Market Overview:
The global rigid graphite felt market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for rigid graphite felt from various applications, such as high temperature vacuum furnaces, inert gas furnaces, polysilicon and monocrystalline silicon protection furnaces, and others. Additionally, the growing demand for rigid graphite felt from Asia Pacific is also contributing to the growth of this market.
Product Definition:
Rigid graphite felt is a material made from felted sheets of graphite. It is used as a gasketing and thermal insulation material.
Plate Type Hard Felt:
Plate type hard felt is a special category of felt, which possesses properties such as high tensile strength and abrasion resistance. It is manufactured by the bonding of fibers together through the use of chemicals or heat. The product has applications in various industries including oil & gas, chemical processing, mining & metal working and construction among others.
The global plate type hard felt market size was valued at USD 856 million in 2016.
Cylinder Felt:
Cylinder Felt is a type of felt board that consists of fibers which are wound in a cylinder-like shape. It is available in different densities and grades depending upon the end use application. The density can be changed by altering the amount of fiber used for manufacturing the product. Cylinder Felt has applications in various industries such as chemical, oil & gas, power generation, mining & minerals and construction among others.
Application Insights:
In terms of revenue, the inert gas furnace application segment dominated the global rigid graphite felt market in 2017. The growth can be attributed to rising demand for steel from various industries such as construction and automotive. In addition, increasing use of inert gas as a protective medium for silicon and poly-metallic compounds is also expected to drive the segment over the forecast period.
The high temperature vacuum furnace application segment is projected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to its rising use in industrial processes such as melting and casting of iron and steel products. It has excellent properties that make it suitable for melting iron & steel products at high temperatures while maintaining their quality characteristics including ductility, malleability & hardness etc., which are essential for efficient production processes worldwide.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific rigid graphite felt market is expected to grow at the highest CAGR of XX% from 2018 to 2030 owing to increasing demand for industrialization and rapid urbanization in the region. The Asia Pacific held a revenue share of over 40% in 2017, which is attributed to high production volume and low product cost as compared to other regions.
The growth can also be attributed largely, but not exclusively, due to China’s Belt & Road Initiative (BRI) that aims at developing trade routes connecting China with Central Asian countries through the Middle East & Africa and Europe by land and sea Silk Road corridors thus creating business opportunities for manufacturers across various industries including rigid graphite felt industry.
North America was estimated as one of the largest regional markets in 2017 owing both volumes (plate type hardfelt) and revenue shares (%) on account plate type hardfelt).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from end-use industries such as automotive, aerospace, and defense
- Growing popularity of rigid graphite felt in high-temperature and corrosive environments
- Rising investments in research and development for innovative applications of rigid graphite felt
- Technological advancements in manufacturing processes for rigid graphite felt products
- Growing awareness about the benefits of using rigid graphite felt among consumers
