Global Bidirectional Carbon Fiber Prepreg Market Growth 2026-2032
Description
The global Bidirectional Carbon Fiber Prepreg market size is predicted to grow from US$ 425 million in 2025 to US$ 639 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.0% from 2026 to 2032.
Biaxially oriented carbon fiber prepreg is a composite material semi-finished product made by pre-impregnating 0°/90° carbon fiber woven fabric (plain weave/twill weave/satin weave, etc.) with epoxy, phenolic, BMI, or thermoplastic resins as reinforcement, with precise control over resin content, thickness, and volatile matter. This facilitates stable laying and molding, making it suitable for biaxial load-bearing structural components.
Upstream industries include PAN-based carbon fiber and fabric auxiliaries, resin/curing agent/toughening agent, release paper/film, and other auxiliary materials, as well as testing and standardization services. Downstream industries mainly serve manufacturers and end-user brands of composite components for aerospace secondary structures, automotive/rail transit lightweighting, wind power local reinforcement and repair, shipbuilding and industrial equipment, sports and leisure, and drones.
In 2025, the global price of biaxially oriented carbon fiber prepreg was $131/kg, with sales of 3,320 tons, an average annual production capacity of approximately 125 tons per production line, and an industry profit margin of 15-20%.
Global Market Future Development Trends:
Demand will continue to be driven by lightweighting and electrification. The automotive and rail transportation sectors, aiming for weight reduction and efficiency improvements, are increasingly favoring scalable biaxially oriented prepregs. Larger-scale wind power projects are increasing demand for localized reinforcement and repair. Simultaneously, drones, robots, and high-end sports equipment are driving up demand for stable and consistent prepregs.
Process technology is evolving towards automation-friendly and rapid prototyping. The proportion of biaxially oriented prepregs, better suited for automated cutting and application, hot pressing/molding, OOA (Out of Air) systems, and rapid curing, is increasing. Resin systems, while maintaining toughness and fatigue resistance, are reducing tackiness, improving lay-up window and shelf life, thus helping to reduce scrap rates in mass production.
Sustainability and compliance will become key competitive focuses. Solutions with low volatility, low solvent content, and higher recycled carbon fiber content will become more common. Thermoplastic prepregs are rapidly penetrating the transportation sector due to their recyclability and weldability. On the supply chain side, regionalized production capacity, quality traceability, batch consistency, and certification testing capabilities will further raise the industry's entry barriers.
