Carbon fiber is an important strategic material for the development of national defense and military industry and the national economy. It is widely used in wind power blades, aerospace, sporting goods, automotive industry, mixed mold molding, pressure vessels, building reinforcement, electronic appliances and other fields. In 2017, wind turbine blades were still the largest application field of carbon fiber, and its consumption accounted for 23.5% of the total carbon fiber demand. Aerospace is the second largest application field of carbon fiber in addition to wind power blades. In 2017, the global aerospace carbon fiber demand was 19,200 tons, accounting for 22.8% of the total carbon fiber; it is estimated that by 2023, the global aerospace demand for carbon fiber It is expected to exceed 30,000 tons, and the application prospect of aerospace carbon fiber is broad.
Carbon fiber is widely used in various fields
Carbon fiber is an important strategic material for the development of national defense and military industry and the national economy. It is widely used in wind power blades, aerospace, sporting goods, automotive industry, mixed mold molding, pressure vessels, building reinforcement, electronic appliances and other fields. In 2017, wind turbine blades were still the largest application field of carbon fiber, and its consumption accounted for 23.5% of total carbon fiber demand; aerospace was the second largest application field of carbon fiber except wind turbine blades, and its consumption accounted for 22.8% of total carbon fiber The consumption of sports and leisure, automobile industry, mixed mold forming, pressure vessel, and building reinforcement accounted for 15.7%, 11.6%, 8.2%, 6.7%, and 3.8% of the total carbon fiber demand respectively.
Broad prospects for aerospace applications
Carbon fiber has become the main material for multiple aviation components and is widely used in airframes, engines, turbines and other parts. In the aerospace field, carbon fiber materials are more widely used, and carbon fiber appears in launch tubes such as missiles and rockets, as well as engines and heat shields. The quality of the spacecraft is greatly reduced and the transportation capacity of the spacecraft is improved. Since 2011, the global aerospace industry's demand for carbon fiber has continued to increase; in 2017, the global aerospace carbon fiber demand was 19,200 tons, an increase of 9.1% year-on-year; it is expected that by 2023, the global aerospace industry's demand for carbon fiber is expected Over 30,000 tons, the application prospect of aerospace carbon fiber is broad.
Growth in demand for sports and leisure
At present, the sports field is the third largest consumer of carbon fiber in the world. In recent years, the global sports field consumes more than 7,000 tons of carbon fiber each year. From 2014 to 2017, the demand for carbon fiber in the sports field has maintained an average annual growth rate of 24.6%. speed. The application of carbon fiber in the field of sports and leisure is mainly concentrated in sports products such as golf clubs, fishing rods, bicycles, rackets, and ski poles. Compared with traditional metal materials, carbon fiber materials can reduce weight by up to 50%.
Increasing consumption in the automotive sector
In the automotive field, as people's requirements for automobiles are getting higher and higher, the lightweight and safety of automobiles, and the high efficiency of engine efficiency have become one of the main reference factors for contemporary automobile consumption, and carbon fiber materials have become ideal structural materials. At present, carbon fiber is widely used in multiple components such as push rods, connecting rods, and transmission shafts of automobile engines. In addition, it is also widely used in multiple components such as automobile accelerators, chassis suspensions, and doors. In 2017, the global automotive industry's demand for carbon fiber materials reached 9,800 tons.
