Aerospace Foams Market Report 2026

The aerospace foams market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.85 billion in 2025 to $6.33 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of commercial aircraft fleets, growth in air passenger traffic, adoption of lightweight aerospace materials, increasing defense aircraft procurement, advancements in aircraft interior design.

The aerospace foams market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.56 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing production of next-generation aircraft, rising demand for sustainable aviation materials, expansion of urban air mobility platforms, increasing refurbishment of aircraft interiors, advancements in foam manufacturing technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing use of lightweight cabin materials, rising adoption of fire-resistant and high-performance foams, growing demand for fuel-efficient aircraft components, expansion of advanced interior comfort solutions, enhanced focus on noise and vibration reduction.

The rising number of air passengers worldwide is anticipated to drive the growth of the aerospace foams market in the future. Air passengers refer to individuals traveling by air, usually on commercial airlines or private aircraft. This surge in air travel increases the demand for aerospace foams, which are essential for improving passenger comfort, enhancing fuel efficiency, reducing noise, ensuring safety, and meeting regulatory requirements. For example, in September 2024, Eurostat, the Luxembourg-based Directorate-General of the European Commission, reported that in 2023, the EU carried 976 million air passengers, marking a 19% increase from 2022. Thus, the growing number of air passengers globally is a key factor propelling the aerospace foams market.

Leading companies in the aerospace foams market are developing advanced products, such as engine cleaning systems, to improve performance, lower maintenance costs, and enhance overall efficiency in aerospace applications. Engine cleaning systems are specialized tools or technologies designed to eliminate dirt, carbon deposits, and other contaminants from both the internal and external parts of an engine. For example, in September 2024, GE Aerospace, a U.S.-based aerospace company, introduced the 360 Foam Wash. This innovative engine cleaning system aims to boost fuel efficiency and decrease maintenance costs. The 360 Foam Wash replaces traditional water washing with a proprietary foam detergent that delivers a more thorough clean for jet engines. This foam effectively removes dirt and debris from engine components, thereby enhancing overall performance.

In June 2023, Trelleborg, a Sweden-based company that offers engineered polymer solutions, acquired 4M Company Inc. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Trelleborg intends to address the growing demand for aerospace seals and broaden its product range, including the introduction of conductive seals. 4M Company Inc. is a U.S.-based manufacturer that specializes in aerospace sealing solutions, which encompass aerospace foams.
