries.
Major carbon fiber manufacturing in the Europe is done in Hungary, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom and the laws governing carbon fiber exports are less stringent.
Carbon Fiber Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
- The EU renewal energy policies and support of the wind energy sector are projected to boost the market during the forecast period.
- Obligatory vehicle emission reduction targets are anticipated to drive the market.
- Less restrictive trade policies on carbon fiber export in the region are the major factor fueling the market.
- Rising aircraft manufacturing industries in the region are major factors boosting the market in the coming years.
- High cost of production act as key challenges that can hinder the market growth.
- Strong policies for intellectual property rights on research and development of carbon fibers are expected to create significant opportunities for the market players.
