11:00-11:30 ET

Title: Global Carbon Fiber Supply and Demand

Presenter: Myriam Yagoubi, manager at Future Materials Group

Abstract: The carbon fiber market has experienced remarkable over the past two decades, which has spurred new entrants and increased average production capacity. In this insightful industry overview, Myriam Yagoubi, manager at Future Materials Group (Cambridge, U.K.), will offer a summary of current carbon fiber supply and demand, as well as a look forward at what to expect from the carbon fiber supply chain through 2030. Yagoubi’s presentation will include an assessment of Chinese carbon fiber manufacturing capacity, analysis of carbon fiber use in wind turbine blades, the potential impact on the carbon fiber supply chain of a new single-aisle aircraft from Boeing or Airbus, and the prospect for carbon fiber supply imbalance in the coming years.

11:30-12:00 ET

Title: Outlook for Composite Aerostructures Manufacturing

Presenter: Collin Heller, VP at Counterpoint Market Intelligence

Abstract: The aerospace sector continues to grapple with post-pandemic recovery and production challenges, affecting Tier 1 suppliers serving industry OEMS. While next-generation single-aisle (NGSA) aircraft programs hold immense potential for composite manufacturers, the timing for these programs remains unclear. In an insightful look at the state of aerospace manufacturing, Collin Heller, VP at Counterpoint Market Intelligence (Cambridge, U.K.), will evaluate the status quo of composites use in aerostructures manufacturing, including commercial and defense applications. Heller will also assess the timing and potential impact of development of a new single-aisle aircraft to replace the Boeing 737 and/or the Airbus A320. He will also summarize ongoing evolution in airframe manufacturing away from Tiers and toward OEMs.

12:00-12:30 ET — Moderated Q&A
