Global Carbon Fiber for Wind Energy Supply, Demand and Key Producers, 2026-2032
Description
The global Carbon Fiber for Wind Energy market size is expected to reach $ 1129 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 6.0% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).
Carbon fiber (CF) is a material consisting of fibers that are 92% or greater carbon. Each CF filament has a diameter on the order of 5 microns to 15 microns. Numerous parallel filaments are typically grouped together into what is referred to as a CF tow. The term tow count refers to the number of filaments per tow and is often expressed with nomenclature such as 24K where the letter K designates the number 1,000. Thus, 24K describes a CF tow having 24,000 filaments. CF having 24,000 or less filaments is referred to as small tow. The most common small-tow product forms are 1K, 3K, 6K, 12K, and 24K tows. Tows having more than 24K filaments are referred to as large tow, with 48K and 50K tows being common large-tow product forms. However, tows with multiple hundreds of thousands filaments are also available. Smalltow material properties, including higher tensile strength and higher modulus when laid or woven into a composite, are superior to large tow and consequently predominately used in industries such as aerospace where high performance is demanded. However, small-tow fibers are more costly than high tow fibers. Another CF classification is by precursor material, which is the multi-element starting material subjected to heat treatment so that nearly all non-carbon atoms are ejected and only carbon remains. Precursor materials include rayon, pitch, and polyacrylonitrile (PAN). The latter, PAN, has more than 96% of the CF market due to its cost-effectiveness and the quality of the fiber produced. Carbon fiber can also be classified as one of three modulus (i.e., a substance’s resistance to being deformed elastically when force is applied to it) groups: standard modulus, intermediate modulus, and high modulus as shown in Table 1. Standard modulus CF has 80%–90% of total market today. Carbon fiber cost has strong positive correlation with modulus. Carbon fiber is also classified by tensile strength, which can be loosely correlated with modulus. Table 1 shows that high-modulus and ultra-high-modulus CF can have lower tensile strength than intermediate modulus as strength declines when undergoing the processes required to achieve high- and ultra-high modulus. Other notable physical properties of carbon fibers include light weight (1.78 grams per cubic centimeter [gm/cc] vs. 8.1 gm/cc for traditional steel), good fatigue resistance and electrical conductivity, chemical inertness, and low coefficient of thermal expansion.
