China’s Upcoming Rise of Carbon Fiber Industry

发布时间:2016-08-09 14:18

 It is reported that the demand for carbon fiber in the fields of aerospace, entertainment, energy industry in 2011 amount to 44 thousand ton. The annual increase will reach 18.9% before 2015, an increase of 88 thousand tons annually.

Japan currently maintains 70% of world’s carbon fiber production capacity while China less than 10%. With China’s breakthrough of techniques for carbon fiber precursor, its steady production and Germany’s release of carbonization furnace, China will achieve 12 thousand ton carbon fiber in 2013. The world’s increase of carbon fiber composites will be 19.2% presumably, and China’s demand then will reach 20 thousand ton per year.

In the course of industrialization, China’s new material industry must release its low-end volume and pound world’s cost zone, then swiftly become world biggest supplier concerning low-end production volume.

In 2011, the world’s production capacity of carbon fiber approximated 90 thousand ton with exact production volume of 50 thousand ton, while china had world’s 9.5% capacity of 8542 ton and 2000 ton of exact production volume.

In recent years, China has achieved tremendous development concerning carbon fiber and composites industry. With increasing investment, the type and specification of products now became much more diverse. T300 carbon fiber can be produced by China in industrialized fashion. T700 and T800 are made successfully in a small volume. T1000 and M55J are now in a crucial stage. Advancement has also be made in terms of automatic tape-laying and fiber placement machine, vacuum bag, autoclave, multi-axial winding and pultrusion machine, RTM process equipment, molding press, vacuum infusion process and preimprega equipment, etc. The carbon fiber is increasingly applied in sport, entertainment, building consolidation, pressure vessel, etc. Carbon fiber also has a bright future concerning its application in such fields as aerospace, aviation, national defense, new energy, electric power, and automobile, etc. 文章来源:http://www.chinacompositesexpo.com/en/news.php?show=detail&c_id=245&news_id=234
