Global aerospace adhesives market value was USD 1.2 Billion in 2019. It is projected to grow at a compound annual rate (CAGR of 5.7%) between 2020 and 2027. The demand for adhesives products will increase due to the increasing number of passengers worldwide. Aerospace manufacturing has many uses for adhesives and sealants. There are many interior applications for thread-lockers, retaining compounds and hydraulic thread systems in an aircraft. Adhesives are also needed for exterior applications like door moldings, panels, and wing spars. Due to the large number of aerospace component manufacturers, the U.S. is a major market for adhesives and sealants. The U.S. aerospace market is dominated by companies such as Honeywell International Inc., Lockheed Martin, United Technologies and United Technologies.
With increasing composite use, the demand for adhesives is growing. Vendors will have many opportunities in areas such as primary and secondary assemblies for aircraft. Another promising market area for aerospace adhesives is the customization to meet manufacturer requirements. Aerospace application requirements require adhesive manufacturers to be able adjust properties like toughness, viscosity and cure time.
Long-term demand will be fueled by investments in R&D and the development of new products. Aerospace adhesives and sealants vendors are focused on increasing the reliability of bonded composite structures, lightning protection technology and new multifunctional surface.
Epoxy commanded the largest share in the adhesive market and had a revenue share exceeding 46.0% in 2019. Epoxy-based products can be found in large wingskins and composite ribs. It has a high coefficient for thermal expansion, high compressive strengths, and low elongation-to-fracture.
From 2020 to 2027, the market for adhesives will see a 5.8% CAGR in volume. Aerospace manufacturing is expected to be more efficient if different substrates are bonded using adhesive. The joining or bonding of materials allows for assembly of dissimilar materials, and the ability to support higher loads. It helps to distribute strains and stresses evenly across joints.
The aerospace industry also uses cyanoacrylates and methyl methacrylate. The demand for sealing, tamperproofing, gasketing and retaining, bonding, as well as thread locking, will continue to grow over the next few years.
In 2019, the commercial aircraft segment was responsible for a greater than 50% volume share in the adhesives market. This is due to increasing passenger demand, which in turn drives the demand for new commercial aircraft. From 2000 to 2019, passenger traffic increased by 2.4x. According to the Airbus latest study, it will likely double within the next 15 year.
To comply with stringent environmental regulations, aerospace companies have been focusing on fuel efficiency. According to the Airbus study, fuel efficiency improved by more than 2.0% annually between 2008 and 2018. These regulations require that aviation companies replace older aircraft with fuel-efficient, modern aircraft.
The market for aerospace adhesives will grow due to increased demand for military aircraft, including fighters, transports, and patrol planes. Another factor that could help propel the market for aerospace adhesives is the rising defense spending in major economies like the U.S. and China.
North America was the largest market share at more than 37.0% for 2019. The U.S. government's increased focus on military strengthening is driving growth in the market for aerospace adhesives. Contractors and their supply chain will likely see increased defense spending in the long-term.
In terms of revenue, Asia Pacific will grow at 6.4% between 2020 and 2027. Rapid increase in passenger traffic and increased demand for new aircraft are the key drivers of growth in this region. China is expected to be the main driver of growth in the region, with a demand of 8,090 aircraft over the next twenty years.
India will likely provide market vendors with new opportunities in the long-term. The market for aerospace adhesives will expand as a result of India's low-cost carrier growth and increased passenger traffic. Market vendors can also look forward to investments in new space programs.
Vendors in the aerospace adhesives and sealants market will likely continue to invest in new product development and production facilities as key growth strategies. In February 2018, Henkel, for example, announced that it would be opening a dedicated facility in Montornes, Spain, to develop aerospace adhesives. This will likely increase the competition in this market. The market for aerospace adhesives and sealants is dominated by the following:
