CARBON FIBER COMPOSITE HEATING ELEMENTS MARKET ANALYSIS

Global carbon fiber composite heating elements market was valued at US$ 4,254.1 Million in 2022 in terms of revenue, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.98% during the forecast period (2023 to 2030) and expected to grow at US$ 7,295.7 Million by 2030.

Carbon fiber composite heating elements are lightweight and strong fiber-reinforced elements that contain carbon fiber. Carbon fiber composites can be potential alternatives to other metal-based heating elements such as aluminum, owing to properties such as lightweight, high temperature tolerance, and high tensile strength. As a result, carbon fiber composites have a wide range applications as industrial and commercial heaters, and also in the aerospace industry for de-icing purposes.

Drivers

Rising car production, along with the surging need for lightweight vehicles, is likely to fuel the carbon fiber market growth. The increasing demand from manufacturers to produce automotive body parts such as hoods, deck lids, bumper beams, and fenders may favor the product demand. Adopting carbon fibers increases the durability of vehicles, thus longer life auto parts. Composites are primarily used in motorsports and luxury vehicles, which are driving the market. Companies are adopting strategies and investing in processes that can reduce the overall vehicle’s weight. Hence, the application of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) is widely used in high-end supercars. The material has a very high strength-to-weight ratio, and the density is as low as 1.6g/cc, making it extremely lightweight. The advantage of a lightweight car is to have better fuel efficiency, and a 10% reduction in weight can save up to 6% to 8% of fuels in automobiles.

Car companies such as Audi, BMW, Honda, Polestar, and General Motors are focusing on collaborating with carbon composite material manufacturers for mass production and are investing in their processes to support low-cost composite materials. For instance, in May 2020, General Motors collaborated with Teijin, a Japanese information technology, chemical, and pharmaceutical company, to use CFRTP in its high production vehicle, and the material is being used for the mass production of vehicles.
