10月碳纤维进出口数据公布：行业迈入结构性调整阶段

Core Viewpoint - The carbon fiber industry is undergoing a structural adjustment phase, with a focus on high-performance products and technological upgrades, driven by demand from wind power and aerospace markets. The overall market remains stable, but prices have decreased compared to the previous year, indicating ongoing challenges in profitability [4][5]. Market Overview - In October 2025, the average price of mainstream carbon fiber products was 83.75 yuan per kilogram, a decrease of 7.58% from the average price of 90.1 yuan per kilogram in the previous year [4]. - Carbon fiber imports in October 2025 reached 1,535.90 tons, an increase of 8.99% year-on-year, with an average import price of 15.35 USD per kilogram. Japan accounted for the highest import share at 40.02% [4]. - Cumulative imports from January to October 2025 totaled 15,504.65 tons, while exports in October amounted to 93.268 tons, primarily to Italy and Russia [4]. Industry Dynamics - The carbon fiber industry is experiencing a shift towards structural adjustments after two years of supply-demand imbalance and price declines. The industrialization of high-strength, high-modulus, and large-tow carbon fibers is accelerating [5]. - Key developments include the initiation of a 30,000-ton large-tow carbon fiber project by Shanghai Petrochemical, a 5,000-ton high-performance carbon fiber production line by Jinggong Technology, and additional investments in high-performance carbon fiber production bases by Jiangsu Hengshen [5]. - The industry is moving from "quantitative expansion" to "qualitative improvement," with leading companies focusing on high-performance products [5]. Collaborative Trends - The carbon fiber supply chain is increasingly collaborating with downstream applications. Notable partnerships include Yongcheng New Materials with the Zhejiang Aircraft Composite Materials Technology Innovation Center and Zhongfu Shenying with Jinbo Co. to optimize costs and promote high-performance carbon-ceramic brake discs [6]. - Companies are also exploring new applications in emerging fields such as low-altitude economy and humanoid robots, while maintaining a focus on traditional sectors like aerospace and energy equipment [6]. - The industry is urged to avoid the expansion of low-end capacities and to pursue high-end, high-performance, and sustainable development paths [6].
