Pitch-Based Carbon Fiber Market 2020- COVID-19 Analysis, Forecast 2020-2023


Market Highlights
The Global Pitch-Based Carbon Fiber Market is estimated to be valued at USD 104,337.2 Million by 2023 exhibiting a CAGR of over 6.0%. The demand for carbon fibers has increased in the aerospace & defense industry since the past two decades owing to their superior performance characteristics over metals. Carbon fiber exhibits high tensile strength, chemical resistance, stiffness, low thermal expansion, and low weight properties. Its lightweight yet durable property is particularly driving its demand in the aerospace & defense industry.
Back in the 1900s, the aerospace industry used aluminum as a primary construction material for aircraft as it is a durable metal. However, aluminum is heavier as compared to carbon fiber, which increases the overall weight of an aircraft. Also, the weight of passengers and cargoes (luggage) also add to the overall weight of aircraft. The high weight of aircraft increases the consumption of fuel by the engine.
With the limitations associated with aluminum, the aerospace industry switched from aluminum toward carbon fiber as the primary material in the construction of aircraft, as carbon fiber exhibits excellent properties such as lightweight and durability. In 2003, Boeing Co (Chicago, US) was the first airline company to use carbon fiber, as the primary construction material for 787 commercial jetliner, which included parts such as fuselage (cockpit, cockpit windscreens, doors, passenger windows, avionics, cockpit seating, and wiring), wings, tail, and other structures. Furthermore, Airbus was the second airline company to manufacture aircraft (A350 XWB and A380) using carbon fiber composites. The use of carbon fiber composites has reduced fuel consumption and emissions, reduced the need for maintenance, tooling, and assembly costs. It also delivers an enhanced passenger experience by damping engine vibration.
Carbon fibers are finding increasing applications across various end-use industries due to their advantages such as stiffness, high tensile strength, lightweight, chemical resistance, high-temperature tolerance, and low thermal expansion. They are obtained by pyrolysis of an appropriate precursor fiber. Other than pitch, carbon fibers are produced by pyrolysis of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) or rayon precursors. Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) is the predominant precursor used for producing carbon fiber due to its properties such as superior strength, high stability, and higher carbon yield. About 90 % of the carbon fiber is produced from PAN and the rest is made from rayon or petroleum pitch. The growth in the adoption of PAN-based carbon fibers is further attributed to its lower cost as compared to petroleum pitch or rayon precursors. PAN-based carbon fiber is widely used in several industries such as automotive, aerospace & defense, sporting goods, and construction. The demand has increased as these industries are looking for solutions that save energy, make more durable products, and are environmentally friendly. Thus, the availability of PAN-based carbon fibers at low cost and relatively similar performance characteristics is expected to be the major factor hampering the growth of the global pitch-based carbon fiber market during the forecast period.
