Aviation Grade Titanium Sponge Market Report 2026

The aviation grade titanium sponge market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.52 billion in 2025 to $1.65 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing demand for high-purity titanium sponge in aerospace, growth of commercial aircraft production, rising need for lightweight and high-strength components, early adoption in defense and military aircraft, development of kroll process and other titanium reduction technologies.

The aviation grade titanium sponge market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.26 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of spacecraft and helicopter manufacturing, rising use in medical and defense applications, advancements in high-performance titanium alloys, increasing focus on sustainable titanium production, growing demand in commercial and military aviation sectors. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing use in commercial aircraft manufacturing, rising adoption in military aircraft components, expansion in helicopter and spacecraft applications, growth in high-performance aerospace alloys, advancements in medical grade titanium applications.

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.

In January 2025, PTC Industries Limited, an India-based provider of advanced manufacturing and materials technologies, partnered with the Government of Odisha to invest in the development of an aerospace-grade titanium sponge manufacturing facility in Odisha. Through this partnership, PTC Industries and the Government of Odisha aim to establish domestic production of titanium sponge to strengthen the aerospace and defense supply chain, reduce dependence on imports, and advance India’s self-reliance in critical materials. The Government of Odisha is a regional government in India that provides support and incentives for industrial development and strategic manufacturing initiatives.
