The aircraft engine blade market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $17.52 billion in 2025 to $18.84 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing adoption of precision-engineered blade airfoils to improve engine efficiency, early development of shrouds and platforms to enhance structural integrity of turbine assemblies, rising demand for durable trailing edges to withstand extreme thermal and mechanical loads, expansion of commercial aviation driving the need for high-performance engine components, increasing use of advanced alloys and casting techniques in turbine blade manufacturing.

The aircraft engine blade market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $24.92 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing demand for lightweight, high-temperature-resistant materials to improve fuel efficiency and engine performance, increasing adoption of additive manufacturing for complex blade geometries, rising aircraft production and fleet modernization requiring next-generation turbine blades, technological advancements enabling improved cooling designs for higher engine operating temperatures, expansion of maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) activities driving replacement of worn or life-limited engine blades. Major trends in the forecast period include growing use of advanced airfoil designs, rising demand for high-temperature-resistant blade materials, increased adoption of multi-stage compressor and turbine blades, expansion in precision casting and forging technologies, greater emphasis on lightweight composite blade development.

The rising adoption of cost-effective and fuel-efficient aircraft is expected to drive the growth of the aircraft engine blade market in the coming years. Cost-effective and fuel-efficient aircraft are designed to lower operating costs and enhance environmental sustainability, incorporating advanced technologies to improve fuel efficiency, reduce emissions, and minimize maintenance expenses. Aircraft engine blades used in these aircraft are engineered to provide high durability and performance. For example, in June 2023, the Boeing Company, a US-based aircraft manufacturer, projected a global demand for 42,595 new commercial aircraft, valued at US$8 trillion, by 2042, with airlines expected to replace roughly half of their current fleets with newer, more fuel-efficient models. Therefore, the surge in demand for cost-effective and fuel-efficient aircraft is driving the aircraft engine blade market.

Key companies in the aircraft engine blade market are focusing on innovative solutions such as advanced heat-resistant alloys to enhance engine performance and durability. Advanced heat-resistant alloys are specialized metal mixtures that retain strength and resist deformation at extremely high temperatures, enabling aircraft engines to operate efficiently under intense thermal stress, improve fuel efficiency, reduce maintenance requirements, and significantly increase overall performance and longevity. For instance, in February 2024, Rostec State Corporation, a Russia-based aerospace and defense firm, launched the PD-8 engine blades, developed for the SJ-100 regional jet. These blades are made from advanced heat-resistant alloys created in collaboration with the National Research Center "Kurchatov Institute" and VIAM, allowing them to withstand high mechanical and thermal loads. The alloys meet international standards for chemical stability, impurity levels, and mechanical properties, providing enhanced performance and durability without modifying existing production processes. This development represents a significant advancement in Russia’s aircraft engine technology and could be applied to future gas turbine engines.

In July 2025, Safran S.A., a France-based aerospace company, acquired Collins Aerospace’s flight control and actuation business from RTX Corporation for $1.8 billion. Through this acquisition, Safran aims to strengthen its position as a global leader in mission-critical flight control and actuation systems and enhance its capabilities for next-generation aircraft platforms. Collins Aerospace, based in the US, specializes in providing aircraft engine blades and advanced flight control technologies.
