The global aerospace composites market size is expected to reach USD 73.36 billion by 2032, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Aerospace Composites Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report – By Fiber Type (Glass Fiber, Carbon Fiber, Ceramic Fiber, and Others), By Matrix Type, By Manufacturing Process, By Aircraft Type, and By Region; Segment Forecast, 2023–2032” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

The growing expansion of the aerospace industry propels the aerospace composites market, driven by increasing demand for high-quality and effective aerospace composites in the marketplace. In January 2023, Hexcel, a composite materials supplier, announced a 29% rise in the fourth quarter sales when compared with the same month of the previous year due to the increasing consumption of aerospace composites.

The rising disposable income and increasing demand for national and international air travel, driven by growing road traffic, affordability, and availability of established infrastructure, drive aircraft production, supporting the aerospace composites market growth. In April 2024, ARRE Solutions acquired USD 34 million in its fundraising session. The investment is expected to boost its strategic expansion activities in aerospace and consumer merchandise.

The potential to reduce emissions and promote engine performance by lowering the weight of aerospace composites is anticipated to stimulate their adoption by aircraft manufacturers. In November 2023, Merlinhawk Aerospace Pvt. Ltd. announced that it had signed a joint venture agreement with Vega Composites S.r.l., Italy to establish a facility in the defense corridor in Tamil Nadu, India for the design and manufacturing of advanced composites material-based products.

The growing adoption of higher operational shelf-life composites and lightweight equipment for effective aerospace performance is projected to facilitate the aerospace composites market growth in the coming years. The changing industrial needs are encouraging firms to design and manufacture effective, functioning aerospace equipment. In January 2024, the NABUCCO project developed user-friendly and buckling-based composite aerospace structures.

The rising focus of industrial players on developing sustainable and operationally efficient aerospace composites is stimulating investments, which can assist in designing advanced aerospace equipment. In August 2023, Aerospace Composites Solutions expanded its business in Kentucky with an investment of nearly USD 16.8 million.
