Industry Overview
Carbon fiber fabrics, known for their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, durability, and corrosion resistance, are high-performance materials serving diverse industries. Key classifications include PAN-, Rayon-, or Pitch-based fabrics; fabrics with fiber counts from 1K to 24K+; and manufacturing styles such as woven, knitted, braided, unidirectional (prepreg), and non-woven. Kingoda’s advanced production facility combines automated weaving technology with precision manual techniques to deliver both high-volume and complex, specialized fabric constructions tailored to stringent application demands.
Supply Chain
The carbon fiber fabric supply chain spans:
Upstream: Raw materials, including carbon fiber, resin matrices, and auxiliary/enhancement materials.
Midstream: Fabric manufacturing.
Downstream: Applications in aerospace, automotive, sporting goods, industrial equipment, construction, and firefighting.
Market Dynamics
Supported by expanding applications and strong downstream demand—particularly from aerospace (a market reaching ¥1.47 trillion in 2024) and automotive sectors—the Chinese carbon fiber fabric market continues to grow steadily. By 2024, the industry’s market size reached approximately ¥7.713 billion, reflecting sustained expansion. This growth is reinforced by a robust upstream carbon fiber market, which grew from ¥4.76 billion in 2018 to ¥17.14 billion in 2024.
Competitive Landscape
The market features leading international players like Toray, Hexcel, and SGL alongside prominent Chinese manufacturers. Companies such as Guangwei Composites and Zhongfu Shenying have demonstrated significant growth, with their relevant business revenues reaching ¥1.452 billion and ¥1.543 billion, respectively, in 2024.
