The expansion of aerospace manufacturing capabilities is expected to drive the growth of the aircraft tube and duct assemblies market going forward. Growth in aerospace manufacturing is fueled by rising demand for new aircraft, increased investments in research and development, and the adoption of more efficient production methods. Aircraft tube and duct assemblies play a critical role in aerospace operations by ensuring the secure and efficient flow of air, fluids, and gases within aircraft systems, thereby maintaining optimal performance and safety. For instance, in January 2024, according to Aircraft Interiors International, a UK-based media company, aircraft orders in 2023 rose sharply by 91% compared to 2022, driven by a 78% increase in single-aisle aircraft orders and a 169% surge in widebody aircraft orders. Additionally, new aircraft deliveries reached 1,265 units in 2023, marking an 11% increase from the previous year. Therefore, the expansion of aerospace manufacturing capabilities is driving the aircraft tube and duct assemblies market.

Leading companies in the aircraft tube and duct assemblies market are focusing on developing innovative products using advanced materials, such as 3D-printable substances, to enhance manufacturing efficiency, reduce costs, and enable the production of complex designs. 3D-printable materials include a variety of substances suitable for 3D printing processes - such as plastics, metals, ceramics, and composites - that can be precisely shaped layer by layer to form three-dimensional structures. For example, in February 2024, Eaton Corporation plc, a manufacturing company based in Ireland, introduced carbon-reinforced PEKK to replace aluminum in aircraft air ducts. This carbon-reinforced PEKK, a 3D-printable material, is engineered to replace aluminum while meeting essential requirements like ESD, flammability, and chemical resistance. This development facilitates flexible, tooling-free manufacturing of complex geometries.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs on aerospace-grade metals, composites, and precision manufacturing equipment have increased production costs for aircraft tube and duct assemblies, particularly impacting rigid and semi-rigid ducts in regions such as North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. These tariffs have slowed delivery schedules for OEMs and aftermarket services. Positively, tariffs encourage local sourcing and domestic production of critical components, leading to strengthened regional supply chains and potential long-term cost optimization for manufacturers.
