According to Fact.MR, a provider of market research and competitive intelligence, the global aerospace composites market is projected to reach a valuation of approximately US$ 41.4 billion in 2023. It is anticipated that the market will grow at a rate of 9.0% during the period from 2023 to 2033.
Composite materials are recognized for their crucial role in the manufacturing of aerospace components. Increasing concerns regarding fuel consumption in traditional aircraft have opened avenues for composite manufacturers to create lightweight, high-performance materials suitable for aircraft component production.
Carbon fiber composite materials are predominantly utilized in the manufacturing of aircraft components due to their characteristics, which include high modulus, exceptional tensile strength, and minimal thermal expansion.
The demand for aerospace composites is expected to rise due to several factors, including a surge in tourism, an increase in air travel, the emergence of low-cost airlines, and a growing need for fuel-efficient aircraft. Composites are also utilized in satellites, payloads, and spacecraft, as well as in vehicles designed for spaceflight. Their superior strength and ability to withstand extreme temperatures make composites ideal for reinforcing solid rocket motors and pressure tanks used for fuel and gas storage.
