The aviation grade titanium sponge market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.39 billion in 2024 to $1.52 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the increasing production of military and commercial aircraft, rising global defense budgets, growing demand for fuel-efficient and high-performance aircraft, wider adoption of titanium alloys in aerospace applications, and increased investments in aerospace infrastructure as well as research and development.
The aviation grade titanium sponge market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.09 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth projected for the forecast period can be attributed to increasing air travel and fleet expansion worldwide, growing replacement of aging aircraft fleets, a stronger focus on aircraft structural optimization and weight reduction, rising demand for titanium in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and space exploration, and an emphasis on domestic production and value chain localization. Key trends during this period include advancements in additive manufacturing, progress in metallurgical engineering, integration of titanium materials with composite technologies, adoption of automated sponge production technologies, and developments in eco-friendly and energy-efficient titanium extraction methods.
The growing military and commercial aircraft production is expected to propel the growth of the aviation-grade titanium sponge market going forward. Military and commercial aircraft production involves large-scale manufacturing of aircraft for defense and civilian use, including fighter jets, transport planes, and passenger airliners. This growth is driven by rising global defense budgets, as geopolitical tensions increase and national security becomes a priority for many countries. Governments are allocating larger portions of their budgets to defense spending. Aviation-grade titanium sponge supports this growth by providing a lightweight, strong, and corrosion-resistant material essential for manufacturing critical aircraft components such as engine parts, airframes, and landing gear. These properties enhance aircraft performance, fuel efficiency, and durability. For example, in January 2025, Aerospace Manufacturing and Design, a US-based media company, reported that Airbus delivered 766 commercial aircraft in 2024, a 4% increase from 2023, while Lockheed Martin delivered 110 F-35 fighter jets, up from 97 in 2023, surpassing its projections. Therefore, growing military and commercial aircraft production is driving the aviation-grade titanium sponge market.
Key companies in the aviation-grade titanium sponge market are focusing on technological advancements and strengthening the titanium alloy value chain to improve material performance and production efficiency. The titanium alloy value chain covers the entire process from raw material extraction, sponge production, alloying, component manufacturing, to final industry applications. For instance, in February 2023, the Saudi Ministry of Investment signed an investment cooperation agreement with Tasnee and Boeing to explore development opportunities for the aviation-grade titanium alloy value chain in Saudi Arabia. Tasnee, the only titanium sponge producer in the Middle East, is set to play a critical role in boosting local manufacturing capabilities for the aerospace sector, aligning with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 goals to expand industrial growth and technological development.
