DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Global Defence Aircraft Materials Market - Global Market Shares, Forecasts and Trends (2018 - 2023)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
High Growth of Composite Materials Section
The global aircrafts composites market is expected to register a CAGR close to 7% during the forecast period.
Demand for fuel efficient and long haul aircrafts, are the major driving factors for the carbon fiber composite industry.
Reduced maintenance and longer design life, fewer parts, and reduced tooling and assembly costs are some of the reasons, which drive the market for carbon fiber in the aerospace industry.
Initially, composite materials were used only in secondary structure, but as knowledge and development of the materials has improved, their use in primary structure, such as wings and fuselages has increased. Thus, there is increasing penetration of carbon fiber in commercial aircraft (B787 and A380), wind turbine blades, and other aerospace applications.
However, the strict performance requirements of composites in aerospace applications lead to certification barriers and tighter manufacturing tolerances than those associated with other composites applications. This in turn leads to higher prices for aerospace parts. The other restraints identified in the market include difficulty in test detection, need for specialized repair techniques.
