Africa carbon fiber market is estimated to grow nominal during the forecast period. The key aspects driving the market are the increasing demand for fuel-efficient and lightweight vehicles, accelerating usage in the aerospace and defense sector, and increasing usage in renewable energy. The drivers that facilitate the demand for the carbon fiber market are as follows like the demand from the automotive sector, the wind turbine industries and the pressure vessels industries. The Covid-19 has significantly affected the trade on various nations under the African region since; they are unable to import both composite and non-composite carbon fibers.
According to 6Wresearch, Africa Carbon Fiber Market size is projected to witness nominal growth during 2020-26. Currently, South Africa accounts for the largest producing country in the Africa region. The countries that will dominate in the future carbon fiber are Tanzania, Morocco and Ethiopia. Due to the huge investments in the renewable energy and automotive sector in the Africa region these countries are going to witness a good amount of profits in the coming years.
The market segmentation is categorised into raw material, product type, form type and applications. Based on raw material, the market is sub-segmented into PAN, pitch & rayon. Based on the raw material type, the PAN-based and RAYON based is to witness subsequent growth during the coming time. The key segment is non-composite carbon fiber. The market value is ascribed to the increased production by the major aerospace and defense manufacturers.
The key market players in the Africa region are Formtech Composites, Hexcel Corporation, HITCO Carbon composites Inc., Kemrock Industries and Exports Limited, Mitsubishi Rayon Carbon Fiber & Composites.
