概述
全球碳纤维带市场2023年达27亿美元,预计2031年将达69亿美元,2024-2031年预测期间复合年增长率为12.5%。
目前的研究重点是提高碳纤维带的可回收性。这不仅会减少浪费,还会降低整体价格。 2023 年 11 月,德国亚琛弗劳恩霍夫生产技术研究所的研究人员宣布开发出一种回收碳纤维带的新工艺,同时保留其近 90% 的原始机械强度。
以有意义的方式降低生产成本仍然是市场面临的主要挑战。虽然科学家正在研究新的製造技术,但距离商业化还需要几十年的时间。如果成本降低,那么碳纤维带在工程应用的使用量将会大幅增加。
动力学
飞机结构越来越多地采用复合材料
由于碳纤维具有高强度重量比和抗疲劳性,飞机製造商正在采用碳纤维进行飞机结构工程。新型空中巴士A350飞机的机身和机翼结构均采用碳纤维复合材料製成。同样,波音 737 MAX 和即将推出的 777X 的机翼也由复合材料製成。同样,俄罗斯新型客机伊尔库特 MC-21 机身近 80% 的面积也采用了复合材料。
波音和空中巴士目前都在提高飞机生产率,以应对航空公司的大笔订单。印度航空和靛蓝航空这两家印度航空公司已订购了 970 架飞机,两家航空公司都希望扩大在印度航空市场的业务。
越来越多使用海上无人舰艇在战争中
在正在进行的乌克兰-俄罗斯战争中,无人水面舰艇的使用确实脱颖而出。为了对抗俄罗斯黑海舰队的飞弹袭击,乌克兰部署了装载爆炸物的海军无人舰艇来攻击俄罗斯护卫舰和登陆舰。 2024年3月,乌克兰海军无人机在克里米亚费奥多西亚附近追击并袭击了谢尔盖·科托夫号飞弹舰。
为了对抗乌克兰,俄罗斯也开始部署自己的海军无人机。 2023 年 11 月,国家国防公司开始对 GRK-700 Vizir 无人机进行广泛测试。随着黑海地区衝突进一步激化,只会加剧对无人舰艇发动新攻击行动的需求。
加工製造成本高
目前全球碳纤维带的产能严重不足以满足未来的预期需求。鑑于复杂的製造过程,现有生产商根本无法扩大生产规模来满足需求成长。这些因素导致碳纤维带的成本居高不下,其工程应用仅限于少数利基。
现在科学家们正致力于降低碳纤维带的生产成本。美国橡树岭国家实验室最近发明了一种新的生产方法,可减少60%的能源消耗,并将整体生产成本降低一半。然而,该技术距离完全成熟还需要数年时间。
Overview
Global Carbon Fiber Tapes Market reached US$ 2.7 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 6.9 billion by 2031, growing with a CAGR of 12.5% during the forecast period 2024-2031.
Research is now focused on improving the recyclability of carbon fiber tapes. It will not only reduce wastage, but also bring down overall prices. In November 2023, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology in Aachen, Germany, announced the development of a new process for recycling carbon fiber tapes whilst retaining nearly 90% of their original mechanical strength.
Reducing production costs in a meaningful way continues to remain a key challenge for the market. While scientists are researching new manufacturing techniques, they are still decades away from any sort of commercialization. If costs go lower, then the usage of carbon fiber tapes in engineering applications will increase drastically.
Dynamics
Increasing Adoption Of Composites in Aircraft Structures
Aircraft producers are adopting carbon fiber for the engineering of aircraft structures due to its high strength-to-weight ratio and fatigue resistance. The fuselage and wing structure of the new Airbus A350 aircraft is made of carbon fiber composites. Similarly, the wings of the Boeing 737 MAX and the upcoming 777X are also made of composites. Similarly, the Irkut MC-21, a new Russian passenger jet, also uses composites for nearly 80% of its aircraft body area.
Both Boeing and Airbus are currently increasing their aircraft production rates in response to large-sized orders from airlines. Air India and Indigo, two Indian carriers, have placed a combined order of 970 aircraft as both airlines look to scale up their operations in the Indian aviation market.
Increasing Usage of Marine Unmanned Vessels in Warfare
The usage of unmanned surface vessels has really come to the fore during the ongoing Ukraine-Russia war. To counter missile strikes from Russia's Black Sea fleet, Ukraine has fielded explosive-laden naval unmanned vessels to strike Russian corvettes and landing ships. In March 2024, Ukrainian naval drones chased down and attacked the missile ship Sergei Kotov near Feodosiya in Crimea.
To counter Ukraine, Russia has also began fielding its own naval drones. In November 2023, state defence companies began extensive testing of the GRK-700 Vizir drone. As the conflict further intensifies in the black sea region, it will only escalate the demand for unmanned vessels to launch new offensive operations.
High Cost of Processing and Manufacturing
The current global production capacity of carbon fiber tapes is woefully insufficient to meet the future projected demand. Given the complex manufacturing process, existing producers simply cannot scale production to meet demand growth. Such factors have ensured that the cost of carbon fiber tapes remains high and its engineering applications are limited to a few niche areas.
Now scientists are working on reducing production costs for carbon fiber tapes. The Oak Ridge National Laboratory in U.S. has recently invented a new production method which uses 60% less energy and can cut overall production costs by half. However, the technology is still years away from full maturation.
The global carbon fiber tapes market is segmented based on resin, form, manufacturing process, application, end-user and region.
The Aerospace & Defense Industry Will Continue to Account for the Maximum Demand
The fabrication and curing process for carbon fiber has reached a good level of maturation. It has become the default choice of material for aerospace component manufacturing. As such, with emerging markets like India witnessing rapid growth in international air travel, the demand for carbon fiber tapes for aircraft production is only expected to increase.
Carbon fiber tapes are also being used in defense applications, especially for drone making. With drones forming a critical part of modern combined arms operations, the demand from the aerospace industry will only increase in the future.
North America Will Have the Largest Market Share
The demand in North America is mainly driven by the growth in civilian and military aircraft production. U.S-based Boeing is one of the two major aircraft producers globally and although it is currently experiencing quality control and production issues, it is expected to bring the new 777X long range airliner and an improved version of its 737 MAX to the market over the short term.
The U.S. air force is also currently finalizing the requirements for a new supersonic fighter jet that is expected to enter service sometime in the 2040s. The new jet is expected to make extensive usage of carbon fiber composite to enhance its performance and stealth characteristics. Given the advanced nature of its aerospace and defense industry, North America will continue to have a major share in the global market.
The pandemic created a problem for carbon fiber tape producers in fulfilling existing contracts. With the pandemic getting worse, demand from the aerospace industry virtually ground to a halt, thus affecting many specialist suppliers. Some companies also tried to utilize the tapes for manufacturing composite parts for medical equipment.
As soon as the restrictions were lifted, demand rose sharply and manufacturers once again had difficulty in fulfilling orders. Supply chain constraints prevented companies from rapidly expanding their production capacity. Overall, the global market has emerged more resilient from the pandemic.
Ukraine began using carbon fiber tapes for the industrial-level manufacturing of loitering munitions and naval drones. Production gathered pace in 2023, especially as Russia stepped up its offensive operations in southeast parts of the country. Due to the prevailing security situation, supplies of the tapes had to be routed through western countries like Poland.
Western sanctions have made it difficult for Russian defense companies to undertake production of drones and other equipment required for the war effort. Therefore, the government has resorted to the grey market for imports as well as increasing local production of carbon fiber tapes. New factories are currently being built to further expand drone production.
By Manufacturing Process
The major global players in the market include Evonik Industries AG, Solvay SA, Toray Industries, Inc., SABIC, Hexcel Corporation, Teijin Limited, SGL Carbon, Mitsubishi Chemical Group Corporation, Avient Corporation and Celanese Corporation.
The global carbon fiber tapes market report would provide approximately 70 tables, 66 figures and 195 Pages.
