From a product-type perspective, small-tow carbon fiber remains the core segment of the global PAN-based carbon fiber market and is expected to maintain its dominant position for an extended period. In 2024, small tow accounts for approximately 77.63% of the market, reflecting its strong demand in high-performance applications such as aerospace, advanced equipment, wind turbine main beams, and high-pressure vessels. Looking ahead to 2031, the share of small tow is projected to remain at a high level, supported by the continuous expansion of downstream applications requiring high strength, high modulus, and high reliability composite materials.
In contrast, large tow is primarily used in cost-sensitive applications—such as construction reinforcement, automotive composites, and sporting goods—resulting in more limited growth potential for its market share.

In terms of application structure, the aerospace and defense sector remains the most critical and dominant source of demand for PAN-based carbon fiber, accounting for approximately 49.0% of total consumption in 2024. This clearly reflects the sector’s sustained and robust need for high-strength, high-modulus, and high-reliability carbon fiber materials. Although wind turbine blades, sporting goods, pressure vessels, automotive components, and electronics cover a broad range of applications, their individual demand volumes are significantly lower than that of aerospace. These segments represent medium-scale markets characterized by steady growth and mature application patterns. Meanwhile, construction, carbon–carbon composites, and other niche uses are primarily driven by cost-sensitive demand and therefore hold relatively limited market shares.
Looking toward 2031, as global high-end equipment manufacturing continues to accelerate, the aerospace and defense sector is expected to maintain its leading position. However, the shares of wind power, pressure vessels, and automotive lightweighting applications will further increase, gradually driving the overall application structure toward a more balanced distribution.
The report provides a detailed analysis of the market size, growth potential, and key trends for each segment. Through detailed analysis, industry players can identify profit opportunities, develop strategies for specific customer segments, and allocate resources effectively.
