The market application of the carbon fiber industry!

Aerospace: It is an important application field of carbon fiber, accounting for about 50% of the usage in commercial aircraft manufacturing. It is used to make structural components such as wings and fuselages, which can reduce the weight of the aircraft, improve fuel efficiency and flight performance. In the aerospace field, it is used for radomes, secondary structural components, thermal protection layers, etc., which helps to enhance the payload carrying capacity of spacecraft.

New energy: In the wind power industry, with the large-scale development of wind turbines, carbon fiber is an ideal material for manufacturing ultra-long blades, which can enhance the conversion efficiency and wind resistance of the blades. In the field of hydrogen energy, carbon fiber wound composite gas cylinders are used for hydrogen storage, featuring higher working pressure and lighter weight. In the field of fuel cells, the gas diffusion layer prepared from carbon fibers has excellent performance. However, at present, China still relies on imports in this field.

Transportation: In the automotive industry, it is mainly used in high-end models and racing cars, which can reduce vehicle weight, improve fuel efficiency and safety. In the field of rail transit, it is applied to the front of the vehicle, the floor of the equipment compartment, the interior products of the driver's cabin, etc., which can enhance the vehicle's compressive resistance, wear resistance and weather resistance.

Sports and leisure: It is a traditional application market for carbon fiber, widely used in medium and high-end sports and leisure products such as fishing rods, golf clubs, bicycles, rackets, and snowboards. In 2022, the demand for carbon fiber in China's sports and leisure products sector reached 23,000 tons, accounting for 26.1% of the total demand.
