Summary of the Report

Global aerospace and defense materials market was valued at USD 20.74 million in 2019. It is expected to grow by 4.0% during the forecast period. New aircraft manufacturing has seen a rise, which is expected to fuel the market's growth. In an effort to increase the aircraft's environmental and cost efficiency, there will be an increasing demand for lightweight materials. Composites made of lightweight, strong fibers reinforced with carbon are becoming more popular in aircraft manufacturing. This allows for increased fuel efficiency, decreased emissions, and reduced material consumption, which will allow for the installation of new functions.

The U.S. is expected dominate the aerospace and defense materials market, due to the presence in the region of established aircraft manufacturers such as Lockheed Martin, United Technologies, Boeing, and United Technologies. The main driver of growth is expected to be technological ability to produce high quality products.

In the near future, the market will benefit from strong demand for aircraft. Over the forecast period, the worldwide number of cargo and commercial aircraft fleets will increase by approximately two-thirds. This is expected to contribute to an increase in aircraft production as well as the demand for the materials.

The aerospace and defense industries have been long-term supporters of the development and application advanced materials. Many advanced materials are being adopted by leading manufacturers, including carbon fiber composites as well as titanium alloys. These materials are important in reducing aircraft weight and improving fuel efficiency.

Market players often sign long-term supply agreements with aircraft manufacturers. Material manufacturers offer highly customized solutions for the component and aircraft maker. The quality of materials is monitored by aircraft manufacturers throughout the value chain, from component design to manufacturing.

Product Insights

Due to the rising popularity of aluminum alloys, 46.6% of global aerospace and defense material market volume was made up of aluminum. Because of its outstanding properties, including resistance to heat and corrosion, aluminum is preferred for production of components for aerostructures. Aluminum is expected to increase in demand as an internal fitting for aircrafts to reduce weight and fuel consumption.

Steel can be used with a variety of metals such as carbon, chromium and nickel in various grades that offer enhanced hardness, yield strength and corrosion resistance. Because stainless steel is easy to weld, it's preferred by aircraft manufacturers for producing rivets and fasteners. This helps in elevating the airspeed and reducing the chance of accidents or damages.

Titanium will show the fastest revenue growth of 4.8% over the forecast period due to its exceptional compatibility with composites. Titanium's light weight, strength and exceptional corrosion resistance properties will help to increase demand for critical components of aircraft.

Copper alloys, including Beryllium copper and Nickel-Aluminum-Bronze are widely used in aerospace engineering for manufacturing critical aircraft components where high strength, corrosion resistance, and good ductility is required. They are used in applications that involve abrasive wear and heavy loads as well as corrosion.

Application Insights

The fastest revenue-based CAGR for Aerostructure will be 4.7% between 2020 and 2027. This is due to the rapid growth of composites, including CFRP and honeycomb material in non-critical structural parts. Composites and aluminum are used extensively in this structure due to their lightweight characteristics and improved rigidity.

The core functions of an airplane are provided by its components, including bearings, fasteners and bushings as well as the fueling and refueling systems. The demand for titanium to manufacture these components will rise as composites are used more often in aircraft structures. Because of their superior corrosion resistance, titanium and its alloys are preferred to aluminum.

Because of its strength and ability to satisfy stringent requirements, plastics are preferred for cabin interiors. There are many options for plastic moldings to be used in cabin seating areas, including trim strips, decorative closeouts and armrests. For these applications, decorative vinyl and polycarbonate are preferred. Decorative plastic laminates are for surfaces that will be in direct contact with passengers and crew.

Large quantities of aluminum are required for satellite manufacturing. These alloys have high strength but low weight. Satellite structures must withstand harsh environments. This is why aramid fiber composites are used exclusively for their structure. Protecting satellites against orbital debris is also possible with aramid fiber composites.

End-use Insights

The demand for aerospace and defense materials for commercial aircraft is expected to grow due to the phenomenal growth in freight and commercial passenger traffic. This segment was responsible for 54.7% revenue share in 2019. It includes jets used for passenger, business, military, and police aviation. Due to the shorter travel time, this segment will see significant growth and productivity improvements over the forecast period.

Due to a slight drop in military spending, the demand for aerospace and defense material for military aircraft will see a slowdown in growth. In the near future, however, there will be a rise in demand for fighter planes. Other types of aircraft including Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and spacecraft require advanced materials as well as robust and temperature-resistant materials that offer resilience. For drone manufacturing, composites like carbon fiber-reinforced plasticmers are used extensively. To strengthen the outer structure of drones, titanium alloys and thermal protective tiles can be used.

Regional Insights

Due to its large aviation manufacturing industry, North America will see increased use of composites in aerostructure. This region will support approximately one-third the global operational fleet. This will lead to an increase in demand for aircraft parts and airframes over the forecast period.

Europe's aerospace and defense industry is expected to grow at 2.9% CAGR in volume. This will be accompanied by an increase in defense spending from NATO countries. The market is expected to be driven by terrorist threats. The market will benefit from rising passenger traffic and falling airfares.

Asia Pacific will see the most rapid growth in the forecast period due to the phenomenal development of the regional aviation industry. The domestic mass production of the COMAC Chinese jet is expected to increase product demand in the next eight years. China is expected to be the fastest-growing market due to its growing economy and opportunities in aircraft maintenance and service. The government's efforts to improve domestic manufacturing and increase overall export to America are expected to drive regional demand for aerospace and defense materials.

Aerospace and Defense Materials Market Share insights

Due to the growing popularity of the aircraft manufacturing industry, the market has a more competitive environment. China's emerging players, along with those from Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America, will challenge the established players in North America.

Technology-driven key players are determined to target markets with long-term growth potential where they can build a sustainable competitive advantage. The market participants place emphasis on R&D for low-cost materials that can offer high strength and lightweight. End users are more focused on technology than cost reduction.
