Growth Opportunities in the Carbon Fiber Market 2009-2014
Lucintel, April 2009, Pages: 421
Background:
The carbon fiber is a new breed of high-strength material. In recent decades, carbon fibers have found wide applications in commercial aircraft (up to 50% of the structure as composites), along with recreational (about 50% penetration in golf and fishing pole as units) and industrial (low penetration with high growth) markets, as the price of carbon fiber has stabilized and technologies have matured. The market for carbon fiber has experienced a good growth in recent years. The growth rate for the last 23 years was about 12%.
Significant changes have taken place in carbon fiber market in last 4-5 years. There was shortage of carbon fiber during 2005-2006, however market scenario is rapidly changing due to global economic recession. From the perspective of carbon fiber suppliers, demand has slipped noticeably in the last six months as the global economy has worsened. At the same time, supply has increased to the degree some manufacturers now have ample supply of carbon fiber with relatively low lead times to consumers. According to the author, global carbon fiber market is estimated to reach $2.4 billion in 2014.
The author has identified the best and worst performing markets in 2008. For the next five years, the global carbon fiber market is expected to grow 9.8% per year; however, individual results vary greatly from negative growth to as high as 29% per year. Discover which applications will grow the fastest and how changing penetration trends will affect the marketplace.
