Growth Opportunities in the Global Carbon Fiber Market 2011-2016
Lucintel, July 2011, Pages: 291
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 (approximately 50% penetration in golf and fishing rods 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 grown steadily in recent years, except 2009 as the recession affected various parts of the world. The growth rate for the last 23 years has been approximately 10%.
Significant changes have taken place in the carbon fiber market over the last four to five years. There was shortage of carbon fiber during 2005?2006, yet the market scenario has rapidly changed due to global economic downturn. From the perspective of carbon fiber suppliers, demand slipped noticeably in first three quarters of 2009 as the global economy worsened; however, the market saw very high growth in 2010. The gap between supply and demand has narrowed.
According to Lucintel's analysis, the global carbon fiber market is estimated to reach $2.9 billion by 2016. Lucintel has identified the best and worst performing markets in 2010.
