概述
2023年,全球CF和CFRP(碳纤维和碳纤维增强塑胶)市场达到331亿美元,预计2031年将达到849亿美元,2024-2031年预测期间复合年增长率为12.5%。
消费性电子产业有可能为全球市场开闢一条主要成长途径。 2023 年 12 月,中国消费电子巨头联想宣布,将使用东丽工业有限公司开发的再生碳纤维来製造其广受欢迎的 ThinkPad 系列笔记型电脑的机身。
儘管对碳纤维的需求迅速增加,但整体回收能力并没有太大成长。随着复合材料在工程应用中变得越来越普遍,迫切需要加强回收和再生复合材料的使用。只要回收能力仍然较低,就会阻碍全球市场的成长。
动力学
航太应用中越来越多地采用碳纤维
现代商用客机的机身结构已用铝合金取代碳纤维复合材料。它有助于减轻重量并提高燃油效率。新型空中巴士 A350 和波音 787 就是这一趋势最突出的例子。军用飞机也使用复合材料,因为它提高了飞机的隐身特性。美国的洛克希德·马丁公司的F-35、韩国的KF-21 Boramae和俄罗斯的苏霍伊Su-57都是采用复合材料的第五代隐形战斗机。
航太运载火箭也利用碳纤维复合材料来製造酬载整流罩和燃料箱。 SpaceX 的猎鹰 9 号运载火箭的推进剂箱和整流罩大量使用碳纤维复合材料。随着私人航太公司成为航太发射产业中越来越重要的参与者,未来几年航空航太领域对碳纤维复合材料的需求将持续成长。
全球风能产量的成长
国际能源总署(IEA)资料显示,2023年全球风能产量较上年成长14%,达906吉瓦。全球风能理事会(GWEC)进一步估计,2023年至2028年的未来五年内将新增近680吉瓦的新增产能。
风力涡轮机几乎全部由碳纤维复合材料製造,以减轻整体重量并使运输和安装相对容易。此外,复合材料的使用确保不存在腐蚀,并且风力涡轮机可以在整个季节保持运作。风能生产的扩大将在预测期内继续产生大量需求。
缺乏统一的监管标准
由于碳纤维及其复合材料是相对较新的材料,全球监管指南和标准尚未随着时代的变化而发展。与钢合金、铝和钛等更主流的材料不同,目前对于材料性能和标准还没有统一的国际指南。因此,每个製造商都制定了自己的标准。
缺乏统一标准会阻碍互通性,从而阻碍全球市场的成长,因为每个最终用户都需要重新验证规范以确保在范围内。它不仅更耗时,而且阻碍了产业使用碳纤维复合材料,而是更喜欢金属合金等标准化材料的安全性。
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.
