Dublin, Feb. 08, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Growth Opportunities for Carbon Fiber in the Global Automotive Market" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Carbon fiber in the global automotive market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.9% from 2018 to 2023.

The future of carbon fiber in the global automotive market looks promising with opportunities in the exterior, interior, chassis, powertrain, and under body system market. The major growth drivers for this market are increasing automotive production and growing demand for lightweight material due to stringent government regulations to increase fuel efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Emerging trends, which have a direct impact on the dynamics of carbon fiber in the global automotive industry, include development of hybrid, low cost, and recyclable carbon fiber for automotive market.

The researcher forecasts that the carbon fiber textile is expected to remain the largest market by value and volume due to increasing demand in automotive exterior applications. Within this market, exterior will remain the largest application by value and volume due to increasing usage of carbon fiber in hood, fender, panel, roof, front end module, and wind shield. The researcher predicts that the demand for carbon fiber in chassis application is expected to experience the highest growth in the forecast period. Europe is expected to remain the largest market and witness the highest growth over the forecast period due to the increasing production of luxury and sports car. Government regulations, such as CAFE Standards in the US and carbon emission targets in Europe, are putting pressure on OEMs to incorporate lightweight materials to reduce the vehicle weight.

Some of the carbon fiber in the global automotive companies profiled in this report include SGL, Toray, Mitsubishi Rayon, Toho Tenax, Formosa Plastic, Hexcel, Cytec, DOWAKSA, Hyosung Corporation, and Composite Holding.
