Growing application of carbon fiber based pressure vessels in fuel cell vehicles will create growth opportunities for the global carbon fiber in light weight pressure vessels market
The global carbon fiber in light weight pressure vessels market is expected to experience growing demands of carbon fibers in tightened vessels for the storage of high-pressure hydrogen gas. The carbon fiber is considered as the best option for the production of reliable and safe pressure vessels as it has the capability to hold the high pressure of hydrogen owing to which the global automotive manufacturers are increasingly involved in the development of fuel cell vehicles, as well as respective national governments are also providing infrastructure construction support for the production of fuel cell vehicles.
Precursors Insights
On the basis of precursors, the global carbon fiber in light weight pressure vessels market has been segmented into Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and pitch. The Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) segment led the global carbon fiber in a lightweight pressure vessels market. Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) is carbon fiber that contains approximately 68% of carbon and is one of the most widely used precursors for carbon fibers. PAN is polymerized from acrylonitrile (AN) by the commonly used inhibitors such as azo compounds and peroxides through the polymerization process. The rising demand for carbon fiber in the light-weight pressure vessels has led to an upsurge to the manufacturing and production of PAN as it is one of the most widely used precursors.
Tow Size Insights
The global carbon fiber in light weight pressure vessels market by tow size has been segmented into 12k To 24k and above 24K. The 12k To 24k segment accounted for the largest share in the global carbon fiber in light weight pressure vessels market. The heavy and stiff nature of 12k to 24k tow size carbon fibers proves to be beneficial in the military and scientific equipment applications which are a major factor contributing to the growth and expansion of the 12K to 24K tow size carbon fiber all over the globe. Some of the major key players who manufacture the 12K to 24K carbon fiber are Toray Composite Materials America, Inc., Teijin Limited, SGL group among many others.
