Pitch-Based Carbon Fiber Market 2022 Global Industry Key Strategies, Size, Growth, Share, Application, Segmentation
Market Highlights
The Pitch-Based Carbon
Fiber Market share is expected to be USD 104,337.2
thousand in US Dollars by December of 2027. The CAGR
during this period is expected to be 6.5%. The demand for carbon fibers
has increased in the aerospace & defense industry since the past two
decades owing to their superior performance characteristics over metals. Carbon
fiber exhibits high tensile strength, chemical resistance, stiffness, low
thermal expansion, and low weight properties. Its lightweight yet durable
property is particularly driving its demand in the aerospace & defense
industry.
Back
in the 1900s, the aerospace industry used aluminum as a primary construction
material for aircraft as it is a durable metal. However, aluminum is heavier as
compared to carbon fiber, which increases the overall weight of an aircraft.
Also, the weight of passengers and cargoes (luggage) also add to the overall
weight of aircraft. The high weight of aircraft increases the consumption of
fuel by the engine.

With
the limitations associated with aluminum, the aerospace industry switched from
aluminum toward carbon fiber as the primary material in the construction of
aircraft, as carbon fiber exhibits excellent properties such as lightweight and
durability. In 2003, Boeing Co (Chicago, US) was the first airline company to
use carbon fiber, as the primary construction material for 787 commercial
jetliner, which included parts such as fuselage (cockpit, cockpit windscreens,
doors, passenger windows, avionics, cockpit seating, and wiring), wings, tail,
and other structures. Furthermore, Airbus was the second airline company to
manufacture aircraft (A350 XWB and A380) using carbon fiber composites. The use
of carbon fiber composites has reduced fuel consumption and emissions, reduced
the need for maintenance, tooling, and assembly costs. It also delivers an enhanced
passenger experience by damping engine vibration. It is expected that over the
next 20 years, nearly 9,000 new wide-bodied aircraft are due for delivery,
which will be built using carbon fiber composites. Thus, the growing demand for
carbon fiber in the aerospace & defense industry is expected to boost the
growth of the global pitch-based carbon fiber market during the forecast
period.
Carbon
fibers are finding increasing applications across various end-use industries
due to their advantages such as stiffness, high tensile strength, lightweight,
chemical resistance, high-temperature tolerance, and low thermal expansion.
They are obtained by pyrolysis of an appropriate precursor fiber. Other than
pitch, carbon fibers are produced by pyrolysis of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) or
rayon precursors. Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) is the predominant precursor used for
producing carbon fiber due to its properties such as superior strength, high
stability, and higher carbon yield. About 90 % of the carbon fiber is produced
from PAN and the rest is made from rayon or petroleum pitch. The growth in the
adoption of PAN-based carbon fibers is further attributed to its lower cost as
compared to petroleum pitch or rayon precursors. PAN-based carbon fiber is
widely used in several industries such as automotive, aerospace & defense,
sporting goods, and construction. The demand has increased as these industries
are looking for solutions that save energy, make more durable products, and are
environmentally friendly. Thus, the availability of PAN-based carbon fibers at
low cost and relatively similar performance characteristics is expected to be
the major factor hampering the growth of the global pitch-based carbon fiber
market during the forecast period.
