Aerospace Adhesives Market Growth Drivers
- Growing Production of Commercial Aircraft and Rising Air Travel Drive Demand for Aerospace Adhesives in Aircraft Manufacture and Maintenance: The major factor driving the growth of the aerospace adhesives market is the growing production of commercial aircraft. There is an increase in air passengers across the globe. With air travel on the rise, airlines are expanding their fleets, thereby increasing demand for the adhesives used in airplane manufacture and maintenance.
- Increase in Commercial Aircraft Fleets Boosts Need for More Maintenance and Repair Services, Driving Demand for Aerospace Adhesives in MRO Activities: The number of commercial aircraft increases in the fleet results in an increase in the added demand for more maintenance and repair services. In an MRO activity, aerospace adhesives hugely contribute to increasing the market demand.
- High Demand from MRO Sector Due to Expanding Aircraft Fleet and Frequent Maintenance Requirements Contributes Significantly to Aerospace Adhesives Market Growth: Growing Production of Commercial Aircraft and Rising Air Travel Drive Demand for Aerospace Adhesives in Aircraft Manufacture and Maintenance: A high demand from the MRO sector is another important factor influencing the aerospace adhesives market growth. With the high number of aircraft in the world, the need for effective and reliable adhesive solutions during MRO activities has assumed critical proportions. Also, the commercial aircraft fleet is expanding. More frequent maintenance and repairs of the increased quantity of commercial aircraft are necessary. This increases the demand for aerospace adhesives applied in MRO activities.
Aerospace Adhesives Market Future Trends
- Development of Sustainable Aerospace Adhesives: The development of sustainable adhesives is expected to be a key trend in the aerospace adhesives market. Sustainable adhesives have so many advantages. By reducing the carbon footprint associated with production and application, these adhesives contribute to sustainability efforts, requiring less energy compared to alternative methods.
- Sustainable Aerospace Adhesives Drive Innovation: Sustainable aerospace adhesives offer a pathway toward reducing carbon footprints and minimizing ecological harm. The availability of green aerospace materials has long been recognized, with ongoing research driving the development of new types. These innovations are largely motivated by regulatory restrictions like REACH, which aim to enhance environmental protection.
- Transition to Renewable, Bio-Based Aerospace Adhesives: Manufacturers of adhesives are continuing to develop aerospace adhesives with renewable, bio-based materials. These formulations reduce reliance on fossil fuels and contribute to lower carbon emissions. They are transitioning from solvent-based to water-based adhesives that can significantly reduce Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions. This improves air quality during application and throughout the aircraft’s lifespan.
Aerospace Adhesives Market Opportunities
- New Product Developments and Innovations: The new product development and innovations in the aerospace adhesives market are expected to offer more lucrative opportunities for market growth during the forecast period. Manufacturers of aerospace adhesives are focusing on the development of new, innovative, and high-quality products to fulfill customer demand.
- Manufacturers Focus on Developing High-Quality Adhesives: For instance, in April 2024, PPG announced that it had added two adhesives to its aerospace portfolio: PPG PR-2940, an epoxy syntactic paste adhesive (ESPA) for bonding the internal structures of an aircraft, and PPG PR-2936, an adhesive that incorporates the properties of a shim and sealant for attaching the outer skin of an aircraft to the internal structures.
- Recent Innovations: Further, in June 2021, Solvay launched AeroPaste 1006, 1009, and 1100 adhesive pastes and BR 179 non-chromate primer. These breakthrough aerospace adhesive and surfacing technology innovations not only increase part assembly efficiency but also offer unmatched processing flexibility, making them ideal for ever-increasing production rates. Such development by the players operating in the market fuels the market growth.
