Aerospace Adhesives and Sealants Market Report 2026

The aerospace adhesives and sealants market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.87 billion in 2025 to $2.04 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of commercial aircraft production, growth of military aviation programs, increasing use of composites in aircraft, rising demand for fuel efficiency, availability of high-performance resin technologies.

The aerospace adhesives and sealants market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.86 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing aircraft fleet modernization, rising adoption of next-generation aircraft materials, expansion of space and defense programs, growing focus on sustainable aviation solutions, increasing investments in advanced bonding technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing use of lightweight bonding solutions, rising adoption of advanced structural adhesives, growing demand for high-temperature resistant sealants, expansion of composite aircraft manufacturing, enhanced focus on corrosion protection.

The rising interest in air travel is expected to propel the aerospace adhesives and sealants market going forward. Air travel refers to the transportation in the sky by which people and goods are moved using airplanes, drones, and similar vehicles. Adhesives are used in the manufacturing of aircraft and spacecraft, including the creation of conductive circuits, wings, door moldings, interior trims, seats, and other components. Sealants are applied in fuel tank sealing, cabin pressurization, electrical encapsulation, windshields, access door sealing, and form-in-place gasketing. For instance, in June 2024, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), a Canada-based global trade association for the airline industry, global air travel demand rose 10.4% in 2024 compared to 2023. Therefore, the rising interest in air travel is driving the growth of the aerospace adhesives and sealants market.

Major companies in the aerospace adhesives and sealants market are advancing innovative technologies, such as automated fiber placement (AFP), to improve fuel efficiency. Automated fiber placement is a manufacturing technology that uses automated systems to accurately lay down continuous fiber materials, allowing for efficient creation of composite structures with intricate shapes. For instance, in July 2023, Park Aerospace Corp., a US-based manufacturing company, launched the Aeroadhere FAE-350-1, a structural film adhesive designed for primary and secondary structure bonding in aerospace. Applications such as composite-to-composite, composite-to-honeycomb, composite-to-metal, metal-to-metal, and metal-to-honeycomb bonding can all benefit from this 350°F curing epoxy formulation. It is ideal for aircraft original equipment and maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) applications due to its toughness and high-temperature characteristics.

In August 2025, Bron Aerotech (through its parent Bron Tapes Holding), a US-based aerospace materials supplier, acquired National Sealants and Lubricants, Inc., for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Bron Aerotech aims to broaden its offerings by integrating NSL Aerospace’s specialized liquid adhesive and sealant packaging and distribution capabilities into its existing portfolio of engineered films, foils, fabrics, space foams, and tapes. National Sealants and Lubricants, Inc. is a US-based company specializing in aerospace adhesives, sealants, and related distribution services.
