概要
炭素繊維テープの世界市場は、2023年に27億米ドルに達し、2024-2031年の予測期間中にCAGR 12.5%で成長し、2031年には69億米ドルに達すると予測されています。
現在、炭素繊維テープのリサイクル可能性の向上に調査が集中しています。これは廃棄物を減らすだけでなく、全体的な価格を下げることにもつながります。2023年11月、ドイツのアーヘンにあるフラウンホーファー生産技術研究所の研究者は、炭素繊維テープの元の機械的強度を90%近く維持したままリサイクルする新しいプロセスの開発を発表しました。
有意義な方法で製造コストを削減することは、市場にとって引き続き重要な課題です。科学者たちは新しい製造技術を研究しているが、実用化にはまだ数十年かかります。コストが下がれば、エンジニアリング用途での炭素繊維テープの使用は飛躍的に増えると思われます。
ダイナミクス
航空機構造への複合材採用の増加
航空機メーカーは、その高い強度対重量比と耐疲労性から、航空機構造のエンジニアリングに炭素繊維を採用しています。新しいエアバスA350型機の胴体と翼の構造は炭素繊維複合材料でできています。同様に、ボーイング737 MAXと次期777Xの主翼も複合材でできています。同様に、ロシアの新型旅客機イルクートMC-21も、機体面積の80%近くに複合材を使用しています。
ボーイングもエアバスも現在、航空会社からの大型注文に対応して航空機の生産率を高めています。インドの航空会社2社であるエア・インディアとインディゴは、インド航空市場での事業拡大を目指し、合わせて970機の航空機を発注しました。
戦争における海上無人船舶の利用増加
現在進行中のウクライナ・ロシア戦争では、無人水上艦艇の利用が本格化しました。ロシアの黒海艦隊からのミサイル攻撃に対抗するため、ウクライナは爆発物を搭載した海上無人船を投入し、ロシアのコルベットや揚陸艦を攻撃しています。2024年3月には、ウクライナの無人艦艇がクリミアのフェオドシヤ付近でミサイル艦セルゲイ・コトフを追跡攻撃した。
ウクライナに対抗するため、ロシアも独自の海軍ドローンを配備し始めました。2023年11月、国防企業はGRK-700 Vizir無人偵察機の大規模なテストを開始しました。黒海地域での紛争がさらに激化すれば、新たな攻撃作戦を展開するための無人艦艇の需要はますます高まると思われます。
高い加工・製造コスト
炭素繊維テープの現在の世界の生産能力は、将来予測される需要を満たすには極めて不十分です。複雑な製造工程を考えると、既存の生産者では需要増に見合うだけの生産規模を確保できないです。このような要因により、炭素繊維テープのコストは依然として高く、その工学的用途は一部のニッチ分野に限られています。
現在、科学者たちは炭素繊維テープの製造コスト削減に取り組んでいます。米国のオークリッジ国立研究所は最近、エネルギー使用量を60%削減し、全体的な製造コストを半減できる新しい製造方法を発明しました。しかし、この技術が完全に成熟するまでには、まだ何年もかかります。
Overview
Global Carbon Fiber Tapes Market reached US$ 2.7 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 6.9 billion by 2031, growing with a CAGR of 12.5% during the forecast period 2024-2031.
Research is now focused on improving the recyclability of carbon fiber tapes. It will not only reduce wastage, but also bring down overall prices. In November 2023, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology in Aachen, Germany, announced the development of a new process for recycling carbon fiber tapes whilst retaining nearly 90% of their original mechanical strength.
Reducing production costs in a meaningful way continues to remain a key challenge for the market. While scientists are researching new manufacturing techniques, they are still decades away from any sort of commercialization. If costs go lower, then the usage of carbon fiber tapes in engineering applications will increase drastically.
Dynamics
Increasing Adoption Of Composites in Aircraft Structures
Aircraft producers are adopting carbon fiber for the engineering of aircraft structures due to its high strength-to-weight ratio and fatigue resistance. The fuselage and wing structure of the new Airbus A350 aircraft is made of carbon fiber composites. Similarly, the wings of the Boeing 737 MAX and the upcoming 777X are also made of composites. Similarly, the Irkut MC-21, a new Russian passenger jet, also uses composites for nearly 80% of its aircraft body area.
Both Boeing and Airbus are currently increasing their aircraft production rates in response to large-sized orders from airlines. Air India and Indigo, two Indian carriers, have placed a combined order of 970 aircraft as both airlines look to scale up their operations in the Indian aviation market.
Increasing Usage of Marine Unmanned Vessels in Warfare
The usage of unmanned surface vessels has really come to the fore during the ongoing Ukraine-Russia war. To counter missile strikes from Russia's Black Sea fleet, Ukraine has fielded explosive-laden naval unmanned vessels to strike Russian corvettes and landing ships. In March 2024, Ukrainian naval drones chased down and attacked the missile ship Sergei Kotov near Feodosiya in Crimea.
To counter Ukraine, Russia has also began fielding its own naval drones. In November 2023, state defence companies began extensive testing of the GRK-700 Vizir drone. As the conflict further intensifies in the black sea region, it will only escalate the demand for unmanned vessels to launch new offensive operations.
High Cost of Processing and Manufacturing
The current global production capacity of carbon fiber tapes is woefully insufficient to meet the future projected demand. Given the complex manufacturing process, existing producers simply cannot scale production to meet demand growth. Such factors have ensured that the cost of carbon fiber tapes remains high and its engineering applications are limited to a few niche areas.
Now scientists are working on reducing production costs for carbon fiber tapes. The Oak Ridge National Laboratory in U.S. has recently invented a new production method which uses 60% less energy and can cut overall production costs by half. However, the technology is still years away from full maturation.
The global carbon fiber tapes market is segmented based on resin, form, manufacturing process, application, end-user and region.
The Aerospace & Defense Industry Will Continue to Account for the Maximum Demand
The fabrication and curing process for carbon fiber has reached a good level of maturation. It has become the default choice of material for aerospace component manufacturing. As such, with emerging markets like India witnessing rapid growth in international air travel, the demand for carbon fiber tapes for aircraft production is only expected to increase.
Carbon fiber tapes are also being used in defense applications, especially for drone making. With drones forming a critical part of modern combined arms operations, the demand from the aerospace industry will only increase in the future.
North America Will Have the Largest Market Share
The demand in North America is mainly driven by the growth in civilian and military aircraft production. U.S-based Boeing is one of the two major aircraft producers globally and although it is currently experiencing quality control and production issues, it is expected to bring the new 777X long range airliner and an improved version of its 737 MAX to the market over the short term.
The U.S. air force is also currently finalizing the requirements for a new supersonic fighter jet that is expected to enter service sometime in the 2040s. The new jet is expected to make extensive usage of carbon fiber composite to enhance its performance and stealth characteristics. Given the advanced nature of its aerospace and defense industry, North America will continue to have a major share in the global market.
The pandemic created a problem for carbon fiber tape producers in fulfilling existing contracts. With the pandemic getting worse, demand from the aerospace industry virtually ground to a halt, thus affecting many specialist suppliers. Some companies also tried to utilize the tapes for manufacturing composite parts for medical equipment.
As soon as the restrictions were lifted, demand rose sharply and manufacturers once again had difficulty in fulfilling orders. Supply chain constraints prevented companies from rapidly expanding their production capacity. Overall, the global market has emerged more resilient from the pandemic.
Ukraine began using carbon fiber tapes for the industrial-level manufacturing of loitering munitions and naval drones. Production gathered pace in 2023, especially as Russia stepped up its offensive operations in southeast parts of the country. Due to the prevailing security situation, supplies of the tapes had to be routed through western countries like Poland.
Western sanctions have made it difficult for Russian defense companies to undertake production of drones and other equipment required for the war effort. Therefore, the government has resorted to the grey market for imports as well as increasing local production of carbon fiber tapes. New factories are currently being built to further expand drone production.
By Manufacturing Process
The major global players in the market include Evonik Industries AG, Solvay SA, Toray Industries, Inc., SABIC, Hexcel Corporation, Teijin Limited, SGL Carbon, Mitsubishi Chemical Group Corporation, Avient Corporation and Celanese Corporation.
