Pune, India, April 20, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global carbon fiber market is set to gain traction from the rising research and development activities to convert coal tar into CF and composites. It will be able to surge the value of coal tar pitch by five to 55 times, unlike the current value. For instance, the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) collaborated with the University of Kentucky Center for Applied Energy Research (CAER) in December 2020 to convert coal into high-value composites and CF. The project is worth USD 10 million. This information is given by Fortune Business Insights™ in a new report, titled, “Carbon Fiber Market, 2021-2028.” As per the report, the market size was USD 2,238.6 million in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 4,088.8 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.3% during the forecast period.
COVID-19 Pandemic: Market to Be Impacted Because of Disruptions in Automotive Industry
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has compelled industries to stop their manufacturing processes. Government bodies have also implemented lockdown and social distancing measures to prevent transmission. As carbon fibers are extensively used in the automotive industry, supply chain disturbances in the sector have resulted in the lower demand. We are offering in-depth research reports to help you tackle the situation with the best strategy.
