概述
2023年,全球CF和CFRP(碳纖維和碳纖維增強塑膠)市場達到331億美元,預計2031年將達到849億美元,2024-2031年預測期間複合年成長率為12.5%。
消費性電子產業有可能為全球市場開闢一條主要成長途徑。 2023 年 12 月,中國消費電子巨頭聯想宣布,將使用東麗工業有限公司開發的再生碳纖維來製造其廣受歡迎的 ThinkPad 系列筆記型電腦的機身。
儘管對碳纖維的需求迅速增加,但整體回收能力並沒有太大成長。隨著複合材料在工程應用中變得越來越普遍,迫切需要加強回收和再生複合材料的使用。只要回收能力仍然較低,就會阻礙全球市場的成長。
動力學
航太應用中擴大採用碳纖維
現代商用客機的機身結構已用鋁合金取代碳纖維複合材料。它有助於減輕重量並提高燃油效率。新型空中巴士 A350 和波音 787 就是這一趨勢最突出的例子。軍用飛機也使用複合材料,因為它提高了飛機的隱身特性。美國的洛克希德·馬丁公司的F-35、韓國的KF-21 Boramae和俄羅斯的蘇霍伊Su-57都是採用複合材料的第五代隱形戰鬥機。
航太運載火箭也利用碳纖維複合材料來製造酬載整流罩和燃料箱。 SpaceX 的獵鷹 9 號運載火箭的推進劑箱和整流罩大量使用碳纖維複合材料。隨著私人航太公司成為航太發射產業中越來越重要的參與者,未來幾年航空航太領域對碳纖維複合材料的需求將持續成長。
全球風能產量的成長
國際能源總署(IEA)資料顯示,2023年全球風能產量較上年成長14%,達906吉瓦。全球風能理事會(GWEC)進一步估計,2023年至2028年的未來五年內將新增近680吉瓦的新增產能。
風力渦輪機幾乎全部由碳纖維複合材料製造,以減輕整體重量並使運輸和安裝相對容易。此外,複合材料的使用確保不存在腐蝕,並且風力渦輪機可以在整個季節保持運作。風能生產的擴大將在預測期內繼續產生大量需求。
缺乏統一的監管標準
由於碳纖維及其複合材料是相對較新的材料,全球監管指南和標準尚未隨著時代的變化而發展。與鋼合金、鋁和鈦等更主流的材料不同,目前對於材料性能和標準還沒有統一的國際指南。因此,每個製造商都制定了自己的標準。
缺乏統一標準會阻礙互通性,從而阻礙全球市場的成長,因為每個最終用戶都需要重新驗證規範以確保在範圍內。它不僅更耗時,而且阻礙了產業使用碳纖維複合材料,而是更喜歡金屬合金等標準化材料的安全性。
Overview
Global CF & CFRP (Carbon Fibers And Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics) Market reached US$ 33.1 Billion in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 84.9 Billion by 2031, growing with a CAGR of 12.5% during the forecast period 2024-2031.
The consumer electronics industry could potentially open up a major avenue of growth for the global market. In December 2023, the Chinese consumer electronic giant Lenovo announced that it was using recycled carbon fiber developed by Toray Industries Ltd, for fabricating the body of its popular ThinkPad series of laptops.
Overall recycling capacity hasn't grown much, even as demand for carbon fiber increases rapidly. As composites become more common in engineering applications, there is a glaring need to step up the usage of recycled and reclaimed composites. As long as the recycling capacity remains low, it will hamstring global market growth.
Dynamics
Increasing Adoption of Carbon Fiber in Aerospace Applications
Modern commercial airliners have substituted aluminum alloys for carbon fiber composites in their body structure. It helps in reducing weight and improving fuel efficiency. The new Airbus A350 and the Boeing 787 are the most prominent examples of this trend. Military aircraft are also making usage of composite materials since it improves the aircraft's stealth characteristics. The U.S.'s Lockheed Martin F-35, South Korea's KF-21 Boramae and Russia's Sukhoi Su-57 are some of the fifth generation stealth fighter jets which make use of composite materials.
Space launch vehicles are also utilizing carbon fiber composites for manufacturing payload fairings and fuel tanks. The Falcon 9 launch rocket of SpaceX makes extensive usage of carbon fiber composites for its propellant tanks and fairings. With private space companies becoming increasingly important players in the space launch industry, the demand for carbon fiber composites from the aerospace sector will continue to rise in the coming years.
Growth of Global Wind Energy Production
According to data from the international energy agency (IEA), global wind energy production increased by 14% in 2023 from the previous year to reach 906 GW. The global wind energy council (GWEC) further estimates that nearly 680 GW of new capacity will added over the next five years from 2023 to 2028. China is expected to account for nearly half of the total global wind energy capacity addition over this period.
Wind turbines are almost exclusively manufactured from carbon fiber composites in order to reduce overall weight and make transportation and installation relatively easier. Furthermore, composite usage ensures that there is no corrosion and that the wind turbine can remain operational throughout the seasons. The expansion of wind energy production will continue to generate significant demand during the forecast period.
Lack of Uniform Regulatory Standards
Since carbon fiber and its composites are relatively new materials, global regulatory guidelines and standards have not yet evolved in line with changing times. Unlike more mainstream materials like steel alloys, aluminum and titanium, there are currently no uniform international guidelines for material performance and standards. As a result, each manufacturer devises his own standards.
The lack of uniform standards handicaps global market growth by preventing interoperability, as each end-user needs to re-verify the specifications to ensure that there are within bounds. Not only is it more time-consuming, but also prevents the industries from utilizing carbon fiber composites, instead preferring the safety of standardized materials like metal alloys.
The global CF & CFRP market is segmented based on source, precursor, resin, modulus, manufacturing process, end-user and region.
Virgin Carbon Fiber Will Continue to Remain the Main Source for CFRP Production
Since the application of carbon fiber and its derivatives is increasing in various engineering industries, the demand for virgin carbon fiber has grown over the past decade. A key advantages of using virgin carbon fiber is that its production can be scaled up rapidly, allowing producers to respond quickly to changes in demand dynamics. Also, anew production methods have led to a reduction in carbon fiber prices.
Modern recycling technologies have ensured that nearly 90% of carbon fiber can be reused without compromising its mechanical properties. However, there isn't a lot of recycled carbon fiber that can be utilized for industrial applications. It will take another decade of sustained demand growth to see an appreciable increase in the usage of recycled carbon fiber.
Asia-Pacific Will Have the Fastest Market Growth
China is currently in the midst of a decades-long plan to increase the share of renewables within its energy mix. It is partially linked towards reducing dependence on imported fossil fuels. Chinese OEMs accounted for nearly 85% of the global production of onshore wind turbines in 2023. India also increased its installed capacity by 53% in 2023 and is expected to follow China by having the second-highest total capacity in the region.
Apart from wind energy, the aerospace sector in Asia-Pacific has witnessed a boom in demand for carbon fiber composites. India is set to launch its first manned space mission, Gaganyaan in mid to late 2025. Similarly, China has committed towards launching a manned lunar mission by early 2031. The expansion of national space programs will create major growth opportunities for the market over the long term.
For manufacturers, the key challenge during the beginning of the pandemic was fulfilling existing orders, especially as lockdowns began to disrupt global trade. Research and development projects of the industry also began to suffer as most companies drastically slashed R&D budgets to stay afloat.
The pandemic period did lead to an overall decline in the market, however demand recovered strongly, especially in aerospace and electronics manufacturing industries. Companies are also devoting a large amount of capital towards accelerating high-value R&D. Overall, there will not be any negative implications in the long term for the global CF & CFRP market due to the pandemic.
The war has mostly impacted the markets for carbon fiber and its composites in Russia and Ukraine. Ukraine has experienced widespread devastation due to the war and hence, civilian demand for carbon fiber has been almost entirely wiped out. Currently, most demand is generated by Ukrainian military for air and naval drone manufacturing.
In Russia, the trade embargoes put in place by U.S. and EU have cutoff access to western-made carbon fiber supplies for domestic companies. To keep up defence production, many Russian companies are actively using shell corporations and routing shipping through third countries to source material from western companies. Furthermore, under a government directive, domestic producers have increased the production of carbon fiber reinforced composite materials.
By Manufacturing Process
The major global players in the market include Toray Industries Ltd., Teijin Limited, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, Hexcel Corporation, Solvay SA, SGL Carbon, Kureha Corporation, Hyosung Advanced Materials, Jilin Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd. and Jiangsu Hengshen Co., Ltd.
