Market Overview:
The global soft graphite felt market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for soft graphite felt in high temperature vacuum furnaces, inert gas furnaces, redox flow batteries, and other applications. In terms of type, the pan-based soft graphite felt segment is expected to lead the global market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to its properties such as good thermal conductivity and low electrical resistivity. In terms of application, the high temperature vacuum furnace segment is projected to lead the global market during the forecast period owing to its growing demand from various end-use industries such as automotive and aerospace.
Product Definition:
It is a type of felt that is made from graphite fibers. It has a high degree of thermal resistance and can be used in applications where temperatures exceed 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
Pan-Based Soft Graphite Felt:
Pan-based soft graphite felt is a type of synthetic textile material made from carbon and hydrogen. It has the appearance of natural graphite felt, which makes it suitable for use in clothing. Pan-based soft graphite felt is manufactured by using non-crystalline carbon in an amorphous form that is heated to about 400°C for making fibers; these are then spun into yarns and knitted or woven fabrics.
Rayon-Based Soft Graphite Felt:
Rayon-based soft graphite felt is a type of felt which is made from rayon and has small pieces of graphite in it. It provides high tensile strength, abrasion resistance, and low density making it suitable for use in protective clothing such as safety clothing or medical examination gloves. The product also finds application as an underlayer for uniformity across the surface of various products including table tennis boards and sports shoes among others.
Application Insights:
High temperature vacuum furnace was the largest application segment in 2017 and is projected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. It has excellent properties, such as high thermal conductivity, high electrical resistivity, low expansion rate and good mechanical strength. These characteristics make it suitable for use in various industries including steel manufacturing and aerospace where a high degree of purity is required.
Inert gas furnace also accounted for a significant market share owing to increasing demand from various end-use industries including automotive, electronics and construction among others which require inert materials for their processes or products. Soft graphite felt offers superior advantages over other mineral wool insulations such as better mechanical strength at lower temperatures along with better heat transfer properties when compared with glass fiber insulation materials used previously in this industry space.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region is home to several emerging economies, such as China, India, Indonesia and Vietnam. Rapid industrialization coupled with increasing per capita income in these countries has resulted in strong demand for energy-efficient products across various end-use industries. This trend is projected to propel industry growth over the coming years.
North America accounted for a significant share of global soft graphite felt consumption on account of high product utilization across major end-use industries including aerospace & defense, automotive & transportation equipment manufacturing and electric machinery manufacturing. In addition, rising R&D activities related to advanced battery technologies are likely to augment market growth over the next eight years or so.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from end-use industries such as automotive, aerospace, and defense
- Growing popularity of soft graphite felt in various applications
- Rising investments by key players in research and development activities
- Technological advancements in the production of soft graphite felt
- Growing awareness about the benefits of using soft graphite felt
