Carbon and Graphite Felt Market Overview
The global market for carbon and graphite felt is expected to experience significant growth, over the study period driven by increased demand from furnaces, filters, batteries, and other high-temperature applications. These felts find extensive use in high-temperature furnaces and batteries. The global market growth for carbon and graphite felt in high-performance batteries is attributed to the requirement for materials with high conductivity, extended lifespans, good electrochemical stability, and lower fire risk.
- For instance, In October 2023, Toray Industries Inc. declared today that it has chosen to increase the production of normal tow* medium- and high-modulus carbon fibers at its French subsidiary Toray Carbon Fibers Europe S.A. With this change, the Abidos factory in South-West France will have an annual capacity of 6,000 metric tons instead of 5,000 metric tons. 2025 is when production is anticipated to begin.
Moreover, the increased effectiveness of carbon fiber in high-temperature environments has significantly contributed to carbon and graphite felt market expansion. Additionally, the growing demand for high-performance batteries is a crucial factor driving the carbon and graphite felt market growth from 2024 to 2032. Moreover, the extensive use of carbon and graphite felts in high-performance batteries, thanks to their wide operational range, exceptional thermal insulation, chemical stability, and lightweight properties, is further propelling the market forward.

Carbon and Graphite Felt Market Dynamics
Market Drivers
Enhanced performance of carbon fiber in a range of high-temperature applications.
Carbon fiber is renowned for its exceptional qualities, including high strength, flexibility, lightweight nature, and superior corrosion resistance. These attributes make carbon fiber a preferred material for manufacturing carbon and graphite felts. Carbon fiber exhibits enhanced performance in high-temperature environments, making it a versatile choice. Unlike carbon fiber, other materials like glass fiber and ceramic fiber, which are also used for heat insulation, cannot match its performance. As a result, felts made from carbon fiber are utilized in applications requiring high insulation properties.
Market Restraints
The production cost of carbon and graphite felts is high.
Carbon and graphite felt are made from carbon fiber because of their exceptional properties, including enhanced corrosion resistance, lightweight nature, and high strength. Producing these materials requires advanced machinery and extensive technical expertise. The manufacturing process involves several steps such as carbonizing, graphitizing, pressing, curing, and others, which are mostly costly, leading to a high production cost for carbon and graphite felt.

Carbon and Graphite Felt Market Segmental Analysis
By Raw Material Type Analysis
- The PAN segment is projected to grow at a CAGR over the forecast period, mainly driven by its outstanding mechanical qualities, including a high modulus and tensile strength, which make them perfect for uses requiring durability and strength for the next five years. PAN-based carbon and graphite felt show a high carbon yield during the carbonization process, indicating that a greater proportion of the precursor is changed into carbon. This makes it a more economical option because it increases production efficiency and decreases waste.
By Product Type Analysis
- The soft felt segment accounted for the largest market share in 2023 and is likely to retain its position throughout the carbon and graphite felt market forecast period. The ease of processing carbon and graphite felts makes them highly convenient for both manufacturers and end users. This characteristic enables customization to meet specific needs while minimizing waste. These felts, being soft, can be easily cut, shaped, and molded into various forms as required. This flexibility in processing adds to their appeal, as it allows for precise tailoring to fit specific dimensions and applications, reducing the amount of material wasted during fabrication.
By Application Analysis
- Based on application analysis, the market has been segmented on the basis of batteries, filters, and furnaces. The furnace segment held a significant market share in revenue share in 2023. Felt made of carbon and graphite is widely utilized in many different applications, including nuclear reactors, batteries, furnaces, filters, and semiconductors. The majority of applications for these felts are in furnaces, mostly for insulation. However, as more renewable energy installations are added in emerging nations like China, India, and Brazil, there is currently a growing need for these felt items in the batteries sector.
