Opportunity: Reduction of cost of carbon fibers is an excellent opportunity in the aerospace composites market
The main raw materials used for the production of carbon fiber composites are polymeric resins and carbon fibers. The cost of carbon fibers is directly proportional to the cost of precursor raw materials from which they are obtained. Carbon fibers are currently obtained from polyacrylonitrile (PAN), whose cost in aerospace applications is approximately USD 90 per kilogram. The development of low-cost and high-yield precursors for making aerospace grade carbon fibers would significantly reduce the cost of carbon fibers. These low-cost precursors for carbon fibers would bring down the cost of aerospace-grade carbon fibers. The reduction in the cost of carbon fibers would reduce the cost of carbon fiber aerospace composites, thereby driving the market.
