Aerospace Composites Market Insights

Global Aerospace Composites Market size was valued at USD 26.59 billion in 2022 and is poised to grow from USD 29.7 billion in 2023 to USD 80.4 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 11.7% in the forecast period (2024-2031).

Composites are commonly used in the aviation industry. They are utilised in aircraft parts such as wings, ribs, spars, frames, longerons, and fuselage stiffeners. A composite is made up of two or more components that, when mixed, create a new substance with better qualities that differ greatly from those present in the individual basis materials. Metals, aluminium alloys, polymers, and other materials have traditionally been utilised in the production of aircraft. With greater knowledge and technology. The market is expanding rapidly due to the increasing usage of composites in military and commercial aircraft. Other factors driving the growth of the Aerospace Composites Market include growing aircraft deliveries, replacing aged aircraft with new coming models, and developing fuel-efficient aircraft. In the aerospace business, a wide variety of composites are used. Composites are used in commercial aircraft, defence aircraft, helicopters, launchers, and engines.

Aerospace Composites Market Analysis by Fiber Type:

Based on fiber, aerospace composites market is segmented into carbon fiber composites, ceramics fiber composites, glass fiber composites, others.

In terms of fiber, the carbon fibre category accounted for more than 35% of the aerospace composites market. Carbon fiber is approximately twice as stiff as aramid and glass fibers, hence it is preferred for aircraft and space shuttles. Furthermore, the high strength carbon fiber reduces the weight of aircrafts, increasing engine efficiency and lowering fuel consumption. According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), cumulative demand for carbon fiber is increasing by 10% per year between 2016 and 2024, bolstering the expansion of the carbon fiber-based segment.

Aerospace Composites Market Analysis by Aircraft Type:

A notable share of the global aerospace composites market is dominated by the commercial aerospace sector. Due to substantial improvements in the civilian aerospace sector and the replacement of the fleet that is about to retire, it is anticipated that the commercial aerospace segment will maintain its position. Additionally, manufacturers are anticipated to come out with variant designs, boosting the aerospace composites sector, as a result of the surge in demand for midsize commercial aircraft and the success of composite being utilized in the construction of these mid-sized aircraft. Furthermore, the market is anticipated to have considerable growth during the forecast period due to the growing use of composite materials in military aircraft.

Aerospace Composites Market Dynamics

Aerospace Composites Market Drivers

Rising Demand for Composite Materials in the Aircraft Industry

  • In the best-case scenario, after 2021, when aerospace businesses can operate at full capacity with no travel limitations or disruptions in the supply chain, demand for composite materials from the aerospace and defence industries will skyrocket. In the aerospace sector, composite materials are widely used as sandwich structures in both interior and exterior applications. Composites' light weight and high tensile strength improve fuel efficiency, save maintenance costs, and enable OEMs to meet tough environmental laws in Europe and North America. Newer advanced aircrafts, such as the Airbus A350 XWB and Boeing Dreamliner 787, have a composite airframe that is 50 percent lighter.

Aerospace Composites Market Restraint

Reduction in Number of Commercial Aircraft Deliveries

  • The drop in aircraft deliveries would have a direct impact on the aerospace composites business. Because commercial aircraft consume more than 80% of composites material, a fall in demand for composites due to a decrease in aircraft orders would have a negative influence on the market. For example, the recent grounding of Boeing 737MAX aircraft due to accidents sustained by Malaysian and Ethiopian Airlines resulted in the cancellation of orders. Airbus and Boeing delivered 122 and 50 commercial aircraft globally in the first quarter of 2020.
