(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/dgz63z/growth) has
announced the addition of the "Growth Opportunities in the Global
Carbon Fiber Market 2014-2019" report to their offering.
The global carbon fiber market is expected to reach $3.3 billion
by 2019 from $1.8 billion in 2013.
Both industrial and aerospace markets are expected to witness
annual double-digit growth. The sporting goods market is likely to
witness the lowest growth over 2014-2018 in terms of dollar
shipment.
This research indicates that the future growth of global carbon
fiber industry will likely be driven by emerging applications such
as wind blades; nuclear centrifuge rotor tubes; laptop cases;
mobile phones; and risers, tethers and umbilical in the oil and gas
industry. In addition, civil and bridge applications; CNG tanks,
fuel cells, and automotive applications in high-end cars; defense
aircraft; commercial aerospace applications such as B787, A380,
B747-8, A350; and next-generation narrow body aircraft are leading
applications for carbon fiber use.
The industrial market is expected to see the highest growth
among the other major sectors such as aerospace and sporting goods.
The industrial market is forecast to grow at the highest rate
annually over the next five years in terms of million dollars in
shipments. More new carbon fiber suppliers from India, China,
Russia, the Middle East, and other developing regions are likely to
emerge. Although there is likely be a rise in pricing of final
products annually over the next five years, this will be
compensated because of high manufacturing efficiency. Additionally,
competition from offshore suppliers, such as China and India, is
expected to drive down the cost of end products.
The report, which provides trend scenarios for 2008-2013 and
forecast statistics during 2014-2019, details industry drivers and
challenges, compares properties and prices, and highlights major
carbon fiber suppliers. The report also describes various carbon
fiber properties, manufacturing processes, and more.
