Recycled Carbon Fiber Market Size to Reach USD 342.0 Million in 2030 | Cost Competitiveness Compared to Virgin Carbon Fiber is a Crucial Factor Driving Industry Demand, Says Emergen Research

VANCOUVER, BC, May 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The global recycled carbon fiber market size reached USD 126.0 Million in 2021 and is expected to register a significantly rapid revenue CAGR during the forecast period, according to latest analysis by Emergen Research. The global shift from a throughput economy toward circular economy is a crucial factor driving market revenue growth.

Drivers:

The growing demand from the footwear industry is a key factor driving the market growth. Recycled carbon fiber is primarily used in the production of the stiff plate that is attached to the shoe's sole. The increasing popularity of recycled carbon fiber can also be attributed to its lightweight and durability. Stiff plates manufactured from recycled carbon fiber are typically fixed in a lightweight foam with a shoe profile and heel height that vary from shoe to shoe. The plate, however, does not cover much of the sole. For example, in the Brooks Hyperion Elite, the carbon fiber plate is only one-millimeter-thick, with a 0.5 millimeter raised spine running through the shoe's midsole. In addition, prominent footwear brands such as Nike and others have already invested in carbon fiber materials and used them in the production of shoes. Athletes competing in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, for example, wore Nike's VaporFly ZoomX shoe.

The primary goal of incorporating carbon fiber plates into athletic shoes is to improve energy return. This increased energy return is especially beneficial for competitive long-distance runners, where every second counts. Other sports can benefit from carbon fiber's shock absorption and increased energy return. VKTRY, for example, manufactures a line of carbon fiber shoe insoles suitable for a variety of sports. These insoles are flexible and have varying lengths of carbon fiber arranged in various directions. VKTRY also employs an algorithm to determine which insole suits best and meets the needs of an athlete based on their sport and physical attributes.

As a result, with the growing demand for carbon fiber in this industry, it is critical to provide cost-effective solutions that not only facilitate large-scale adoption but also maintain high-quality standards. Recycled carbon fiber aids end-use industries in significantly reducing manufacturing expenses and enables them to achieve sustainability goals set by the governments in various countries.

Restraints:

The scarcity of composite materials is a major impediment to market expansion. End-use industries have a high demand for carbon-based composite materials. This is primarily due to their advantages, which include high stiffness, high tensile strength, low weight, and high chemical and temperature resistance. However, the rapid spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the Ukraine war, have had a significant impact on the composite materials supply chain. This impact is particularly noticeable in emerging economies; for example, in India, material transportation has significantly disrupted the aircraft industry, and demand for new aircraft is drastically reduced.

In addition, India's heavy reliance on other countries for the supply of materials used in the manufacture of composites has imposed a significant burden on the aviation sector. Carbon composites have largely replaced popular materials like metal in this industry, owing to their ability to impart lightweight and high strength to the manufactured product. In addition, their anti-corrosive properties make them an excellent choice for wing assemblies, seats, propellers, and other applications. As a result, procuring these composites are expensive. In addition, when the pandemic caused a liquidity crisis, the composite materials industry nearly came to a halt, and many industry participants moved out of business.

Moreover, Russia, Ukraine, and their surrounding countries are the major suppliers of raw materials and composites required in end-use industries. Even if the war ends officially, the business world in Russia or in Ukraine requires significant time to return to normal conditions.

Growth Projections:

The global recycled carbon fiber market is expected to register a CAGR of 11.7% over the forecast period and revenue is projected to increase from USD 126.0 Million in 2021 to USD 342.0 Million in 2030. Significant investments made by governments in various countries play a major role in driving market growth. For instance, on May 14, 2022, Deakin University located in Geelong, Australia announced funding support from the Federal Government in order to address their national manufacturing priorities. The grant of USD 50 Million was made under the Trailblazer Universities program.

Recycling and Renewable Energy Commercialization Hub (REACH) of Deakin is now a prestigious part of the program and through this Deakin will work closely with industries, and education partners to establish a billion-dollar bio-economy that focuses on clean energy, recycling, and greener supply chains. In addition, REACH is also expected to leverage Daikin's strengths in battery technology, carbon fiber & hydrogen, and drive significant innovation and job opportunities in Geelong, Western Victoria, and beyond.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis:

Global recycled carbon fiber market had been significantly disrupted by the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic. Carbon fiber is a crucial material that serves various end-use industries with the most prominent being automotive, wind energy, civil engineering, and marine.  Increasing demand can be primarily attributed to their lightweight and high dimensional stability. In addition, due to properties such as susceptibility to extreme temperature, and corrosion & chemical resistance, carbon fiber significantly replaces materials such as steel, aluminum, and plastics in end industries.

Therefore, rising awareness regarding the aforementioned benefits has significantly boosted the demand for carbon fiber thereby necessitating its reusability. Recycling carbon fiber derived from end-of-life products is essential as it offers a cost savings of 20 to 40% over virgin carbon fiber alternatives. Moreover, with countries focusing on sustainability and judicious utilization of existing resources, this becomes even more crucial.

However, with the rapid spread of the COVID-19 virus, and an increase in the mortality rate, governments in various started imposing stringent regulations, particularly on international trade. This majorly dented the supply chain thereby affecting end production. Various prominent automotive manufacturers such as Volkswagen, BMW, and Ford saw a decrease in their market shares during this period. This was primarily due to the implementation of lockdowns, which adversely impacted global mobility.

Moreover, aerospace industries located in countries such as U.S., France, and China were significantly affected which further decreased the demand for recycled carbon fiber in this industry. The market has finally gained momentum now that lockdowns and trade restrictions have been lifted, and governments, as well as industry participants, are significantly focusing on sustainable methods for manufacturing products.
