Carbon Fiber Resin Market by Resin Type (Thermoset, Thermoplastic), by Form (Prepreg, Non-Prepreg), by Application, and by Region - Global Forecast to 2021
[129 Pages Report] The carbon fiber resin market is estimated to grow from USD 292.7 Million in 2016 to USD 532.7 Million by 2021, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.7% from 2016 to 2021. The report aims at estimating the market size and future growth potential of the carbon fiber resin market across different segments such as application, resin type, form, and region. The base year considered for the study is 2015 and the market size is forecast from 2016 to 2021. Growing demand for lightweight and strong composite materials from end-use industries such as aerospace & defense and automotive is increasing the demand for carbon fiber resin. Carbon fiber resins offer properties such as strength and stiffness, corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, high viscosity, and few others resulting in greater demand for carbon fiber resin. With the introduction of CAFΙ regulation in North America and European region, the usage of composite parts manufactured using carbon fiber resin is expected to substantially increase the growth of the market in the automotive application.
The research methodology used to estimate and forecast the carbon fiber resin market begins with capturing data of the key company revenues and raw material costs through secondary research. The product offerings are also taken into consideration to determine the market segmentation. The bottom-up approach was employed to arrive at the overall market size of carbon fiber resins from the revenue of the key players in the market. After arriving at the overall market size, the total market was split into several segments and subsegments, which are then verified through primary research by conducting extensive interviews with key people such as CEOs, VPs, directors, and executives. This data triangulation and market breakdown procedures were employed to complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics for all segments and subsegments.

MarketsandMarkets projects the global carbon fiber resin market to grow from USD 292.7 Million in 2016 to USD 532.7 Million by 2021, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.7% during the same period. The global carbon fiber resin market witnessed a strong growth in the past few years considering the high demand for lightweight and superior mechanical properties materials, in the U.S., Germany, and developing countries such as the Middle East, Brazil, and China. The growing aerospace and automotive industries in these countries are driving the carbon fiber resin market.
The major applications of carbon fiber resins are aerospace & defense, wind energy, and automotive among others. Other applications include healthcare & medical and oil & gas. Automotive is estimated to be the fastest-growing application for carbon fiber resin during the forecast period. Carbon fiber resin offers properties such as strength and stiffness, lightweight, corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, high viscosity, and few others resulting in greater demand in automotive and aerospace & defense applications.
The major resins used for the manufacturing of carbon fiber resin materials are thermoplastic resin and thermoset resin. Thermoset and thermoplastic resins are used as matrix to produce these composites. Thermoset resin accounts for a larger market share in comparison to thermoplastic owing to their high strength and resistance to high temperature. Therefore, they have larger application in the automotive and aerospace & defense industries that require more heat and temperature-resistant materials. Thermoset includes epoxy, polyester, and vinyl ester resin. Thermoplastics include resins, such as polyamide and polypropylene.
Currently, North America is the largest consumer of carbon fiber resin. The U.S., Germany, and China are the major markets for carbon fiber resins. The North American region is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Brazil is expected to drive the carbon fiber resin market in the RoW region. The growth of aerospace & defense industry focus toward harnessing wind energy, and demand of greener automotive has led to increase in demand for carbon fiber resins.
The manufacturing of composites consists of several steps that result in high end-product price. The machinery and tools required for its production are also capital-intensive, leading to escalated cost. This high cost is a restraint for the OEMs in the supply chain to use composites, limiting the growth of carbon fiber resin. Huntsman Corporation (U.S.) and Alpha Owens-Corning (U.S.) are the few leading players in the carbon fiber resin market. Huntsman provides products and services to various industries to grow its business. It creates and maintains its market value by making new products with unique features that enable market differentiation. The company focuses on its engineering processes for more efficient manufacturing methods and involves in strategic investment to encourage the development of its core strengths in the company. High cost of carbon fiber composite is one of the major restraints for the growth of this market.
