About Carbon fiber
Carbon fiber is a material made of thin, crystalline, strong filaments of carbon with a diameter of 5 microns to 15 microns. Many parallel filaments are collectively grouped, and this is referred to as a carbon fiber tow. The term tow count mentions the number of filaments that are present per tow.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global carbon fiber market to grow at a CAGR of 9.16% during the period 2016-2020.
