A molding material for injection molding, extrusion molding or pultrusion molding, which contains carbon fibers having a fiber length of 2 mm or more and a thermoplastic resin, wherein (1) the molding material is a solid having a plane A 1 and one or more other face B i , one or more cross sections of the carbon fibers are observed in at least one face B i , and the number of the cross sections of the carbon fibers per unit area observed in the face B i is twice or more the number of the cross sections of the carbon fibers per unit area observed in the plane A 1 , and (2) a ratio of fibers in which 50% or more of an outer peripheral surface of each carbon fiber is coated with the thermoplastic resin is from 80 to 100% to total carbon fibers.
