The global aerospace composites market size reached US$ 20.3 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 32.2 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5% during 2023-2028.
The aerospace composite refers to reinforced carbon, ceramic and glass based fibers that are present in a tough resin matrix. They are commonly used in propellers, seats, wing assemblies, rotor blades and instrument enclosures of passenger airlines, fighter planes, helicopters, space shuttles and gliders. These composites exhibit high mechanical strength and low density that can be used for manufacturing both structural and utility components of the aircraft. They also exhibit flexibility in manufacturing complex shapes, fiber toughness and resistance to fatigue and corrosion that aids in enhancing the efficiency of the engine.
Significant growth in the aviation and aerospace industries is among the key factors driving the growth of the market. Furthermore, the growing need to develop fuel-efficient aircraft is also providing a boost to the market growth. Manufacturers are building commercial aircraft with composite materials due to their low-weight, high mechanical strength and weather resistance properties. Additionally, increasing air traffic and tourism activities, especially in the emerging economies, is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Airlines are replacing outdated aircraft with technologically advanced and modern airplanes that are equipped with increased payload capacities and cost-efficiency. This has resulted in the widespread adoption of aerospace composites across the globe. Apart from this, increasing space exploratory activities using drones, spaceships and aircraft is also favoring the market growth. Composites safeguard the aircraft and the equipment against damages caused by accidents, climatic changes and collisions. Other factors, including favourable government policies to improve air transport infrastructure, increasing trade activities and extensive research and development (R&D), are projected to drive the market in the upcoming years.
