Carbon fiber accounted for the largest share of the overall non crimp fabric market, in terms of value.
In terms of value, carbon fiber dominated the global non crimp fabric market and expected to continue this trend over the upcoming years. Carbon fiber non-crimp fabrics provide superior mechanical properties, making them ideal for creating lightweight, high-performance composites. With the growing demand for fuel-efficient, high-strength components, the use of carbon fiber NCFs is expanding, supported by advancements in manufacturing technologies like automated fiber placement. Although the material costs remain high, the exceptional performance of carbon fiber, combined with improvements in production efficiency, continues to fuel its growth in the NCF market.
Automotive industry accounted for the second-largest share of the overall non crimp fabric market, in terms of value.
The automotive sector is fueling the rising demand for non-crimp fabrics (NCFs) due to their capability to create lightweight, durable, and fuel-efficient vehicles. NCFs offer exceptional mechanical properties, such as high strength and flexibility, making them perfect for critical components like body panels, bumpers, and chassis parts. For example, automakers like BMW and Audi have increasingly integrated NCF-based composites into their vehicle designs to reduce weight while maintaining performance and safety. As the automotive industry strives to meet stringent fuel efficiency and environmental standards, NCFs are becoming essential in producing high-performance composite materials that contribute to reducing overall vehicle weight.
Europe is the second largest region in the global non crimp fabric market in terms of value.
Non crimp fabric market in the European region benefits from a favorable regulatory landscape, with initiatives like the EU’s Green Deal promoting the use of sustainable materials. Such regulatory initiatives is accelerating the adoption of NCFs across multiple industries, particularly those prioritizing environmental responsibility and performance enhancement. NCFs are particularly advantageous in sectors such as automotive, aerospace, and wind energy, where efficiency and environmental sustainability are priorities. In the automotive sector, European manufacturers are progressively incorporating NCFs to create lightweight composite components, helping to meet rigorous fuel efficiency and emissions regulations. Aircraft manufacturing companies in the region are leveraging NCFs to produce strong yet lightweight parts that improve fuel efficiency and lower operational costs. Moreover, Europe’s focus on renewable energy is driving demand for NCFs in wind turbine blades, as these fabrics offer strength, durability, and reduced weight, enhancing energy production.
