Carbon Fiber Tape Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The increasing use of carbon fiber tape in aerospace is notably driving the carbon fiber tape market growth, although factors such as the high cost of carbon fiber may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the carbon fiber tape industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Carbon Fiber Tape Market Driver
The increasing use of carbon fiber tape in aerospace is one of the key drivers supporting the carbon fiber tape market growth. Major aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing and Airbus use carbon fiber tape for manufacturing aircraft components, which reduces aircraft weight. The excellent strength-to-weight ratio of carbon fiber reinforced polymers makes it suitable for aerospace applications, as aircraft engineers concentrate on producing efficient and light aircraft structures. Furthermore, automated fiber placement (AFP) of carbon fiber tape followed by liquid resin infusion or resin transfer molding (RTM) is used to improve cost, efficiency, and sustainability in the next generation of aircraft. These factors will increase the use of carbon fiber tape for aircraft manufacturing, which will have a positive impact on the market growth during the forecast period.
Key Carbon Fiber Tape Market Trend
Development in carbon fiber tape is one of the key carbon fiber tape market trends that is positively impacting the market growth. With the increasing penetration of carbon fiber tape in major end-use applications, including aerospace, wind energy, and automotive industry, major key manufacturers in the global carbon fiber tape are introducing new products with specific functionalities. For instance, in January 2022, Strohm and Evonik Industries AG got certification from DNV attesting that the unidirectional Carbon Fibre PA12 tape used for Strohm's Thermoplastic Composite Pipe (TCP) is suitable to use for dynamic sweet and sour hydrocarbons, water, and gas injection applications. The companies, in partnership with the Netherlands Aerospace Centre (NLR), helped in the development, qualification, and supply of PA12 for TCP applications following an investment and testing program over the past five years. Such instances are driving the carbon fiber tape market growth.
Key Carbon Fiber Tape Market Challenge
The high cost of carbon fiber is one of the factors hindering the carbon fiber tape market growth. Primarily, R&D and manufacturing costs of carbon fiber tape are higher than those of their substitutes. As the automotive industry is price sensitive, the high costs of carbon fiber tape limit its use in manufacturing lightweight, fuel-efficient vehicles. Though carbon fiber tape is used in the automotive industry in passenger vehicles, the ever-rising cost has restricted its use in luxury cars. Moreover, the industry is facing challenges in terms of automation, cost-cutting, and the development of a low-cost manufacturing process suitable for mass production. Thus, with the increasing demand for carbon fiber tape in aerospace, automotive, and pressure vessel applications, the large-scale production of cost-effective carbon fiber tape can be a challenge to the global carbon fiber tape market. This, in turn, will hinder the carbon fiber tape market growth during the forecast period.
This carbon fiber tape market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2022-2026.
