Dublin, Aug. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Carbon Fiber - Company Evaluation Report, 2025" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The Carbon Fiber Companies Quadrant presents a comprehensive analysis of the global carbon fiber market, offering valuable insights into the industry's dynamics. This assessment includes detailed evaluations of key market players, technological advancements, product innovations, and emerging trends. The 360 Quadrants from the publisher evaluated over 100 companies, with the top 14 recognized as quadrant leaders.
Carbon fiber, favored for its high tensile strength, lightweight, high stiffness, excellent heat resistance, and minimal thermal expansion, drives demand across sectors such as aerospace, civil engineering, military, motorsports, and other high-performance sports. Carbon fiber is mainly classified into two types based on raw material: pitch-based and PAN-based, with the latter currently dominating the market.
Despite its superior properties, carbon fiber's relatively high cost, especially compared to alternatives like plastic and glass fibers, poses a significant barrier to broader market penetration.
The 360 Quadrant evaluates the carbon fiber companies based on criteria such as revenue, geographic presence, growth strategies, investments, and sales strategies. Key factors for product footprint evaluation include raw material (PAN-based carbon fiber, pitch-based carbon fiber), fiber type (virgin carbon fiber, recycled carbon fiber), modulus (standard, intermediate, high), product type (continuous, long, short carbon fiber), application (composites, non-composites), and end-use industry (aerospace & defense, wind energy, automotive, and more).
