Composite are formed with two or more materials that when combined, produce a new material with superior qualities that are significantly different to those found in the individual base materials. Traditionally, materials such as metals, aluminum alloys, plastics and others were being used for manufacturing an aircraft’s. However, owing to composite properties such as lightweight, low density, high toughness and rigidity, low carbon emission and so on, have replaced the traditional materials. Furthermore, the market giants such as Airbus and Boeing are also utilizing increasing amounts of composite materials for manufacturing. Military aircraft and fighter aircraft also make use of composite materials within their structures as this enables reduced drag, lower radar visibility and increased resistance to temperatures that are generated during high speed flight.
In terms of fiber type, in 2016, carbon fiber accounted for over 50% share of the global market in terms of revenue and projected to maintain their hold during the forecast period of 2017 to 2025, due to its enhanced operational efficiency and weight reduction. Carbon fiber is being followed by glass fiber. Glass fiber also has some properties which provides the desirable qualities such as high strength to weight ratio, cheaper material and insensitive to moisture and weather.
By resin type, epoxy resin accounted for the largest share in the global market, representing more than 60.0% share in 2016 in terms of revenue. The second largest market in terms of resin type is phenolic resin, which is expected to increase owing to its rising usage in the interior of the aircrafts. Phenolic resin possess some superior properties such as low toxic fume, flame resistance, and excellent static-dissipative.
Of the global aerospace composite market by application, in 2016, exterior application accounted for the largest share of around 59% in terms of value. It is also projected to grow at a highest CAGR during the forecast period of 2017 to 2025. Properties such as light weight, acoustic feature coupled with eco-friendly nature are driving the use of composite in exterior application.
In 2016, the aerospace composite market by region was dominated by the North America accounting around 34% of the market. North America was followed by the Europe and Asia Pacific. Asia-Pacific being the emerging market is projected to exhibit the second highest growth between 2017 and 2025. This growth is attributed to the emerging markets such as China, and Malaysia and the ongoing industrialization and investment.
With the rise in the use of composite in the aerospace industry players are focusing on providing customized and innovative solution to the giants such as Airbus and Boeing to gain the competitive edge. Some of the key players present in this market are Solvay group, Hexcel Corp., Teijin Limited, Huntsman, and DuPont among others.

For the purpose of this study, the global aerospace composite market by fiber type is categorized into:
In 2016, on the basis of fiber type, the aerospace composite market was dominated by carbon fiber segment. This segment is projected to witness growth of 8.7% between 2017 and 2025. Carbon fiber has become the most sought after fiber type in the aerospace industry due to its widespread use in the commercial airline manufacturing industry, particularly with next generation aircrafts such as the Boeing 787 and Airbus A350. The outlook for this submarket remains positive with other new or upgraded commercial aircraft platforms featuring higher proportions of carbon fiber materials in secondary structures, components and interiors. Glass fiber segment is the second largest accounting for approximately 30% share of the market. In commercial aviation, GFRP composite materials find its application in areas such as overhead luggage bins, aircraft galleys and lavatories. Fiber glass is also used to reinforce other composite materials and can be found in rear fuselage structures, wing structures and undercarriages.
For the purpose of this study, the global aerospace composite market by application is categorized into:
The exterior application in the aerospace market accounted for the largest share of approximately 60% in terms of value. Areas such as the fuselage, propulsion system, undercarriage, and wings, and others comes under exterior application where the composites material is being used. Excellent safety, acoustic features, lightweight, coupled with compliance with eco-friendly regulations is driving the usage of composite in exterior applications for better performance. Interior applications is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 8.7% between 2017 and 2025. There is wide range where composite materials are used such as lavatories, wall and ceiling panels, galleys, floor boards, cabin dividers, stowage bins, bulkheads, and so on. Initially, composites were used mainly in floorboards, ceilings and panels, and other components, but now the major focus of manufacturers and suppliers of interior components is on seating.
On the basis of geography, the global aerospace composite market is segmented as per following regions and countries
North America is the largest market with a share of approximately 34.0%, in terms of value, of the global market in 2016; followed by Europe. Asia-Pacific is an emerging aerospace composites market, in terms of value and also the second fastest growing region. Growth in the aerospace composite market can be attributed to properties such as lightweight which help to reduce the aircraft weight that enables enhanced performance and operational capabilities as well as reduced costs. The outlook for aerospace composite market in Latin America also look positive owing to rising disposable income, urbanization and supportive government. Rising demand from leading aircrafts manufacturers such as Boeing, Airbus & others the consumption of these composite materials is expected to drive the market in Europe & Asia-Pacific.
