Description
Global Recycled Carbon Fiber Market Research Report—Forecast till 2027
Market Overview
The Global Recycled Carbon Fiber Market is anticipated to witness a substantial CAGR of 12.75% to reach USD 276,021.5 Thousand during the review period. Recycled carbon fiber is sourced from squandering carbon fiber created because of the handling of thermoset carbon fiber-supported composites and different dry fiber and prepreg scrap sources. Around 30% of carbon fiber delivered winds up as waste during the creation of carbon fiber-based finished results. Recycled carbon strands display comparable properties as virgin carbon fiber, including high rigidity, protection from synthetic substances, low warm extension, and lightweight.
The global recycled carbon fiber market is expected to exhibit healthy market growth owing to the growing demand for lightweight materials in the automotive and aerospace and defense industries. The recycled fibers are applicable in battery boxes, pressure vessels, and lift gate systems due to their various advantages such as cost-effectiveness, energy efficiency, lightweight, and environmental sustainability. The rising demand for lightweight and environment-friendly materials owing to the increasingly strict environmental regulations by the regulatory agencies such as the European Union (EU) and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to reduce carbon emissions is fueling the demand for recycled carbon fibers. Moreover, rising emission standards in India and China have also resulted in high demand for lightweight automobile materials.
Market Segmentation
Global Recycled Carbon Fiber Market has been classified based on Type, End-Use Industry, and Region.
In terms of type segment, the global recycled carbon fiber market has been segmented into non-woven mats, milled carbon fiber, and chopped carbon fiber. The non-woven mats segment accounted for a value of USD 53,473.3 thousand in 2019 due to the increasing demand for economic alternatives to virgin carbon fiber for vehicle light-weighting by OEMs in the transportation sector.
Based on the end-use industry, the recycled carbon fiber market has been segmented into electronics, oil & gas, aerospace, sporting goods, wind energy, and others. The automotive segment is anticipated to lead the market with the highest CAGR of 13.95% owing to the highest market value of USD 52,596.7 thousand in 2019.
