What challenges does the 2019 carbon fiber industry face?

In general, the current global carbon fiber industry is still in the stage of “Japan-US monopoly, China's growth”.

In recent years, China's carbon fiberdemand has continued to increase, but its dependence on imports exceeds 80%. From January to March 2019, China's carbon fiber imports reached 848.32 tons, up 9% from January to March 2018. It is expected that the annual import volume will exceed 3,500 tons in 2019, and China's carbon fiber demand is expected to reach 27,000 tons in 2020.

Although China's carbon fiber industry has made great progress in technology and production, and has a certain capacity, but the capacity realization rate is low, and the quality of domestic carbon fiber products is still relatively low, there is a low-end overcapacity, high-end supply Insufficient situation. On the other hand, due to foreign technology blockades and export restrictions, China's carbon fiber has been in short supply for a long time.

The dependence of carbon fiber equipment is high, and the equipment level greatly affects the development and industrialization of high-end carbon fiber products. The backwardness of domestic carbon fiber technology and products is also the result of low equipment level to a certain extent. On the other hand, domestically produced low-end carbon fiber products are subject to low-cost competition from abroad, and domestic enterprises are mostly at a loss state, and production capacity cannot be effectively released.

On the other hand, the domestic carbon fiber industry has a long way to go.
