CFRP Market Breakdown by Application: US
A report published by Lux Research in 2020 suggests that, this year, the projected breakdown of the global carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) market, by end-use industry, is more or less as follows: aerospace (42%), automotive (12%), wind — onshore (12%), wind — offshore (17%), oil and gas (1%), pressure vessels (3%), medical (2%), sporting goods (5%), and others (6%). A report published by Straits Research in 2020, on the other hand, suggests that, in 2019, the breakdown of the global CFRP market, by end-use industry, was more or less as follows: aerospace (30%), automotive (20%), sports equipment (15%), wind power industry (14%), building and construction industry (10%), and others (11%).
Lux Research's report suggests that, this year, the medical industry is projected to account for around 2% of the global CFRP market, and the UAV industry is projected to account for anywhere between 0% to 6% of the global CFRP market. The term 'industrial' needs to be defined, as its definition varies from one source to another. It could cover some industries mentioned above.
Data specific to the United States CFRP market or the United States carbon fiber market could not be located in the public domain.
CFRP Market Segmentation By End-Use Industry
- QY Research, Market Research Engine, Lux Research, Straits Research, Research And Markets, Mordor Intelligence, and Markets And Markets have recently published reports on the CFRP market. These reports provide the breakdown of the market by application, but unfortunately, these reports are paywalled and the scope of these reports is global and not specific to the United States.
- The descriptions of these reports do not readily provide the desired figures, and they only indicate the following information:
- QY Research segments the global CFRP market into the following end-use industries: automotive, aerospace, energy, construction, marine, and others.
- Market Research Engine segments the global CFRP market into the following end-use industries: aerospace and defense, wind turbines, automotive, sports equipment, building and construction, molding compounds, and others.
- Lux Research provides the following chart, which may be used to estimate the global market share of each of the following end-use industries: aerospace, automotive, wind — onshore, wind — offshore, oil and gas, pressure vessels, medical, sporting goods, and other.
- The exact percentages are not provided, but the proportions or measurements provided in the chart above suggest that the projected breakdown of the global CFRP market this year is more or less as follows:

Research Strategy
Several strategies were used in finding the breakdown of the United States CFRP market by application or end-use industry. First, reports published by market research firms on the CFRP market and the carbon fiber market were examined. Second, the disclosures of leading CFRP market players were reviewed, since these players may have shared information about the market they operate in. Annual reports and investor presentations were among the disclosures that were examined. Third, articles and reports published by trade associations such as the American Composites Manufacturers Association and the Federation of Reinforced Plastics and trade publications such as Materials Today and Composite Manufacturing Magazine were examined. An examination of sources specific to the UAV, medical, and industrial segments of the CFRP and carbon fiber market was also attempted.
Unfortunately, data that is specific to the United States CFRP market could not be located in the public domain. Only insights specific to the global CFRP market and the global carbon fiber market were found.
