Aerostructures encompass subsystems or components integral to an aircraft's airframe, comprising the entire fuselage, wings, and flight control surfaces. These components play a pivotal role in the design, development, and assembly of an airplane.
The main types of components within aerostructures include the fuselage, empennage, flight control surfaces, wings, nose, nacelle and pylon, doors, and skid. The fuselage, a long hollow tube, serves as the structural backbone holding all the elements of an airplane together. Materials employed in aerostructures include composites, alloys and superalloys, as well as various metals. These aerostructures find applications across different platforms, including fixed-wing aircraft, rotary-wing aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and advanced air mobility solutions. End-users encompass original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and aftermarket services.
The aerostructures market research report is one of a series of new reports that provides aerostructures market statistics, including aerostructures industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with an aerostructures market share, detailed aerostructures market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the aerostructures industry. This aerostructures market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The aerostructures market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $56.46 billion in 2023 to $61.31 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The growth observed in the historic period can be attributed to various factors, including an increased demand for commercial aircraft, growth in the defense sector, an aging aircraft fleet, a rise in space exploration activities, and increased demand for air cargo transport. These combined influences have played a significant role in shaping the positive trajectory witnessed during that time.
The aerostructures market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $83.95 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to various factors, including the emergence of new markets, ongoing airline fleet modernization efforts, adherence to regulatory standards, the globalization of markets, and an overall increase in air traffic and passengers. Key trends expected during this period encompass the implementation of digital twins and smart manufacturing, the integration of sensors and connectivity for enhanced functionality, the adoption of modular and scalable design approaches, a focus on sustainability and the use of eco-friendly materials, and advancements in 3D printing and additive manufacturing technologies. These trends reflect the dynamic landscape of the aerostructures industry and the ongoing efforts to leverage technological innovations for improved efficiency and sustainability.
The expansion in commercial aircraft production is set to drive the growth of the aerostructures market in the upcoming period. Commercial aircraft, typically used for transporting passengers and cargo between chosen airports, have seen a rapid rise in production. This acceleration is expected to amplify the utilization of aerostructures, which play a fundamental role in the assembly and production of aircraft. In 2021, Airbus SE, a Dutch-based manufacturer, delivered 611 commercial aircraft to 88 customers, marking a doubling of its gross order intake in comparison to the prior year with 771 new sales. Hence, the surge in commercial aircraft production is anticipated to increase the demand for the aerostructures market in the forecast period.
The surge in aircraft modernization programs is projected to steer the aerostructures market. Aircraft modernization involves upgrading and updating aircraft components, systems, and technology to boost overall performance, safety, efficiency, and capabilities. Aerostructures used in these programs are crucial to meet the program's objectives, whether it involves enhancing the aircraft's lifespan, boosting its performance, or improving its environmental impact. In June 2021, the US Air Force's B-52 Radar Modernization Program (RMP) supported both nuclear and conventional missions by updating or replacing APQ-166 radar Line Replaceable Units (LRU) aboard B-52H aircraft, completely or partially. Introducing modern technology aimed to improve the radar system's reliability and capabilities for new missions, resulting in a more effective and efficient radar system. Thus, the increasing aircraft modernization programs are steering the aerostructures market.
The growing adoption of 3D printing technology is a prominent trend shaping the aerostructures market. 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, significantly reduces production time, enhances product quality, and improves performance. This technology involves creating a three-dimensional object using computer-generated designs. The application of 3D printing in manufacturing aerostructures is expected to reduce material usage and waste generation, resulting in a more cost-effective manufacturing process. For example, Airbus SE, a French-based aerospace corporation operating in the aerostructures market, launched two Eurostar Neo spacecraft in February 2021. These spacecraft involved a total of 500 3D-manufactured radio frequency (RF) components, comprising multi-waveguide blocks and switch assembly networks.
Major companies in the aerostructures industry are embracing a strategic partnership approach to offer critical aerostructures services that aim to lower costs, foster innovation, and cater to the changing needs of the aviation market. Strategic partnerships involve companies leveraging each other's strengths and resources for mutual benefits. For example, in January 2023, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., a US-based provider of cutting-edge technology solutions, collaborated with Bharat Forge Limited, an India-based supplier of safety and critical components, to produce main landing gear components, subassemblies, and assemblies for remotely piloted aircraft.
In February 2022, Daher, a French company operating across aerospace, nuclear, defense, and automotive sectors, has entered an agreement to acquire Triumph Group, Inc.'s metallic aerostructures production and assembly business in the USA.
