The global market for tighter recycled fiber is poised for substantial growth, with a forecasted increase from US$0.6 billion in 2022 to US$0.9 billion by 2030. This robust expansion is expected to be driven by various factors, including increased demand for lightweight vehicles, growing environmental concerns, and a rising trend towards eco-friendly materials.
Growing Environmental Concerns: Stricter environmental regulations on waste management are propelling the demand for carbon fiber recycling. The disposal of carbon-containing waste in landfills can release harmful greenhouse gases, making carbon fiber recovery crucial for a sustainable future.
Rising Boom Around Eco-friendly Materials: Recycled carbon fiber serves as an economical and ecologically beneficial alternative to raw carbon fiber. Stringent regulations promoting recyclable and environmentally friendly materials, such as the End-of-Life Automobiles Directive, further drive market growth.
Availability of Cheaper Substitutes: Cheaper virgin fibers may pose a threat to the recycled fiber market as businesses may opt for virgin resources due to financial constraints, potentially impacting market expansion.
Asia Pacific Exhibits Rapid Growth: Asia Pacific is expected to show the fastest CAGR, driven by environmental concerns, government initiatives, technological advancements in textile recycling, and increased demand for eco-friendly packaging in the packaging and paper industries.
