The global aerospace plastics market is projected to expand 1.5x with a moderate 4% CAGR during the forecast period of 2020 to 2030. In the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak, airlines worldwide faced significant challenges, as governments imposed stringent measures to curb the virus. This resulted in a drastic reduction in passenger demand, with commercial carriers seeing a decline of nearly 75%, leading to lower demand for aerospace products and materials.

A report by Fact.MR highlights the severe impact of the pandemic on the aerospace industry. The economic uncertainty and temporary suspension of manufacturing activities have taken a toll on the aerospace plastics market. Recovery is expected to be gradual due to persistent concerns over contagion and reduced spending on aerospace defense infrastructure.

"Aerospace manufacturers are increasingly turning to plastic materials for component production due to their lightweight nature and corrosion resistance. The need for fuel-efficient aircraft further supports the adoption of plastics. Moreover, plastics offer a more cost-effective alternative to metal components. As fuel costs rise and economic incentives grow, the demand for plastics in aerospace applications is expected to increase," notes the Fact.MR study.
