The high-strength, modulus, and light-weight characteristics of carbon fiber have led to rising demand from the sporting goods manufacturing industry. Sporting goods such as golf shafts, racquets, skis, snowboards, hockey sticks, fishing rods, bats, and bicycles are manufactured using carbon fiber. Carbon fiber provides design flexibility to achieve precise shape of sporting equipment, which is critical to its performance. Carbon fiber helps to enhance the performance of bikers and golfers. The most specific use of carbon fiber in the sporting equipment is seen in the tennis racket. Players can hit faster ball with the lighter racket and control the ball better with a larger area of the racket. The increasing demand for carbon fiber-based sporting equipment provides a lucrative market opportunity for key and new market players. Many sports goods manufacturers in developed and developing countries are using carbon fiber. Thus, the increasing adoption of carbon fiber by the manufacturers of sporting goods across developed and developing countries provides lucrative growth opportunities for the carbon fiber market over the forecast period.
