has announced the addition of the
"Carbon Fibers & Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics (CFRP) - A
Global Market Overview" report to their offering.
Global Carbon Fibers Market to touch 141k MTs by 2020 while
Composites to reach 210k MTs
Carbon fibers have gained an immense importance in a range of
applications in industrial sectors. According to the report, the
global market for Carbon Fibers and Carbon Fiber Composites is
mainly driven by the wind energy, aerospace & Defense and
Sports & Leisure sectors which are estimated to consume 11.3k
MTs, 9.4k MTs and 8.3k MTs by the year 2013.
Global volume demand for CFRP, estimated at around 67 thousand
metric tons in 2012, is expected to maintain a 2012-2020 CAGR of
15.3% to reach 210 thousand metric tons by 2020. In terms of value,
demand for CFRP, estimated at US$10.25 billion in 2012 is expected
to record a CAGR of 11.9% over 2012-2020 in reaching US$25.2
billion by 2020.
In tandem with the CFRP market, global demand for carbon fibers in terms of volume, estimated at 45 thousand metric tons in 2012 and forecast to be 51.7 thousand metric tons in 2013, is further projected to reach 141 thousand metric tons by 2020, registering a 2012-2020 CAGR of 15.4%. In terms of value, consumption of carbon fibers globally is estimated to stand at US$2.03 billion in 2012 and projected to reach around US$5 billion by 2020.
