Global Carbon Fiber Prepreg Market Research Report: Forecast to 2023
Synopsis of Carbon Fiber Prepreg Market Prepreg are a type of composite fibers which consists of a thermoset polymer material. Carbon fiber prepreg is a fiber material that is pre-impregnated with catalyzed resins. The manufacturing of these carbon fibers requires vacuum bagging supplies, composite vacuum pumps, and high thermal stable molds. These fibers require a very low temperature of around -20 Âş C to prevent it from getting cured before the application. The two major methods used in the synthesis of carbon fiber prepreg are hot melt process and solvent dip process. The advantages such as high tensile strength, chemical resistance, and lightweight makes it suitable for many end-use industries such as aerospace, automobile, and wind turbine industries among others. The growing demand for carbon fiber prepreg in the end user industries is the major factor driving the market growth during the forecast years. Moreover, the growing demand for fuel efficient car, along with the growing investment in the renewable energy sector is substantially contributing to the growth of the carbon fiber prepreg market. Among the various resin segments in carbon fiber prepreg market, the epoxy resin segment is the leading one and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The properties such as high strength to weight ratio and enhance heat corrosion and moisture resistance of epoxy resin makes them suitable for applications such as aerospace, defense, sports & leisure, and wind among others. Among the end use industry aerospace & defense is the leading segment owing to the high performance stability of carbon fiber prepreg than other conventional materials. Market Segmentation The global carbon fiber prepreg market is segmented into resin type, manufacturing process and end user industry. On the basis of the resin type, the market is segregated into epoxy resin, phenolic resin, BMI resin, cyanate ester resin, thermoplastic resin and other resins. The market by manufacturing process is segmented into hot melt manufacturing process and solvent dip manufacturing process. The market by end user industry is further categorized into automotive, aerospace & defense, sports & leisure, wind energy, and others.
