North America Carbon Fiber Market Outlook 2025:

The North America carbon fiber market was valued at US$ 1,001 million in 2017 and is projected to reach US$ 2,331 million by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 11.0% from 2018 to 2025.

Carbon fiber is composed of carbon atoms that form a crystal-like structure when they bond, resulting in a long chain. It is lightweight, modulus, fire retardant, high tensile strength, temperature tolerant, thermal and electrical conductor material. It has end-users across aerospace and defense, civil engineering, pressure vessels, sports, wind turbines, and many other industries.

The North America carbon fiber market is driven by increased penetration of carbon fiber components in the automotive industry. The automotive industry witnessed a shift from conventional materials to carbon fiber material due to its high strength and flexibility. Furthermore, government rules and regulations on reducing greenhouse gas emissions also benefit the carbon fiber market. Moreover, the increased demand in aerospace and defense for high-performance carbon fiber also complements the carbon fiber market.

Carbon fiber found its usage in wind turbines due to its high tensile strength and flexibility, creating a higher opportunity for the industry. Moreover, several end-users of carbon fiber in the medical industry due to radiolucent properties and high modulus of elasticity also provide opportunities for the industry. However, the production of carbon fiber takes a longer time in production resulting in lower availability which acts as restrain. In addition, the high price of carbon fiber also acts as a restrain for the North America carbon fiber market.

The North America carbon fiber market is divided into segments based on raw material, type, form, and end-user. Based on raw material, the classification is done into PAN-based carbon fiber, pitch-based & rayon-based carbon fiber. Based on type, the segment is divided into continuous, long, and short. Form segment is further divided into composite and non-composite. Based on end-user, the segment division is done into aerospace & defense, sports/leisure, wind turbines, moldings & compounds, automotive, pressure vehicles, civil engineering, marine, pultrusion misc., misc. consumer, sailing/yacht building, and others. By country, the North America carbon fiber market analysis is done across countries U.S., Canada, and Mexico.

The major key players operating in the North America Carbon Fiber industry include Hexcel Corporation, Solvay, Plasan Carbon Composites, TORAY INDUSTRIES, INC., and Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, 3M, Nippon Graphite Fiber Co., Ltd., DowAksa, Formosa Plastics Corporation, U.S.A. and Advanced Composites Inc. The North American companies are expanding their business in emerging markets to increase their regional footprint. The companies are adopting various strategies like mergers, collaboration, acquisition, and agreements for business expansion and technological advancements.

The degree of industry attractiveness in the North America carbon fiber market is analyzed based on impact of five major forces on the market. Porter’s five forces analysis includes the impact of suppliers, industry rivals, new entrants, substitute products, and buyers on the market growth. The suppliers for Carbon Fiber include various domestic and international producers of Pan-based, pitch-based and rayon-based carbon fiber. Porter’s five forces model analyzes the macro- and microbusiness factors of the North American market. The consumers in the market are from aerospace & defense, automotive, pressure vehicles and others.

Based on country, U.S. accounts for major share in the North America carbon fiber market and is attributed to be fastest growing followed by Canada and Mexico. Factors such as increased penetration of carbon fiber and trend to reduce greenhouse gas emissions contribute majorly in growth of carbon fiber market. Based on raw material, the PAN-based carbon fiber segment dominated the market in 2017, owing to high resistance to most chemicals and solvents. In addition, characteristics such as rigidity, hardness and compatibility with polar substances make it ideal choice for raw materials.

Based on type, continuous carbon fiber segment dominates the market followed by long carbon fiber and then short carbon fiber. Continuous carbon fiber segment is expected to grow faster with major market share due to its high tensile strength and low density. Based on form, the composite carbon fiber has large share due to End-Users in automobiles for weight reduction, increasing fuel efficiency. The non-composite segment is expected to grow at lower rate. Based on end-user, the wind turbines, automotive, sailing/yacht building and Marine segments are expected to grow with the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The increase in End-User of carbon fiber in various end-user market boost the North America carbon fiber market.
