This statistic displays the distribution of the global production capacity of carbon fiber by country in 2018. In that year, the carbon fiber production capacity in China accounted for 12 percent of global production capacity. Carbon fiber consists of extremely small fibers that are mostly derived from carbon atoms. The global demand is expected to increase along with its potential for reinforcing materials such as replacing aluminum in the aerospace sector.
