Strong Drivers Pave a Smooth Future for CFRPs

CFRP are widely utilized in myriad applications despite the high price owing to the performance factor. Industries like aerospace and automobile which cannot compromise over performance has utilized CFRP products in the recent past. The use of CFRP is not just confined to aerospace but to other industries that need extra consolidation for their end products. Automobile industry for instance has enhanced their capability of producing lightweight materials by utilizing CFRP composites. There is a clear drop expected from the exorbitant pricing to a nearly affordable one in the near future, owing mainly to the advances in raw materials, innovative assembly techniques and production technologies. This factor has helped the material to gain popularity among other industries. Development of progressive machine and instruments for automatic tape lamination and automated fibre placement has stood among the most important production innovations for thermosetting and thermoplastic CFRPs which will further lead to the reduction in prices.

The Wind energy segment is forecast to become a crucial sector for CFRP composites. The other prominent industry verticals in the CFRP market have been observing stagnant growth in developed economies but the Wind Energy Generation has been gaining a lot of importance owing to the new energy regulations. The Renewable Energy sector is now being contemplated as assets when compared to conventional energy producing sectors. Their ability to offer distributed scalable and low-cost power while mitigating the profitability and environmental issues associated with conventional energy has been considerable in providing impetus to their rapid adoption.

Due to the continuous demand for lightweight and strong composite materials, carbon fibers had become a commercially imperative reinforcement technique for generating high performance engineering composites, which are extremely preferable in automotive, aerospace, and sport industries. With the universal attention moving towards nanomaterial, a new era is entitled for the introduction of a new technology for the production of carbon fibers at nanometer scale. The swiftly developing technique of electro spinning delivers a forthright way to manufacture continuous carbon fibers at Nano-scale. These drivers overhaul the constraints faced by the market and help in propelling the market to a safe future.
