With policy support, my country’s carbon/carbon composite material market will enter a period of explosive growth

Carbon/carbon composite material (C/C composite material) is an engineering material with excellent performance. It is mainly made of carbon or graphite as the matrix, carbon fiber or graphite fiber as the reinforcing material, and is processed into a carbon matrix composite material. Carbon/carbon composite materials have good dimensional stability, friction resistance, corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity, etc. Since their birth, carbon/carbon composite materials have been used in aerospace, high-temperature equipment, automobiles, solar energy, wind power, biomedicine and other fields. Applications are becoming more and more widespread.

As an important high-temperature material, carbon/carbon composite materials are difficult to prepare. Their preparation processes mainly include chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and liquid immersion carbonization. In the global market, carbon/carbon composite material production capacity is highly concentrated, with production capacity mainly distributed in Japan, Western Europe, the United States and other regions. Related manufacturers include Japan’s Toyo Carbon, Japan’s Toray, Japan’s Kureha Chemical, and the United States’ Hexcel Composite materials, German Zontex, French Mersen, etc.

For a long time, countries such as Europe, the United States, and Japan have implemented strict blockades on my country in terms of high-performance carbon-based material technology. In order to break through key core technologies and innovative application needs, in 2021, carbon-based materials will be included in the development plan related to the raw material industry during the “14th Five-Year Plan”. At the same time, silicon carbide composite materials and carbon-based composite materials will be included in the development plan related to industrial scientific and technological innovation during the 14th Five-Year Plan. . Driven by policies, the preparation process level and product quality of carbon/carbon composite materials are expected to improve, and industrial development will be upgraded in the direction of high-end, modernization, and standardization.

According to the “2022-2026 Carbon/Carbon Composite Materials Industry In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions Report released by the Industrial Research Center , after years of development and accumulation, the scale of my country’s carbon/carbon composite materials industry continues to expand. At this stage, the main domestic carbon/carbon composite material manufacturers include Jinbo Co., Ltd., Shanghai Kangtan, Nanfang Boyun New Materials, and Shanghai Qijie Carbon , Carbon Valley New Materials, etc. Among them, Jinbo Co., Ltd. is a leading enterprise in my country’s carbon/carbon composite materials industry.

In 2021, my country’s carbon/carbon composite materials industry will show explosive growth. Many domestic companies will build and expand carbon/carbon composite materials projects, and there will also be many investment and financing events in the industry. Specifically, in 2021, Shanghai Qijie Carbon received tens of millions of yuan in first-round financing from Woyan Capital; Shanghai Kangan Carbon received multiple rounds of capital financing from Shenzhen Venture Capital and Jiuzhou Venture Capital; Chengdu Carbon’s first carbon/carbon composite The construction of the material production line has been completed and put into production; the second phase of the Carbon Valley New Materials expansion project has added a carbon/carbon composite material production capacity of 360 tons/year, etc.

Industry analysts said that relying on technology, quality, brand and first-mover advantages, European, American and Japanese companies dominate the global carbon/carbon composite materials market In contrast, my country’s carbon/carbon composite materials industry started relatively late, and there is considerable room for improvement in technology, scale, and quality. Carbon/carbon composite materials have excellent comprehensive properties and good market development prospects. As national policies continue to be favorable, my country’s carbon/carbon composite material market will gradually enter a period of explosive growth.
