2010-2018 global carbon fiber market forecast 3

3.World carbon fiber demand forecast

Although the current world economic development is in danger, but the demand for carbon fiber is still warming, optimistic about the long-term trends. In addition to the traditional field of aerospace, automotive, wind turbine blades and pressure vessel carbon fiber Restoration is emerging. According to the Composite Market Reports editor Chris Rand (Chris Red) and the AJR consulting firm (AJR Consultant LLC) president Tony Roberts (Tony Roberts) forecast, the 2010 world demand for carbon fiber at 4 million tons to 5 years demand in 2014 compared to 2009 compared to grow exponentially, reaching more than 70,000 tons, by 2018 demand will reach 11 million tons or more. The rapid growth in demand for carbon fiber in industrial applications is expected to 2018, accounting from the existing 55% to 66%.

In addition, Mitsubishi Rayon Company Survey from 2006 to 2015 carbon fiber in the three major areas of demand forecasts that the demand will be strong growth in year-on-year growth rate of nearly 20% since 2012.

With the expanding field of application of carbon fiber, carbon fiber market demand the increase of carbon fiber and composite materials industry has shown a good momentum of development. According to the relevant department predicted that the world demand for carbon fiber to grow at an annual rate of about 13% of the rapid growth in global demand for carbon fiber in 2010 will reach 50,000 tons in 2012 will reach 60,000 tons in 2018 to reach 100,000 t.
