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.
