It was estimated prior to this unanticipated outbreak that the Aerospace Plastics Market was likely to witness an impressive CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period. However, the gradual slowing down of industries will undoubtedly impose limits on the previously estimated growth rate.
Market Share Analysis
Aerospace Plastics Market Share: By Platform Type
Based on the platform type, the market is segmented as commercial aircraft, regional aircraft, military aircraft, general aviation, helicopters, and others. The commercial aircraft segment held the largest share of the market in 2019, and is expected to remain dominant during the forecast period. Increasing commercial aircraft deliveries to support rising passenger traffic, introduction of fuel-efficient next-generation aircraft, and rising commercial aircraft fleet size across regions are the key factors propelling the demand for plastics in the segment.
Aerospace Plastics Market Share: By Polymer Type
Based on the polymer type, the aerospace plastics market is segmented as Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK), Poly Methyl Methacrylate (PMMA), Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), Polycarbonate (PC), Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), and Others. The PPMA segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR in the market during the forecast period, owing to its wider applications such as aircraft canopies, cockpits, portholes, windshields, and exterior lighting.
Aerospace Plastics Market Share: By Application Type
Based on the application type, the aerospace plastics market is segmented as aircraft interiors, airframe, windows & windshields, and others. Aircraft interiors was the major application of the aerospace plastics market in 2019, and is expected to remain dominant during the forecast period as well. Plastics are widely used in aircraft interior applications such as ducts, cabin partitions, floor panels, overhead luggage bins, avionics sensor plates, electronic component mounting brackets, and ventilation impeller blades.
Aerospace Plastics Market Share: By Region
In terms of regions, North America is expected to remain the dominant region in the market in the coming five years as the region is the manufacturing capital of the aerospace industry with the presence of several OEMs, tier players, distributors, and raw material suppliers. The USA will continue to propel the demand for aircraft plastics in the region over the next five years.
