The global carbon tapes market is on track to achieve a value of USD 3.7 billion in 2023, with a robust annual growth rate projected over the coming decade. Future Market Insights (FMI) projects that carbon tapes sales will grow at a CAGR of 4.6% through 2033, reaching an estimated market size of USD 5.8 billion by the end of the forecast period.

Leading industry players are driving significant growth in this sector, with the top five companies commanding approximately 25-30% of the global market share in 2022. The demand for prepreg tapes continues to accelerate, especially across the top three countries, which collectively hold 35-40% of the market share in 2022.

According to FMI’s analysis, carbon tapes generated a revenue of USD 3.43 billion in 2021, and the market’s growth outlook remains positive through 2033. The report forecasts that revenue will increase significantly, with an incremental growth opportunity of US$ 2.1 billion expected during the assessment period.

Prominent Drivers of the Carbon Tapes Market

  • Growing Demand in Aerospace and Defense: Carbon tapes are increasingly used in aerospace and defense for lightweight and high-strength components, enhancing fuel efficiency and structural integrity in aircraft and military equipment.
  • Rise in Electric Vehicle (EV) Production: The shift towards EVs requires lighter materials to increase energy efficiency. Carbon tapes contribute to weight reduction, making them popular for EV body parts, battery enclosures, and structural reinforcements.
  • Advancements in Sports Equipment Manufacturing: Carbon tapes are favored in sports and recreational equipment manufacturing (e.g., bikes, golf clubs, and tennis rackets) due to their durability and lightweight properties, enhancing product performance and athlete endurance.
  • Increasing Use in Wind Energy Applications: Wind turbine manufacturers use carbon tapes for blade reinforcement, as they offer durability and strength-to-weight benefits essential for efficient, long-lasting wind turbines.
  • Demand for Durable Construction Materials: Construction and infrastructure industries are adopting carbon tapes for strengthening and reinforcing materials. Their corrosion resistance and high tensile strength make them ideal for projects requiring long-term durability.

Competitive Landscape

The leading companies in the carbon tapes market are working on introducing upgraded products to meet rising demand. Additionally, significant players are attempting to extend their resources through mergers and acquisitions.

For instance:

  • In January 2022, TORAY INDUSTRIES INC developed a new analytical technique for multi-material structures using unidirectional adhesive tape.
  • In May 2021, Teijin Carbon Europe GmbH announced the introduction of a new thermoplastic unidirectional impregnated carbon fiber tape (TPUD) based on PPS.
  • In a collaboration agreement signed in November 2021, Solvay and 9T Laboratories AG agreed that Solvay concentrate on the development of composite materials made of carbon fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone (CF/PEEK), bio-based high performance polyamides, and polyphenylene sulfide (CF/PPS). The agreement greatly increases the variety of tidy and carbon fiber-reinforced materials that 9T Laboratories now provide to clients.
