The aerospace materials market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $22.6 billion in 2023 to $24.57 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%. The historical growth can be linked to robust economic expansion in emerging markets, heightened demand for air travel, and amplified military expenditures.
The aerospace materials market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $33.93 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The forecasted growth is driven by the upsurge in lightweight materials usage, growing governmental backing, expanded commercial aircraft deliveries, and swift urbanization. Key trends include innovations emphasizing structural film adhesives, advancements in materials for better strength and performance, integrating 3D printing into aerospace materials, investment in production capacities, and strategic collaborations among industry players to enhance product portfolios.
The aerospace materials market is anticipated to experience growth due to the rising adoption of lightweight materials. The emphasis on selecting appropriate aerospace materials for specific applications is crucial, considering the demanding conditions such as atmospheric forces, temperature extremes, and ultraviolet rays that aircraft materials must endure. In March 2023, Jamco Corporation, a Japanese company specializing in aircraft engines and parts, showcased its Venture Premium Class Seat. This sustainable seating option, designed to minimize operational costs for airlines, incorporates a high percentage of recycled materials, is lighter than traditional seats, easy to install, and requires reduced overall maintenance. The utilization of lightweight materials is expected to contribute significantly to the expansion of the aerospace materials market.
The aerospace materials market is poised for growth, driven by the increasing number of commercial aircraft deliveries. Commercial aircraft play a pivotal role in modern transportation systems, facilitating rapid and efficient global travel for both people and goods. These aircraft heavily rely on aerospace materials to ensure optimal performance, safety, fuel efficiency, and passenger comfort. In 2022, Airbus SE, a prominent French aircraft manufacturer, achieved a milestone by delivering 661 commercial aircraft to 84 customers and securing 1,078 gross new orders, reflecting an 8% increase from the previous year. The continuous rise in commercial aircraft deliveries is expected to be a key driver for the growth of the aerospace materials market.
An emerging trend in the aerospace materials market is the development of carbon fiber composites for manufacturing diverse aerospace structures and components. Carbon fiber, comprising carbon atoms arranged in long, thin crystals, can be shaped with epoxy into virtually any form. This characteristic allows for the creation of designs that are unattainable with metals, eliminating the need for extensive welding and mitigating potential weak points. Manufacturers in the aerospace materials sector are particularly focused on leveraging carbon fiber's lightweight, durable, corrosion-resistant, and temperature-resistant properties to produce structures for various aerospace applications. In August 2021, Markforged, a US-based additive manufacturing company, introduced Onyx FR-A and Carbon Fiber FR-A, utilizing fiber reinforcement technology. These materials, known for their lightweight nature, contribute to fuel efficiency, enhance engine performance, and find applications in different parts of aircraft interiors.
Prominent aerospace materials manufacturers are actively engaging in product innovations to diversify their product portfolios and boost revenues. A notable example is Park Aerospace Corp., a US-based company specializing in the development and production of advanced composite materials through solutions and hot-melt processes. In June 2023, the company launched Aeroadhere FAE-350-1 Structural Film Adhesive, a novel product designed for bonding aerospace primary and secondary structures. The adhesive, with a curing temperature of 350°F, utilizes epoxy formulation and is intended for bonding applications involving composite-to-composite, honeycomb-to-honeycomb, metal-to-metal, and metal-to-honeycomb connections. Notably, Aeroadhere FAE-350-1 exhibits robust toughness and high-temperature capabilities, making it suitable for deployment in maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) applications, as well as original equipment within the aerospace industry.
In November 2021, Collins Aerospace, a US-based aerospace manufacturer, acquired Dutch Thermoplastic Components B.V. to advance the use of innovative thermoplastics in aircraft construction. This acquisition aims to prioritize lighter aircraft structures for enhanced efficiency, reduced weight, improved fuel economy, and sustainable practices in product lifecycle management. Dutch Thermoplastic Components B.V., based in the Netherlands, specializes in manufacturing structural thermoplastic composite parts for aircraft.
