Carbon Fiber Requests Capacity of China

Carbon fiber is known as the king of new material, which is important for upgrading of manufacturing industry and national defense security of China. However, Chinese carbon fiber industry has a good development, but still is suffering low capacity of research and development, uneven quality and other problems, which still falls much behind America, Japan, and other developed countries. Therefore, all the insiders appeal for guiding and supporting to carbon fiber industry.

In 2014, the global total carbon fiber output was around 100 thousand tons, almost from America and Japan. And it was only about 3200 tons in China, which shared about 3.2% of global output... However, it’s predicted that the demand of carbon fiber in China should be 15,000 tons, much more than the biggest output in China. Besides, Chinese the four industry-big airplanes, offshore wind power, automobile lighting and high-speed roads will definitely enhance the demand of carbon fiber. “If domestic carbon fiber industry can’t grab the chance of booming, it will be difficult to keep Chinese main industries from limitations of other countries.

Facing the prospect of carbon fiber, the points are industrial scale and industrial chain. Firstly, government should help to set leading companies at each point in the industrial chain.
