Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Carbon Fiber Global Market to 2020 - Despite Price Concerns, Industrial Applications, Aerospace and Consumer Goods Drive Future Demand" report to their offering.
Wind Energy Blowing Life into Global Carbon Fiber Industry
After years of steady but unimpressive growth, the global carbon fiber industry is finally set for a boom in revenue, thanks to burgeoning demand from the wind energy market, says the latest report from business intelligence company GBI Research.
According to the firm's latest release*, global carbon fiber demand will hit 153,700 tons in 2020, climbing from 52,500 tons in 2012 - an massive increase of 193% in just eight years.
GBI Research说，风能 - 迅速扩展的可再生能源市场的重要部分 - 将是碳纤维行业的主要驱动力。目前，由玻璃纤维增强聚合物（GFRP）构建的风力涡轮刀片主导了行业景观，但由于其刚性更高，重量降低和成本降低，生产商正在转向碳纤维替代品。
Considering this shift in manufacturing materials, combined with the increasing deployment of wind farms across the world, GBI Research forecasts carbon fiber demand for the wind energy industry to jump from 12,270 tons in 2011 to 67,400 tons in 2020, making it the single largest carbon fiber end user segment by some margin.
Demand from the aerospace industry is also expected demonstrate significant growth in the near future, although from a lower base figure. Thanks to the increased use of carbon fiber composites in aircraft such as the Airbus A380 and Boeing 787 Dreamliner, GBI Research anticipates aerospace industry demand for the material to climb at a Compound Annual Growth Rate of 11.8% from 7,200 tons in 2012 to 19,700 tons in 2020.
该报告为读者提供了影响世界主要地区全球碳纤维需求的主要经济和市场趋势的详细分析，并提供了影响每个地区碳纤维需求的主要驱动因素和约束的分析和描述。
该报告是使用来自专有数据库，初级和二级研究以及由GBI Research的行业专家团队进行的数据和内部分析的数据和信息构建的。
