CarbonThermoplastic market size, share & industry analysis, By Raw Material (Polyacronitrile, Pitch), By Application (Automotive, Aerospace, Wind Turbines, Sport Equipment, Construction, Marine, Others) and regional forecast 2023-2030

Carbon thermoplastic also referred as carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite (CFRTP) is an extremely strong and light in nature, stiff type of thermoplastic which is employed in various end-use sectors like automobile, aerospace, construction, sports, technical and consumer applications. Carbon thermoplastic is composite material and its strength depends upon the layout and the proportion of the carbon fibers to the matrix used for reinforcing.

Increasing demand from aerospace sector for material with high mechanical strength, stiffness, weight to strength ratio and rigidity shall drive the market growth. The increasing use of this composite thermoplastic in automobile sector to reduce the overall weight of the vehicles and fuel consumption shall raise the demand.

However, carbon thermoplastic is specially designed and manufactured using advanced machines and techniques. High cost of production of such kind of composite materials shall hinder the market growth.
