Carbon fibers (CF) are made up of almost 90% or more of carbon. Each carbon fiber filament has a diameter of 5-15 micron. Numerous parallel filaments are naturally and collectively grouped, and this is referred to as a carbon fiber tow. The term tow count indicates the number of filaments that are present per tow and is frequently expressed with nomenclature like 24K where the letter K denotes the number 1,000. Growing focus on achieving economies of scale in the production of carbon fiberreinforced composites will drive the market's growth. However, the growth will be restricted by challenges such as the high cost of these products.
