The Global Aerostructures Market size is anticipated to exceed USD 116.4 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2022 to 2032. Factors driving the aerostructures industry include technological advancements in aerostructures, expansion of MRO services, and a decrease in the cost of composite materials.       

 

Market Overview

Aerostructures are the structural components of an aircraft's airframe or body. Aerostructures are very useful for an aircraft to withstand aerodynamic forces during flight and thus include all of the components that assist an aircraft in flying. Aerostructures on any aircraft body include propulsion systems, flight control surfaces, wings, fuselages, and empennage. To reduce the overall weight of aerostructure manufacturing, prominent manufacturers generally prefer lightweight materials such as superalloys and composites. As the demand for composite materials in the aviation industry has increased significantly, manufacturers are turning to advanced technologies such as 3D printing and additive manufacturing to increase production capacity. One of the key factors expected to drive growth in the global aerostructures market is the increased deployment of commercial aircraft around the world. Growing passenger mobility over the last few years has resulted in a significant increase in the deployment rate of commercial aircraft, which is powerfully driving and supporting the growth of the global aerostructure market. Furthermore, problems associated with composite materials, such as material recycling, are expected to limit the global aerostructure market's growth during the forecast period.

Driving Factors

The significant factor driving the growth of the aerostructures sector is the increase in demand for UAVs in military and commercial applications. The increased number of border conflicts and disputes between neighboring countries is driving the demand for military unmanned vehicles. As a result, the procurement of high-altitude long-endurance (HALE) and medium-altitude long-endurance (MALE) unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is increasing in order to improve intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities. These UAVs have a long endurance of 24 to 48 hours and fly at a higher altitude, which helps to improve military mission capabilities. Furthermore, UAVs made of composite materials outperform traditional UAVs in terms of performance.

 

Restraining Factors

The properties of composite materials make them an excellent choice for the development of aircraft structures. However, one disadvantage of these materials is expected to stymie market growth. Because composite material is typically used in conjunction with other materials such as foam cores, recycling it is extremely difficult. As a result, solid waste management issues are expected to arise in the coming years.

 

Market Segmentation

The Global Aerostructures Market share is classified into material, aircraft type, and end user.

 

• composites segment is expected to grow at the fastest pace in the global aerostructures market during the forecast period.      

The global aerostructures market is categorized by material into composites, alloys & superalloys, and metals. Among these, the composites segment is expected to grow at the fastest pace in the global aerostructures market during the forecast period. During the forecast period, the composite material will grow at the fastest rate. The increase is due to higher acceptance of the development of aircraft components. Composite-material aircraft components provide high design flexibility, strength, durability, and low weight. These composite properties aid in improving aircraft performance and lowering the overall weight. Composite materials are used in aerostructure components such as the wings and fuselage of the Boeing 787 and the Airbus 350 XWB.   

 

• The UAVs segment is expected to grow at the highest pace in the global aerostructures market during the forecast period.   

Based on the aircraft type, the global aerostructures market is divided into commercial aviation, business & general aviation, military aviation, UAVs, and AAM. Among these, the UAVs segment is expected to grow at the highest pace in the global aerostructures market during the forecast period.
