January 25, 2026 - Recent years have witnessed remarkable achievements in China's fiber materials industry. Among the three categories of natural fibers, synthetic fibers and inorganic fibers, four high-performance materials - carbon fiber, para-aramid fiber (PPTA), ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber (UHMWPE) and basalt fiber (BF) - have stood out, driving the continuous expansion of application scenarios with their excellent properties.
Known as the "king of lightweight materials", carbon fiber has a density less than 1/4 of steel but a strength 5-7 times that of steel, and its composite materials achieve significant weight reduction. Para-aramid fiber, with a strength 5-6 times that of steel wire, boasts high temperature resistance and acid-alkali resistance, finding wide applications in aerospace, military protection and other fields. UHMWPE fiber, currently the fiber with the highest specific strength and specific modulus in the world, is mass-produced only in 4 countries globally, with China as the largest consumer market. Domestic demand in China is expected to reach 55,400 tons by 2028. Hailed as the "green industrial material of the 21st century", basalt fiber is degradable and pollution-free. China has reached the international leading level in its production process and product development.
With their unique advantages, these fiber materials are empowering the upgrading of multiple industries, presenting broad prospects for industrial development.
