Global Carbon Prepreg Market Overview:
The carbon prepreg market refers to the industry that produces and sells carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) prepreg materials. Prepreg is a composite material made by impregnating reinforcing fibers with a thermosetting resin matrix, such as epoxy or phenolic, which is then cured at high temperatures and pressures to form a rigid, strong, and lightweight material. Carbon prepreg, in particular, is made by using carbon fibers as the reinforcing material, which gives the resulting composite material exceptional strength, stiffness, and resistance to fatigue. Carbon prepreg is commonly used in aerospace, automotive, sporting goods, and other high-performance applications where weight savings, strength, and durability are critical. The manufacturing process for carbon prepreg involves several stages, including fiber selection and preparation, impregnation with the resin matrix, and curing. The resulting material is then cut into sheets or rolls of various sizes and thicknesses, which can be further processed into finished products or components. The carbon prepreg market is expected to grow in the coming years, driven by the increasing demand for lightweight, high-performance materials in various industries. However, the high cost of carbon fibers and the complex manufacturing process of prepreg materials remain significant challenges for the industry.

Latest Market Insights:
In January 2020, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation announced that it will acquire a German Carbon Fiber Prepreg Manufacturer, through its subsidiary, Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Material in a move to strengthen its presence in the carbon fiber composite material business. By this acquisition, MCC will have prepreg plants in Europe, the USA, and Japan.
In December 2019, Solvay and SGL Carbon entered into a joint development agreement (JDA) to bring to market the first composite materials based on large-tow intermediate modulus (IM) carbon fiber. By combining SGL’s carbon fiber expertise in newly developed, unique 50K IM fiber with Solvay’s resin formulation and aerospace market expertise, both partners are aiming to develop an advanced aerospace material system.
