Based on the analysis by Fact.MR, the global polyacrylonitrile fiber market is estimated to be valued at US$ 4.8 billion in 2023 and it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% to reach US$ 8.3 billion by the end of 2033.

Market Overview

The global polyacrylonitrile fiber market is valued at approximately USD 4.8 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.6%, reaching USD 8.3 billion by 2033. Polyacrylonitrile fiber (PAN) is a synthetic polymer used in various applications, such as a precursor for carbon fiber, filtration mediums, and protective clothing. Its high strength, chemical resistance, and heat tolerance make it highly valued across multiple industries.

Key Players

Some of the prominent companies in the polyacrylonitrile fiber market include Jiangsu ZhongXin Group, Jilin Chemical Fiber Group Co., Jilin Tangu Carbon Fiber Co., Ltd., Montefibre Carbon, SGL Carbon, Shenzhen Xiangu High-Tech. Co., Ltd., and Taekwang Industrial Co. Ltd. These companies are expanding their production capacities to meet growing demand and are also focusing on innovation to improve the performance of PAN fibers.

Future Opportunities

The growing demand for carbon fiber, especially in sectors like aerospace, automotive, and wind energy, is a major driver for the polyacrylonitrile fiber market. In China, for example, increased demand for carbon fiber in wind energy and infrastructure projects is leading companies to boost their production capacities. Long-term growth is expected from continued investments in research and development, as manufacturers strive to improve the cost-effectiveness and performance of PAN fibers.

Market Analysis

The report categorizes the market by type (tows and staple fibers) and production technology (wet and dry spinning). Wet spinning is the preferred technology due to its ability to produce PAN fibers with stronger mechanical properties. In terms of applications, the carbon fiber production segment holds the largest market share. The demand for PAN fibers is closely tied to the carbon fiber market, as PAN is the primary precursor used in carbon fiber production.

Latest Industry News

Recent developments highlight increased production capacity, especially in China and the U.S., where demand for PAN fibers in carbon fiber applications is on the rise. Notable activities include expansions by Sinopec in China, aimed at increasing production to support the country’s wind energy sector. In the U.S., high sales in the aerospace industry are driving demand for carbon fiber, which in turn supports the PAN fiber market.
