Summary

Carbon fiber has a high strength to weight ratio and improves vehicle efficiency. Globally increasing production of lightweight automobiles is driving up demand for carbon fibers in the automotive industry. This is explained by the fact that automobiles made of materials with great strength and low weight have better fuel economy and longer driving distance.
Significant factors impacting the growth of the automotive carbon fiber market include adoption of carbon fiber in automobiles, stringent government regulations on emission norms. However, the high cost of carbon fibers hampers market growth. In addition, growth in sales of zero emission vehicles presents significant opportunities for market expansion.
Enhancing the fuel efficiency of automobiles along with maintaining safety and performance relies significantly on advanced materials. The potential for increased vehicle efficiency lies in the use of lightweight materials, as it requires less energy to accelerate a lighter object compared to a heavier one. A 10% decrease in vehicle weight has the potential to yield a 6%-8% improvement in fuel economy. Carbon fibers are lighter compared to steel and aluminium due which it is replacing the same for vehicle part production.

The market is experiencing growth driven by a rising need for vehicle stability on roads and a focus on enhancing the durability and performance of vehicles to ensure efficient fuel consumption across the regions. Additionally, strict pollution regulations in North America and Europe have compelled manufacturers to incorporate lightweight materials in the production process, thereby bolstering market growth.
Increase in global concerns regarding the negative effect of climate change along with alarming pollution levels recorded in major cities have created a significant demand for electric vehicles. This involves the use of electric vehicles that do not use gas and are more economical than conventional vehicles. Carbon fibers are widely used to manufacture parts of the electric vehicles such as clutch plates, breaks, and other parts as it saves energy reduces emissions. An electric vehicle converts over 50% of the electrical energy from the grid to power at the wheels, whereas the gas-powered vehicle only manages to convert about 17%–21% of the energy stored in gasoline.
PAN-based carbon fiber materials are preferred for use in the automotive industry owing to their high strength, low heat expansion, moisture absorption, lightweight, specific strength, ease of use, and thermal conductivity. There is no significant growth in technology used to manufacture PAN precursors and carbon fibers, and thus there is high scope for improvement in process and product areas. This factor is expected to enhance the overall market demand for PAN-based carbon fiber market.

The demand for fuel-efficient vehicles has increased recently, owing to the rise in the price of petrol and diesel. This is due to depleting fossil fuel reserves and growth in tendency of companies to gain maximum profit from oil reserves. Thus, these factors give rise to the need for advanced fuel-efficient technologies, leading to a surge in demand for carbon fiber for vehicle parts production.
