These 3 major factors have caused the global carbon fiber market to increase exponentially

According to market research, by 2030, the global market based on polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based carbon fiber reinforced composite materials (CFRP) and carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite materials (CFRTP) is expected to grow to 3.
58 trillion yen (32.
06 billion US dollars)
.
The doubling of the global carbon fiber market is mainly caused by the following important factors: 01.
The rapid expansion of the demand market? Carbon fiber composite materials that were once only used in aerospace, military equipment and super sports cars are now available In addition to more application areas, smart machinery, high-end medical equipment, rail transit, precision electronics, and even mass-produced models have begun to gradually use carbon fiber composite materials
.
? Carbon fiber composite material (CFRP) has a small specific gravity and high strength.
Using it as an industrial component material can achieve the effects of lightness, safety, high efficiency and energy saving
.
Compared with other materials such as steel, carbon fiber composite materials are more expensive, but the long-term benefits they bring cannot be ignored
.
Lighter weight means less energy consumption, and stronger corrosion-resistant materials mean low maintenance costs.
In a longer operating cycle, above the base of scale, this seemingly insignificant benefit can accumulate enough Surprising
.
? Not only that, some of the special advantages of carbon fiber composite materials can also meet the specific needs of some new products.
For example, the telescopic manipulator bushing of the inspection robot equipped by the State Grid, in addition to the ultra-light mass, has won a large energy consumption.
The range is reduced, and the working time of the machine is prolonged.
The good creep properties of carbon fiber composite materials can also adapt to the working conditions of large temperature changes and harsh weather
.
Therefore, as the advantages of carbon fiber are widely recognized, more and more industries have begun to try to use this advanced composite material as an effective "weapon" for their own quality upgrading, and the demand market for carbon fiber continues to expand
.
02.
Steady decline in application costs? It is a basic strategic emerging industry of the country.
The development of the domestic carbon fiber industry is supported by a number of favorable policies from the government.
With T300, T700 and other general-purpose carbon fibers breaking the technological monopoly of international giants , And gradually realized the nationalization of carbon fiber raw material manufacturing technology, and the cost of carbon fiber raw materials is no longer high
.
? Not only the cost of raw materials, but also the forming and production of carbon fiber parts are increasingly rationalized with the maturity of application technology
.
However, thermosetting carbon fiber composites are the most widely used at present.
The application technology of thermoplastic carbon fiber composites tends to be hysteresis.
The main application forms are chopped or powdered carbon fiber reinforcement.
The thermoplastic matrix involved is also mainly low-end resins such as PP.
, And did not fully demonstrate the application advantages of continuous carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites
.
? To this end, some domestic carbon fiber parts manufacturers are also actively engaged in technological breakthroughs
.
After three years, a composite material enterprise in China has successfully realized the mass production of continuous carbon fiber reinforced PPS, PA6 and other series of high-performance thermoplastic prepreg tapes.
The original process has been optimized through a self-designed production line.
The carbon fiber content is maintained at 40%-60%, and the width is between 300-500mm
.
The price of its prepreg tape products only accounts for two-thirds of similar foreign products
.
03.
International equipment competition has become a catalyst? "The Great Powers of the World" said: "The competition between countries has always been the competition of the real economy, and the powerful equipment manufacturing industry is the foundation of the real economy
.
" The competition of machine manufacturing is abstracted.
It is the game between countries.
Carbon fiber composite materials that can reduce weight and increase efficiency for high-end equipment will also have an impact on a country’s industrial manufacturing level and overall strength to a certain extent, and its status has been given extraordinary.
Strategic significance
.
Therefore, developed countries such as the United States and Japan, which have mastered core technologies, have been carrying out technical blockades of such products in China
.
? For example, China's high-speed rail debuts internationally, which is regarded as a typical sign of "Made in China" officially going global.
The most distinctive impression in the eyes of foreigners of the huge engineering system of China's high-speed rail is that it runs fast and has a high safety factor
.
Among them, there is also a contribution of carbon fiber application technology.
For example, a composite material company provided a carbon fiber high-speed rail driver's bridge panel and a variety of cabin wall components for a certain type of high-speed rail, which are lightweight, high-strength, and long-life materials.
Features make China's high-speed rail more and more attractive to the world
.
Under the general background, the high-end and advanced equipment manufacturing industry bears tremendous pressure, and high-performance advanced composite materials such as carbon fiber composite materials are like a pair of light "wings" that can provide acceleration "power" in disguised form.
It is also one of the important reasons why carbon fiber continues to "white-hot" in the world
