Milled Carbon Fiber Market

The study involves two major activities in estimating the current market size for the milled carbon fiber market. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the market, peer market, and parent market. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size. After that, market breakdown and data triangulation were used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments.

Secondary Research

Secondary sources referred to for this research study include financial statements of companies offering milled carbon fiber and information from various trade, business, and professional associations. Secondary research has been used to obtain critical information about the industry’s value chain, the total pool of key players, market classification, and segmentation according to industry trends to the bottom-most level and regional markets. The secondary data was collected and analyzed to arrive at the overall size of the milled carbon fiber market, which was validated by primary respondents.

Primary Research

Extensive primary research was conducted after obtaining information regarding the milled carbon fiber  market scenario through secondary research. Several primary interviews were conducted with market experts from both the demand and supply sides across major countries of North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America. Primary data was collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephonic interviews. The primary sources from the supply side included various industry experts, such as Chief X Officers (CXOs), Vice Presidents (VPs), Directors from business development, marketing, product development/innovation teams, and related key executives from milled carbon fiber industry vendors; system integrators; component providers; distributors; and key opinion leaders. Primary interviews were conducted to gather insights such as market statistics, data on revenue collected from the products and services, market breakdowns, market size estimations, market forecasting, and data triangulation. Primary research also helped in understanding the various trends related to fiber type, application, end-use industry and region. Stakeholders from the demand side, such as CIOs, CTOs, CSOs, and installation teams of the customer/end users who are using milled carbon fiber  were interviewed to understand the buyer’s perspective on the suppliers, products, component providers, and their current usage of milled carbon fiber  products and future outlook of their business which will affect the overall market.

Market Definition

Milled carbon fibers are made up of carbon fiber strands, virgin or recycled, that have been milled into very short, powdery fibers. Despite their short and variable size, individual fibers have a high aspect ratio, which provides superior mechanical and electrical properties to polymer compounds. Milled fibers provide a better level of reinforcement to thermoplastics and thermosetting resins, higher heat/abrasion resistance, and higher electric conductivity than unreinforced polymers.

Milled carbon fiber consists of carbon fiber filaments that are shorter than chopped carbon fiber, typically 1 mm or less in length. Milled carbon fibers are made by pulverizing polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and mesophase pitch carbon fibers using various methods, including mechanical grinding, melt blowing, and ball milling. They are short, lightweight, and strong fibers that are used to reinforce composites. These fibers are used in a wide range of industries, including electronics, sporting goods, and automotive. They can be added to casting resins, tooling resins, thermoplastics, paints, adhesives, and coatings to increase tensile strength, dimensional stability, and electrical conductivity.
