The aviation carbon fiber market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.65 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rapid growth in electric and hybrid aircraft, increasing emphasis on sustainable aviation, integration of composite materials in aircraft design, urban air mobility (UAM) and advanced aerial vehicles, global efforts to reduce carbon footprint. Major trends in the forecast period include increased use in aircraft components, rising demand for lightweight aircraft, advancements in manufacturing technologies, focus on fuel efficiency and emissions reduction, expansion of electric and hybrid aircraft.

Global Aviation Carbon Fiber Market Key Driver

Growth in passenger air traffic is expected to propel the growth of the aviation carbon fiber market going forward. Passenger air traffic refers to an increase in the number of passengers traveling by air over time that can be measured in a variety of ways, including the number of passengers carried by airlines, the number of flights operated, and the revenue generated by the air travel industry. Carbon fiber composites are being used in aircraft manufacturing due to their lightweight properties, high strength, and fuel efficiency, which offer improved passenger experiences such as more spacious and comfortable cabins. For instance, in February 2023, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), a Canada-based association of world airlines, international passenger traffic increased by 152.7% in 2022 compared to 2021. Additionally, Asia-Pacific airlines reported an increase of 363.3% in full-year international traffic in 2022 compared to 2021, maintaining the highest year-over-year rate among the regions. Therefore, the growth in passenger air traffic is driving the growth of the aviation carbon fiber market going forward.
