The commercial aviation industry is increasing utilizing carbon fiber composites to provide greater stiffness and strength-to-weight ratios in aircrafts. With the rise in air traffic, aircraft manufacturers are increasing their production quantity and quality to facilitate air transportation. Commercial aircraft manufacturers are replacing conventional materials like aluminum and titanium alloys with carbon fibers for primary aircraft structures.
There is an increase in demand for carbon fiber material to manufacture various parts of commercial aircraft with optimum aerodynamic characteristics. For instance, in January 2022, Irkut’s (Moscow, Russia) MS-21-300 aircraft made its first flight from the airfield of the Irkutsk Aviation Plant. The wing of the aircraft is made from Russian-sourced carbon fiber. The Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia invested $58 million for the creation of domestic materials for the composite wing.
An increase in demand for carbon fiber in the military aircraft industry has been witnessed for manufacturing of fuel-efficient, reliable aircrafts with longer range and reduced carbon emissions. Numerous manufacturers supply carbon fiber to aerospace companies to develop aerodynamically efficient structures. For instance, Hexcel, a composite material manufacturer, is currently qualified to provide materials to a broad range of more than 100 military aircraft and rotorcraft programs. These programs include the Eurofighter Typhoon, Dassault Rafale, 35 Jet Fighter, and the F/A-18E/F Hornet.
Aviation companies are entering into agreement with carbon fiber manufacturers to develop aircraft parts with maximum strength, reduced weight, and minimum drag. For instance, in July 2021, Hexcel signed a long-term agreement with Dassault Aviation (Paris, France) to supply carbon fiber prepreg for the Falcon 10X program. Under this contract, the company aims to incorporate high-performance carbon fiber composites in the manufacturing of its aircraft wings. Such developments to manufacture durable and lightweight aircrafts is expected to drive the demand for composite carbon fiber during the forecast period.
Moreover, defense organizations from various countries partner with research universities to develop advanced carbon fiber to reduce manufacturing costs. For instance, in November 2022, Montana State University started a research project funded by a total of $25.8 million in contracts from the U.S. Army. This research included the development of a method to produce “stretch-broken” carbon fibers that can be easily molded into the complex shapes of aircraft and significantly reduce manufacturing costs. Therefore, constant research to create carbon fiber for manufacturing of lightweight and fuel-efficient aircrafts is expected to provide significant opportunities for the growth of the market.
The aviation carbon fiber market is segmented on the basis of raw material, type, end use, and region. By raw material, it is bifurcated into PAN-based carbon fiber and pitch-based carbon fiber. By type, the market is classified into continuous, long, and short. By end use, it is fragmented into commercial, military, and others. By region, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
Some major companies operating in the market include Mitsubishi Chemical Group Corporation, Nippon Steel Corporation, SGL Carbon, Teijin Limited, Toray Industries, Inc., Hexcel Corporation, Solvay, Hyosung, OJSC SvetlogorskKhimvolokno, and DowAksa.

Executive Summary
The Aviation Carbon Fiber Market is likely to experience a growth rate of 11.4% from 2022-2031 owing to increasing market demand from the commercial aviation sector.Carbon fiber is a strong and lightweight material that consists of thin, strong, and crystalline carbon threads. The use of carbon fiber in the aviation industry has increased significantly owing to constant efforts to reduce structural weight and fuel consumption. Carbon fiber is significantly lighter in weight and greater in structural strength than aluminum and steel. It is used to construct aircraft panels, fairings, floorboards, and afterbody skins. In aviation applications, using carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) materials saves approximately 14 to 20% CO2 emissions. The reinforcement is held together by a resin. The carbon fiber exhibits material properties that enable reduced structural weight compared to traditional metal solutions, thus reducing fuel consumption and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
Significant impacting factors in growth of the global aviation carbon fiber market include growth in the global aviation industry, stringent regulations to reduce environmental emissions from the aviation sector, rise in demand for low weight, environment-friendly, & fuel-efficient aircrafts, and increase in use of carbon fiber in military aircrafts. However, high cost of PAN-based carbon fiber and complex manufacturing process of carbon fiber hamper the growth of the market. Furthermore, technological advancement & research associated with carbon fiber in the aviation industry, surge in the popularity of electric aircrafts, and rise in use of carbon fiber for 3D printing in aviation are factors expected to offer growth opportunities during the forecast period.
The market also offers growth opportunities to the key players in the market. Composite materials such as carbon fiber reinforced polymers are used in 3D printing as it exhibits temperature and mechanical & chemical resistance approximately similar to metal. Composite fibers improve certain properties such as strength, stiffness, heat resistance, and durability of traditional 3D printed parts. Moreover, there is an increase in demand for carbon fiber as it is stronger than traditional thermoplastics used in 3D printing. In September 2020, Hexcel launched a new electrically conductive polymer-based carbon fiber composite for 3D printing. The company's new thermoplastic, HexPEKK EM, is specifically designed to meet the static management, electromagnetic (EM) shielding, and radiation absorption requirements of modern aircraft applications. Moreover, in August 2021, Markforged, an additive manufacturing company, developed versions of its fiber-reinforced 3D printing material to make it suitable for aerospace. The materials named Onyx FR-A and Carbon Fiber FR-A are undergoing a qualification program conducted on the company’s X7 industrial 3D printer by the National Center for Advanced Materials Performance (NCAMP). In addition, the materials are developed to meet flame, smoke, and toxicity (FST) requirements for aircraft interiors.
Surge in the popularity of electric aircrafts is also expected to offer growth opportunities during the forecast period. Electric aircrafts reduce pollution and negative effects of global warming. Growing environmental concerns are expected to drive the demand for electric aircrafts during the forecast period. The carbon fiber material is increasingly being used to manufacture electric aircrafts to enhance performance, conserve energy, and lower operational costs.
The aviation carbon fiber market is segmented on the basis of raw material, type, end use, and region. By raw material, it is bifurcated into PAN-based carbon fiber and pitch-based carbon fiber. By type, the market is classified into continuous, long, and short. By end use, it is categorized into commercial, military, and others. By region, the market is analyzed across North America (the U.S., Canada, and Mexico), Europe (the UK, Germany, France, Russia, and rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, India, Japan, South Korea, and rest of Asia-Pacific), and LAMEA (Latin America, Middle East, and Africa).
The leading companies profiled in the report include Mitsubishi Chemical Group Corporation, Nippon Steel Corporation, SGL Carbon, Teijin Limited, Toray Industries, Inc., Hexcel Corporation, Solvay, Hyosung, OJSC SvetlogorskKhimvolokno, and DowAksa. The players in the market have been actively engaged in the adoption various Strategies such as acquisition, product launch and partnership to remain competitive and gain advantage over the competitors in the market. For instance, in December 2022, Toray industries announced its subsidiary Toray Carbon Fibers Europe invested €100 million ($104 million) to build a new production line at its plant in southwest France. This investment enables the company to boost its aerospace business and meet growing demand for high-performance carbon fiber in France and other European countries.
