INTRODUCTION
STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The overall goal of this study is to provide a comprehensive understanding of
advances in structural carbon materials manufacturing, their commercial
applications, and worldwide markets. For the purposes of this report, these
materials are defined to include all types of carbon fibers, carbon foams,
monolithic structural graphite, carbon-reinforced carbon composites, and
certain graphene materials.
Specific objectives of the study include describing the major types of
structural carbon materials, including key physical and chemical properties,
raw materials, and manufacturing processes. Commercial applications in
which these materials are used will be discussed.
Present consumption and future demand for these materials will be
evaluated for the United States and other major geographical markets.

2. Trends in technology will be analyzed and forecasted. The impact of
governmental regulations will be assessed. The dynamics of the structural
carbons industry will be outlined along with profiles of key manufacturers.
REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY
This study is an update of an earlier BCC report that was published in 2009.
The structural carbon materials industry and markets have continued to
develop in the two and a half years since the previous edition was published.
The structural carbon materials industry serves mature markets such as
defense and aerospace, with a wide variety of products satisfying the
requirements of well-established applications. However, continuous technical
innovations and efforts to make structural carbon technologies available for
new applications (at affordable prices) are leading to the development of
new markets.
Corporations in the structural carbons industry need understand the
significance of these trends to manage their enterprise and resources
effectively. Users of structural carbons must also understand the effect of
these changes in order to select the most cost-effective option among newly
available products and technologies prior to committing significant capital
resources.

INTENDED AUDIENCE
Over the next half-decade significant change will take place in global
structural carbon products and applications. Technological advances in
improving structure-property relationships of advanced carbon materials and
breakthroughs in the manufacturing processes—resulting in lower costs—will
lead to novel applications. This study analyzes the driving forces that will
shape the structural carbons industry over next few years.
Consequently, the information presented in this study should be useful to:
Members of the financial community who must understand, assess, and rate
the effect of forthcoming changes in the structural carbons industry based
upon the financial performance of the companies active in this market
segment Chief executive officers who must effectively manage the assets of
their company so as to benefit from forthcoming changes in the structural
carbons industry Directors of planning who must incorporate anticipated

3. changes in the structural carbons industry into corporate planning
documents Directors of manufacturing who must implement new structural
carbons technology and products into their operations Directors of
engineering, research, and development who must incorporate the latest in
structural carbons technology and products into their designs and projects
Decision makers at major structural carbons consumers, such as the
Department of Defense contractors involved in aerospace and aircraft
manufacturing Executives at companies engaged in developing competitive
materials and technologies such as other reinforcement fibers like Kevlar or
composites manufactured with other matrix materials such as ceramics or
metal.
