A surge in global demand across defense and aerospace sectors—including military weapons, unmanned systems, commercial aircraft, and low-Earth orbit satellites—is fueling rapid growth and pushing material requirements to new heights. Among the key beneficiaries: carbon fiber composites, prized for their high strength and lightweight properties. As performance and fuel efficiency become critical differentiators, carbon fiber has emerged as a strategic material, opening the door for suppliers to move upmarket into advanced global supply chains.
