Aerospace Plastics Exhibit Heat Resistance & High Strength Properties

The global aerospace plastics market is expected to reach USD 1.04 million by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Non-corrosive nature and high-temperature resistance of plastics are expected to bolster market growth over the forecast period.

Aerospace plastics exhibit heat resistance and high strength properties. It's high modulus of elasticity aids in the production of various aircraft components such as fuselage, airframe, empennage, etc. In addition, plastics are lightweight nevertheless high-performance alternatives to metals such as steel and aluminum; as a result, the market is expected to grow significantly.

Growing adoption of highly durable and chemical resistant plastics are expected to drive market over the forecast period. However, the components manufactured with the use of polymers are hard to inspect for flaws, leading to quality variations and defects. Increased incidents of plastic fracture and failure along with high maintenance, repair and operating costs are posing a threat to aerospace plastics market growth.

Application Insights

Aircraft frame contains the maximum amount of carbon fiber reinforced plastic and composites reducing the weight by 20%. The extended use of composites and plastics in the high-tension loaded environment of the fuselage reduces the maintenance primarily due to fatigue. Moreover, the use of engineered polymers in fuselage enables part count reductions with the use of fasteners and integral clips.

Equipment, systems, and supplies accounted for the second largest share in terms of volume followed by cabin interiors. Aerospace plastics are anti-corrosive, lightweight, and resistant to chemicals and act as an efficient alternative to conventional materials such as aluminum and steel. One of the major advantages of polymers is that they can be assembled into large structures through bonding rather than riveting.

End-use Insights

Commercial aircraft have been a major end user segment for aerospace plastics owing to the emergence of several service providers in air transport industry. Military aircraft segment has also been lucrative, its utilization attributed to growing security and defense concerns. Inclination towards niche air transportation options has led to the exploration of rotary aircraft and gliders for special travel purposes.

Freight and large passenger aircraft are one of the major application areas for plastics in the aerospace industry. Utilization of polymers in aircraft aids in reducing operating cost by reducing the weight and lowers the occurrence of maintenance issues. This has encouraged aircraft manufacturers to potentially increase plastic content in commercial as well as freighter aircraft.
