Global Carbon Fiber Felt Market Growth 2025-2031
Description
The global Carbon Fiber Felt market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1372 million in 2025 to US$ 1959 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.1% from 2025 to 2031.
The impact of the latest U.S. tariff measures and the corresponding policy responses from countries worldwide on market competitiveness, regional economic performance, and supply chain configurations will be comprehensively evaluated in this report.
Carbon fiber felt is a porous, fibrous material made of carbon fibers. It possesses high strength, low weight, high temperature resistance, and excellent electrical and thermal conductivity. Carbon fiber felt is widely used in aerospace, automotive manufacturing, and the electronics industry, being employed to manufacture lightweight structural components, thermal management systems, and electromagnetic shielding materials, etc.
Market opportunities and key drivers:
The core opportunities in the carbon fiber mat market stem from the combined effect of the new energy revolution, the upgrading of high-end manufacturing, and policy benefits. With the global surge in demand for lightweight, high-strength, and corrosion-resistant materials, the application of carbon fiber mats has rapidly expanded in fields such as wind power, new energy vehicles, and aerospace. For instance, in the wind power sector, carbon fiber mats, as reinforcement materials for blades, can reduce weight by 20% and enhance power generation efficiency. The trend of lightweighting in new energy vehicles further releases demand, and the use of carbon fiber mats in battery packs and vehicle body structures can increase range by 20%. From a policy perspective, China's "carbon neutrality" goal drives green manufacturing, and the government accelerates domestic substitution through tax incentives and research and development subsidies (up to 5 million yuan per enterprise). Additionally, the expansion of global renewable energy projects (such as liquid flow battery energy storage systems) promotes the application of carbon fiber mats in energy storage. For example, breakthroughs in pre-impregnation processes and low-temperature curing technologies have reduced production costs by 30%, driving the penetration rate of high-end products from 25% to 40%.
Challenges and future directions:
The industry currently faces three challenges: technical bottlenecks, cost pressure, and international competition. The core raw material polyacrylonitrile (PAN) is imported, with a domesticization rate of less than 50%, resulting in the monopoly of the high-end market by international giants like Toray and SGL; meanwhile, the carbon fiber production process is complex (carbonization and graphitization account for 60% of the cost), coupled with increasingly strict environmental regulations (such as VOCs emission limits), compressing the profit margin of small and medium-sized enterprises to below 20%. The future direction should focus on: technical integration and green transformation. On one hand, accelerate the development of intelligent and recyclable technology, such as developing AI-driven fiber arrangement technology (increasing strength by 30%) and biobased degradable carbon fiber mats (in response to the EU green agreement), to break through the homogenization competition; on the other hand, deepen vertical integration of the industrial chain - upstream collaboration with petrochemical enterprises to optimize PAN supply, and downstream cooperation with automakers to build a lightweight material ecosystem (such as collaborating with Tesla to customize battery packs). Moreover, leverage international standard recognition (such as EN 280) to expand the high-end market in Europe and the United States, and through "Belt and Road Initiative" technology output to seize the incremental growth of new energy infrastructure in Southeast Asia, ultimately achieving the transformation from "material supplier" to "all-scenario solution provider".
