Carbon fiber has several advantages over competing materials, including lightweight, increased strength and stiffness, and exceptional fatigue and corrosion resistance. Carbon fiber penetration is steadily increasing due to its superior properties and external market factors. High demand for lightweight components in structural applications to improve fuel efficiency or reduce carbon emissions is the primary growth driver of increased demand for carbon fibers in major industries such as aerospace and defense and automotive.
● Aerospace & Defense is the Largest Growing End Use Industry Segment in the Market
According to the Composite 3D Printing Market end use industry segment, the aerospace and defense sector  registered the largest market share of 37.5% during the year 2022. The aerospace and defense industries were early adopters of composite materials for a variety of applications such as body components, engine components, interiors, and so on. As per Statistics Canada 2022, nearly $18.7 billion worth of aerospace products were exported by Canada. Composites have the distinct advantage of lowering aircraft payload while improving the physical properties of aircraft components. The use of 3D printing technology has increased the efficiency of production of these components, with high precision output and low waste. 
● Increasing adoption of 3D printing in the electronics industry.
Manufacturers in the electronics sector are utilizing composite 3D printing to fabricate components with enhanced functionalities, such as lightweight and durable casings, heat sinks with optimized designs, and intricate interconnects. Moreover, the additive nature of 3D printing allows for the integration of embedded sensors, conductive traces, and other specialized features directly into the printed components.
According to the Consumer Technology Association 2022, 5G technology has been incorporated into 73% of smartphones. This suggests that other technologies, like computers and televisions, will be upgraded to better support the estimated 1.5 million+ households with broadband 5G modems.
