We can’t ignore the changes happening on Earth, particularly in terms of the dilapidation of our infrastructures and the damage being done to them by extreme weather events, continual degradation, and just an inability to meet the demands of an updated world.

In trying to meet the demands of our continually approaching future, carbon fiber has quickly become a necessary component in so many industries, particularly in the new construction and the restoration of concrete structures and foundations. The popularity of carbon fiber is due to its exceptional strength (it’s five times stronger than steel) and ultra-lightweight, along with being corrosion and heat resistant, and resistant to ultraviolet light. As another benefit, carbon fiber is electrically conductive.

As all the benefits and versatility of carbon fiber are realized, it becomes an even more popular material. Because of that, manufacturers are seeking ways to lower the cost of producing carbon fiber to make it more economically accessible. Already the cost to manufacture carbon fiber has been reduced in the years since it became a marketable commodity, but further cost-effectiveness is necessary to secure it at the top of the list of construction materials.

Not all difficulties are with carbon fiber itself, but with myriad external concerns that impede the process of its production. Global markets change rapidly, and the pressures put on supply chains because of COVID-19 and the Great Resignation have slowed the movement of carbon fiber into the limelight. But slowly, those hiccups are currently being overcome.

The future of carbon fiber remains bright, simply because of what it is and what it can do, and also because of the numerous ways it can help humanity to better meet the challenges of climate change.
