The carbon & graphite felt market is projected to grow from USD 491 million in 2023 to USD 770 million by 2028, at a CAGR of 9.4% during the forecast period. Rayon-based carbon & graphite felt has extremely low values of thermal conductivity and better insulating characteristics than PAN-based felt materials, especially at a higher temperature. However, rayon-based felt is difficult to process and more costly than PAN-based felt materials. Rayon-based felt offers various advantages such as high-temperature resistance, good specific heat capacity, high purity, corrosion resistance, low flash, no oil stain, low weight, and flexibility.

’’In terms of value, rigid carbon & graphite felt segment accounted for the second largest share of the overall carbon & graphite felt market.’’
Based on product type rigid carbon & graphite felt segment accounted for the second largest share of the overall carbon & graphite felty market. Rigid felt is made by carbonizing and graphitizing carbon fiber. This felt is thermal shock resistant, erosion resistant, and remains stable and in shape during its operating life.

“’’In terms of value, graphite felt type segment accounted for the second largest share of the overall carbon & graphite felt market’’
Based on type, graphite felt segment accounted for the second largest share of the overall carbon & graphite felt market. Graphite felt is produced from the pure form of carbon, i.e., graphite fiber. Hence, It contains a high carbon percentage and has high purity. This felt is more stable than carbon felt and hence is used for high-temperature applications. Graphite felt can be purified to less than 20 ppm of ash and other particles. It is softer than carbon felt, making it suitable for use in filters and batteries application.

“During the forecast period, the carbon & graphite felt market in Europe region is projected to register the second highest share.”
The carbon & graphite felt market has been studied in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa and Latin America.
