Product Overview

Aerospace composites market is anticipated to surpass USD 34752.35 million by 2030 from USD 18301.28 million in 2020 at a CAGR of 10.99% throughout the forecast period, i.e. 2020-2030

Aerospace is one of the utmost significance and largest sectors for the composite sector. All military aircraft, commercial aircraft, helicopters, and spacecraft make use of composite substances both for interior and exterior applications. These composite substances, also called advanced polymer matrix composites, are usually controlled by high-strength fibers that have great flexibility and firmness and are constrained together with frailer matrices. Composite substances are utilized for several reasons in the aircraft sector. The benefit of composites is that they can maintain their characteristics and do not combine entirely with each other. On merging, the substances generate a hybrid substance that has better physical features, which can be utilized for aerospace constituents. Composite substances used in the aerospace sector comprise fiberglass, carbon fiber, and fiber-reinforced matrix programs or any mixture of these substances. Aerospace composites are utilized in several aircraft edges such as wings, aircraft interiors, and fuselage. Furthermore, these can maintain radical functioning circumstances, including high temperature, high stress, shocks, and effect loads. Composite materials are significant for the aerospace sector, as they offer better structural strength in comparison to metallic alloys.

The Exterior segment to boost at the fastest CAGR of XX% during 2020-2030

The global aerospace composites market is segmented by Application into Interior and Exterior. Among these, the exterior segment is witnessed to hold the largest market share of xx% in the year 2019. Based on its greater characteristics, such as power, elasticity, longevity, constancy, lightweight, and endurance to heat, temperature, and moisture, aerospace composites are majorly utilized in exterior applications. Aerospace composites such as carbon fiber composites are used to create airframe structures, such as landing gears, leading and trailing edges, engine nacelles, undercarriages, fuselages, and wings. Apart from this, aerospace composites are also used in engine constituents and impulsion programs of aircraft.

Market Dynamics

Drivers

Increasing Demand for Composite Substances for the Aerospace Sector

In the expectant situation, post-2021, when aerospace industries begin functioning at full volumes with no travel limitations and intervention in the supply chain, the need for composite materials from the aerospace & defense sector would grow. Composite substances are utilized widely as sandwich structures in interior and exterior applications in the aerospace sector. The lightweight and high workable energy of composites raise fuel proficiency, decrease sustenance costs, and enable OEMs to conform to the severe environmental norms in Europe and North America. The latest designed aircrafts such as Airbus A350 XWB, and Boing Dreamliner 787 comprise 50% weight of airframes made with composite materials.

Reduction of Cost of Carbon Fibers

The primary raw materials used for the manufacturing of carbon fiber composites are polymeric resins and carbon fibers. The cost of carbon fibers is positively related to the cost of pioneer raw materials from which they are generated. Carbon fibers are presently derived from polyacrylonitrile (PAN). The building of cost-efficient and high-yield heralds for making aerospace-class carbon fibers would substantially lower the cost of carbon fibers. These cost-efficient heralds for carbon fibers would push down the cost of aerospace-grade carbon fibers. The decline in the cost of carbon fibers would decrease the cost of carbon fiber aerospace composites, thereby boosting the market.

Restraint

Reduction in the Number of Commercial Aircraft Supplies

The reduction in the number of aircraft supplies would openly affect the aerospace composites market. Since more than 80% of the utilization of composites substance is in commercial aircraft, the fall in the need for composites owing to the declined number of aircraft directives would adversely affect the market. Supposedly, the foundation of Boeing 737MAX arising from accidents underwent by the Malaysian and Ethiopian Airlines, lately, caused the termination of its directives. In the first quarter of 2020, Airbus and Boeing supplied 122 and 50 commercial aircraft around the globe, which is 22% and 66% less in comparison to the first quarter of 2019.

Liquidity Crunch owing to Slowdown in the Aerospace Sector

The aerospace composites sector is capital-intensive. Due to the recent epidemic, the key end-users of aerospace composite substances, such as commercial & business aircraft producers, rotary aircraft designers, and helicopter designers, are at a halt. Some OEMs have low liquid assets with reduced functioning cash flows. Moreover, the immense decline in market capitalization has resulted in sector alliances. Without income, OEMs and their suppliers are estimated to face a liquidity crisis soon and fall short of business. The biggest challenge for the aerospace sector would be to guarantee an undisrupted financial flow to prevent a liquidity crisis.

Global Aerospace Composites Market: Regions

Region-wise, the market for aerospace composites across the globe is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and the Asia Pacific. Among these, Europe is witnessed to constitute xx% of the total market share in the year 2019, owing to increased demand from commercial aerospace sectors. In addition, it is internal to many primary aerospace composite producers, such as SGL Carbon, Solvay, and Ten Cate. Raised supplies of Airbus aircraft mainly pushes the compounds material needed in Europe. Other than this, the region builds military aircraft and helicopters.
