Recycled Carbon Fiber Market to Reach Valuation of USD 0.3 Billion by 2030 – Increasing Demand for Lightweight and High-Performance Materials Drives the Market

In terms of revenue, the Global Recycled Carbon Fiber Market is expected to reach by 2030, growing at a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 10.3% from 2023 to 2030.

Recycled Carbon Fiber is one of the most durable and lightweight composite materials. Recycled Carbon Fiber has advantages over new carbon fiber, such as a 30% cost savings and less trash going to landfills. Recycling carbon fibers entails reusing scrap materials, dry fiber waste, and thermoset carbon fiber-reinforced composites created during the processing of these materials. Recycled Carbon Fibers are made by recovering carbon fibers from carbon-reinforced composites and trash. Recycled Carbon Fiber often has better mechanical qualities than new carbon fiber. Recycling techniques, according to stiffness measures, provide recycled fibers with equivalent stiffness to pure fiber.

Factors such as rising disposable income, technical advancements, and an increase in original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have resulted in considerable expansion in the automotive and transportation sectors. According to the India Brands Equity Foundation, domestic automobile production expanded at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.36% from 2016 to 2020, with 26.36 million vehicles built in India in 2020.
