Executive Summary
According to the report titled 'Aerospace Materials Market by Type, Application, and Type of Aircraft: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2019-2026', the global aerospace materials market accounted for revenue of $3,950 million in 2018, and is anticipated to generate $6,518.5 million by 2026, registering a CAGR of 6.5% from 2019 to 2026.Aerospace materials comprise composites based on fiber-reinforced concrete; plastics such as PEEK, PMMA, and PPS; and metals such as steel and titanium. They offer enhanced properties such as high tensile strength, high temperature tolerance, and enhanced transparency. Thus, manufacturers are replacing conventional metals by enhanced materials such as advanced plastic composites and metals & alloys.
The growth of the global aerospace materials market is driven by increase in demand for lightweight and fuel-efficient aircrafts. In addition, rise in spending power and air passenger traffic leads to growth in fleet sizes. Moreover, introduction of new domestic and international routes acts as a major driver of the market. Furthermore, the key factor predicted to lead to the market growth is rise in fuel costs, thus making aircraft more efficient. However, complex designing of composites and plastics structures is hampering the aerospace materials market growth. In addition, implementation of stringent regulations on production of petro-based products and carbon fibers restricts the availability of high-grade materials, thereby hampering the growth of the global market. Conversely, the market offers tremendous opportunity owing to development of the commercial aviation sector in emerging economies.
