Description

Carbon fiber is defined as a long thin strand of material which is made up of carbon atoms and has a diameter of about 0.005mm to 0.010mm. Carbon fiber materials are characterized by superior properties such as high stiffness and tensile strength coupled with light weight. The strength profile of carbon fiber is much like that of steel and its weight is close to that of plastic. The strength-to-weight ratio and stiffness-to-weight ratio of carbon fiber is much higher as compared to steel and plastic. The global carbon fiber market in terms of revenue is set to grow by US$ 3 billion during 2021-2027, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8% during the forecast period, according to data and analytics company StrategyHelix. Escalating demands for high-performance carbon fiber in aerospace & defense, increase in penetration of carbon fiber components in automotive industry, growing usage of carbon fiber in wind energy industry are expected to boost the market growth in the coming years.
