Pandemic disrupted the entire world and affected many industries.
Get detailed COVID-19 impact analysis on the Automotive Carbon Fiber Market
Request Now !The global market for automotive carbon fiber has reported a considerable upswing in its size and valuation, thanks to the continual expansion in the automotive industry across the world. With the rising demand for automobiles, the global market is likely to remain registering a high rise over the next few years. The demand for PAN-type carbon fibers is significantly high as these carbon fibers possess a high tensile strength and an excellent elastic modulus. In terms of elastic modulus, ultra-high elastic modulus-based carbon fibers are witnessing a relatively higher demand than other products as they possess almost ten times more elastic modulus than steel. Companies are trying to invent new parts made of carbon fiber that can reduce the total weight of the vehicle to a great extent. The application of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) has been widely adopted for the production of automotive bodies, particularly in hyper-car manufacturers such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Porsche. Europe is the largest market for carbon fiber manufacturers owing to the fact that it is home to sports, super and hyper car manufacturers like Porsche, Mercedes Benz, Audi, BMW, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and others.
COVID-19 Impact analysis
The COVID-19 outbreak severely impacted the automotive sector on a global level, which, in turn, led to considerable drop in automotive sales and insufficiency of raw material. Covid-19 had a severe impact on the market owing to the complete standstill of the world transport, imports and exports. Due to the social distancing norms and lockdown restrictions worldwide, the research and production that goes into the carbon fiber market was hindered. The pandemic had a negative impact on the carbon fiber market size in the year 2020, a major deviation was noticed in the growth of carbon fiber manufacturers due to coronavirus. Carbon fiber is an evolving sector, which is hampered due to the ongoing pandemic, owing to which all type of production and installation activities across affected countries had been shut down & all operations were disrupted.
Top Impacting Factors
The carbon fiber market trends are as follows:
Rise in passenger vehicle sales
Passenger vehicles account for largest share of the total vehicle production. In addition, increase in R&D investments by original equipment manufacturers and tier 1 companies to improve quality and efficiency of driving passenger vehicles promote development of the market. Moreover, increase in disposable income of individuals, especially in developing countries such as China, India, and the Middle East is expected to boost growth of the passenger car market. Carbon fibers are extensively utilized in the production of interior components of automobiles. Since, the passenger vehicle is currently witnessing a massive rise the demand for automotive carbon fibers is likely to augment substantially in the years to come.
Increasing adoption of carbon fiber in automobiles
Although automobiles have been around for more than a century, the material they are made of has mostly remained the same. It is only in the past few decades that advanced materials ranging from aluminum and magnesium alloys to carbon fiber have made their way into mass-produced cars. Advanced materials such as carbon fiber are essential for boosting the fuel economy of modern cars all the while maintaining performance and safety. For instance, BMW’s use of carbon fiber in its i3 model has considerably reduced the car’s weight, Audi is also using carbon fiber to produce the rear wall of the space frame for its A8 sedan. Since it takes lesser energy to accelerate a lighter object than a heavier one, lightweight materials offer great potential for increasing vehicle efficiency and fuel economy. Thus, driving the growth of the market.
