For example, in January 2024, Airbus, a Netherlands-based aircraft manufacturer, reported that it delivered 735 commercial aircraft in 2023, representing an 11% increase compared to 2022. Thus, the rising demand for commercial aircraft is fueling the growth of the aerospace tapes market.

Increased investments in the aerospace industry are also expected to boost the aerospace tape market. Investments typically involve allocating resources, such as capital, time, or effort, into various aerospace-related activities, such as research and development, quality assurance, manufacturing of aerospace tapes, technological advancements, sustainability initiatives, market expansion, and safety compliance. In 2022, investments in the aerospace and defense sector reached new heights, with funding tripling compared to the previous year, reaching $33.63 billion, according to Pitch Book Data Inc., a US-based capital market company. This increased investment activity is driving the growth of the aerospace tape market.

Major companies in the aerospace tapes market are developing advanced products, such as flame-retardant adhesive tape, to improve safety, durability, and performance in high-temperature and fire-sensitive aerospace applications. For example, in April 2023, Tesa SE, a Germany-based manufacturer of adhesive products, launched the Tesla FlameXtinct 45020. This flame-retardant adhesive tape is specifically designed for bonding carpets in aircraft interiors. The product enhances aviation safety by complying with stringent fire protection regulations that are vital for reducing the risks associated with cabin fires. It is entirely halogen-free, in line with modern safety standards that aim to minimize toxic smoke production during fires. The differential adhesive system enables strong bonding with various carpet types and allows for repositionability during installation.

Companies in the aerospace tape market are emphasizing product innovations, specifically targeting MRO structural film adhesive to fulfill aerospace taping requirements. MRO structural film adhesive, short for Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) structural film adhesive, serves as an adhesive used for bonding aerospace primary and secondary structures during maintenance and repair operations. Park Aerospace Corp., a UK-based company in the aerospace industry, introduced the Aeroadhere FAE-350-1 structural film adhesive in May 2023. This epoxy formulation film adhesive is designed for various aerospace applications, including composite-to-composite, composite-to-honeycomb, composite-to-metal, metal-to-metal, and metal-to-honeycomb bonding in both aerospace original equipment and maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) applications.
