Description

Definition and Scope:

Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) equipment is a cutting-edge manufacturing technology that automates the process of laying continuous fiber-reinforced thermoset or thermoplastic prepreg tapes onto a substrate. This method utilizes robotic systems to precisely position fibers, enabling the production of complex, lightweight, and high-strength composite structures. AFP is particularly advantageous in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and wind energy, where performance and material efficiency are paramount. The equipment typically comprises robotic arms, heating systems, tension control mechanisms, and automated control units, facilitating high-speed, high-precision fiber deposition. Compared to traditional manual layup techniques, AFP offers enhanced production efficiency, reduced material waste, and consistent quality control, making it a preferred choice for advanced composite manufacturing.

The Chinese Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) equipment market is experiencing significant growth, driven by advancements in manufacturing technologies and increasing demand for high-performance composite materials. In 2024, the Chinese Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) equipment market was valued at approximately USD 72 Million, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5% from 2025 to 2033.
