"Increasing demand for lightweight and high strength material breaches to drive the CF and CFRP market"
The global Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) market is projected to reach USD 37.19 billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 10.50% between 2017 and 2022. Major factors fueling the growth of the CFRP market are increasing use of carbon fiber composites in Boeing and Airbus aircraft, and rise in demand for lightweight vehicles to achieve fuel efficiency and production of electricity from renewables. The major restraint for growth of the CFRP market is high cost of carbon fiber. The price of automotive grade carbon fiber currently ranges between USD 8/lb and USD 15/lb. If this price is decreased to USD 5/lb -USD7/lb, then carbon fiber can be used for mass production of automobiles.

"Automotive is the fastest-growing end-use industry segment of the CFRP market"
Carbon fiber composites are being used to manufacture lightweight cars for good performance and luxury at economical price. Several key market players are responding to the needs and expectations of vehicle Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), system suppliers, and customers. The key driver for growth of the market for carbon fiber composites is the increasing need for lighter, safer, cleaner, and more cost-effective vehicles. Most common automotive components where carbon fiber composites are used are exterior body parts, hoods, bonnets, and test plates. Additionally, several car companies, such as BMW (Germany), Audi (Germany), and GM (U.S.) have signed agreements with carbon fiber composite manufacturers to support low-cost carbon fiber composites manufacturing.

"Europe is the fastest-growing market for CFRP"
Europe is the fastest-growing market for CFRP, in terms of value and volume. High economic growth rate, rise in the number of manufacturing industries, increasing carbon fiber composites patents, new product developments, capacity expansions, and new plant establishments by various leading players are factors fueling the growth of the CFRP market in the region.

Germany leads the market for CFRP in Europe. Consumption of carbon fiber composites in Germany has grown exceptionally and is expected to witness growth in the future. The number of agreements and joint ventures between carbon fiber manufacturers and OEMs have helped to expand the CFRP business in wind energy, automotive, aerospace & defense, and other industries.
