CFRTP Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Resin type (Polyetheretherketone (PEEK), Polyamide (PA), Polycarbonate (PC), Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS)), By Product type (Continuous Carbon Fiber, Long Carbon Fiber, Short Carbon Fiber), By Application (Aerospace, Automotive, Consumer Durables) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

The thermoplastic polymer reinforced with carbon fiber is an incredibly strong and lightweight one. They may be costly to manufacture, but are widely used wherever high thermal mass and rigidity (rigidity) are needed. CFRTP, is a composites comprising high-performance  fibre, such as carbon fiber, that is castrated in a matrix material such as polycarbonate. CFRTP can be generated in both tape and sheet formats which can be developed later with thermoforming techniques.

Expanded use of CFRTP in the aerospace sectors, due to the multiple properties such as lightweight, simple to build, structural accuracy and resistance to chemical attack, as well as functional thermal stability compared to other traditional materials, such as composite thermosets and metals and alloys has led to driving the market growth of CFRTP. However, problems such as rising cost of raw materials and development, and fierce competition from composite materials, serve as constraints on the growth of the CFRTP industry.
