Book "Trends and Business Strategy Reconstruction of CFRP by Application"

In response to the societal demand for carbon neutrality, we have summarized the trends of users and the supply chain regarding the increased adoption of CFRP.

CFRP has been expanding its market primarily in the aerospace, automotive, wind power generation, and pressure vessel sectors. While it has been significantly impacted by COVID-19, the continued demand for improved fuel efficiency and CO2 reduction—reasons for the adoption of CFRP—along with the concretization of the concept of carbon neutrality, has led to a stronger trend towards the use of renewable and clean energy. This has created an environment conducive to increased adoption in response to societal demands for wind power generation and hydrogen gas utilization. We have summarized the trends of CFRP users and the supply chain in response to various situations. 【Features of this document】 ➢ How carbon fiber manufacturers have adapted to the reduced production of aircraft due to the pandemic ➢ With the tailwind of decarbonization, carbon fiber manufacturers are focusing on blades for wind power generation ➢ A summary of the development status of "Variable Axis Composite Materials (VAC)," which has been attracting attention in recent years ➢ An expansion in the adoption of high-performance materials such as CFRP for fuel cells and hydrogen tanks is increasingly anticipated ➢ How the applications of CFRP have changed before and after COVID-19, and how business strategies have been restructured ➢ An explanation of the trending topic of "flying cars" and the environmental response trend of "recycling"
