航太複合材料碳纖維回收市場機會、成長促進因素、產業趨勢分析及預測（2025-2034年）

2024 年全球航太複合材料碳纖維回收市場價值為 1.426 億美元，預計到 2034 年將以 12.1% 的複合年成長率成長至 4.469 億美元。

回收技術的快速發展使得再生碳纖維更具成本效益且品質更高，從而促進了其在航太及相關領域的更廣泛應用。在顯著降低能耗的同時保持機械強度的新方法正在加速其商業化應用，並提升製程的永續性。不斷擴大的回收基礎設施和日益成熟的工業能力為處理飛機退役產生的複合材料廢料提供了支援。全球對循環製造的重視、更嚴格的環境目標以及更強力的監管指導也在推動對先進回收系統的投資。廢舊複合材料的日益增多以及將其轉化為高價值再生纖維的技術可行性，為大規模應用創造了有利條件。隨著回收技術的進步和供應鏈整合效率的提高，再生碳纖維正成為航太、汽車和工業應用領域日益重要的策略材料。

2024年，報廢飛機零件創造了5,990萬美元的收入。退役飛機包含大量碳纖維結構，例如機身部件、機翼組件和尾翼部件，使其成為極具價值的回收材料來源。全球老舊機隊加速退役，持續擴大原料供應，凸顯了這項材料流在回收的重要性。

2024年，包括熱解在內的熱回收技術市場規模達3,990萬美元。該方法佔據主導地位，因為它能夠可靠地提取高品質纖維，且不會損害其結構特性。其可擴展性、處理大批量複合材料的能力以及相對較低的營運成本，使其成為最具商業可行性的技術。系統的持續改進和能量回收方法的最佳化進一步提升了其經濟效益。雖然其他製程也能回收高純度纖維，但其高昂的成本限制了其廣泛應用，因此熱回收技術鞏固了其作為領先工業解決方案的地位。

受強勁的航太製造業活動和不斷擴大的回收能力推動，北美航空航太複合材料碳纖維回收市場在2024年預計將達到5,200萬美元。該地區受益於眾多原始設備製造商（OEM）、一級供應商和新興回收企業的集中，這些企業不斷提升了自身的生產能力。不斷擴大的商業設施和持續的研究項目增強了國內供應，而下游產業的需求則進一步推動了區域成長。

The Global Carbon Fiber Recycling from Aerospace Composites Market was valued at USD 142.6 million in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 12.1% to reach USD 446.9 million by 2034.

Rapid progress in recovery technologies is making recycled carbon fiber more cost-effective and higher in quality, encouraging its wider use in aerospace and related sectors. New methods that significantly reduce energy consumption while preserving mechanical strength are accelerating commercial adoption and improving process sustainability. Expanding recycling infrastructure and maturing industrial capabilities support the rising volume of composite waste generated from aircraft decommissioning. Global emphasis on circular manufacturing, stricter environmental targets, and stronger regulatory direction are also driving investments in advanced recycling systems. The increasing availability of end-of-life composite materials and the technical viability of converting them into high-value secondary fibers are creating favorable conditions for large-scale deployment. As recycling technologies evolve and supply chains integrate more efficiently, recycled carbon fiber is becoming an increasingly strategic material for aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications.

The end-of-life aircraft components generated USD 59.9 million in 2024. Retired aircraft contain substantial quantities of carbon-fiber-based structures such as fuselage elements, wing assemblies, and tail components, making them a valuable source for recovery. The accelerating retirement cycle of older fleets worldwide continues to expand feedstock supply, reinforcing the importance of this material stream in recycling operations.

Thermal recycling, including pyrolysis, reached USD 39.9 million in 2024. This method dominates because it reliably extracts high-quality fibers without undermining their structural characteristics. Its scalability, ability to process large composite volumes, and comparatively low operational costs position it as the most commercially feasible technique. Continuous system advancements and improved energy-recovery approaches further enhance its economic performance. While alternative processes can recover fibers with high purity, their elevated costs limit broad adoption, solidifying thermal recycling as the leading industrial solution.

North America Carbon Fiber Recycling from Aerospace Composites Market captured USD 52 million in 2024, owing to strong aerospace manufacturing activity and expanding recycling capacities. The region benefits from a strong concentration of OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers, and emerging recyclers, increasing their production capabilities.
