At present, the performance of domestic T300-grade carbon fiber has reached the international level and has entered the industrialization stage; T700-grade carbon fiber has built a 10 million-ton production line, and low-cost dry-jet wet spinning T700-grade carbon fiber has achieved large-scale production; T800-grade carbon fiber was put into production for the first time in 2017 ; But carbon fiber above T800 is still in the small-scale test stage in China, and there is still a big gap in technology compared with Toray.
my country's carbon fiber import volume has grown rapidly and far exceeds its export volume. In 2017, the export volume was 3075.1 tons and the import volume was 142.13 tons. At the time when the country attaches importance to carbon fiber, the future carbon fiber market import substitution space is relatively large. Since 2014, the average export price of carbon fiber in my country has risen from US$1,3463.8/ton to US$28,630.55/ton in 2017, which is higher than the average import price for the second year in a row. To some extent, it can indicate that my country's carbon fiber development has achieved slight results in recent years and future development. The situation is good.
