DUBLIN, April 05, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global and China Carbon Fiber and CFRP Industry Report, 2017-2021" report to their offering.
Global carbon fiber demand approximated 83,000 tons in 2016, a 12.0% increase from a year ago. China, one of the world's leading sources of carbon fiber demand, consumed 19,000 tons, 22.9% of the global total. However, China relies heavily on imported carbon fiber products (particularly high-performance ones) because of its outdated production techniques and inadequate production capacity. Only 24.9% of carbon fibers were produced locally in China in 2016 and the localization rate is expected to exceed 35.0% in 2021 along with technological advances.
Carbon fiber and its composites industry will be mainly driven by automobile, wind power, and /aviation & aerospace fields, especially new energy vehicles. Carbon fiber materials can significantly reduce the weight of vehicle body, thus saving energy, reducing emissions, and increasing mileage. However, due to high costs, carbon fiber is chiefly used in Ferrari, BMW and other luxury models. As carbon-fiber recycling industry develops, the costs will decline, enabling its application to Toyota, Ford, and other middle-end models.
As carbon fiber is produced with sophisticated production processes and advanced technology, China, isolated from these technologies and equipment because of political factors, lags far behind foreign countries.
Global and China Carbon Fiber and CFRP Industry Report, 2017-2021 highlights the following:
- Carbon fiber (definition, classification, application, level of technology, industry chain, etc.);
- Global carbon fiber market (status quo, supply & demand, competitive landscape, patent, costs & prices, development trends, etc.);
