Driver: Increase in demand for lightweight insulation materials
Increase in demand for lightweight insulation materials is a key factor that is expected to drive the aircraft insulation market. There is an increase in the use of composite materials to manufacture aerostructures. These materials include concrete, fiber-reinforced polymer, metal composites, and ceramic composites. These materials are combined to make composite materials that have high strength, flexibility, and are lightweight as compared to aluminum or steel. Furthermore, these materials are corrosion-resistant, which keeps the covers of an aerostructure tight under any weather condition.
Investments made towards research & development of new materials in the aircraft insulation market have led to the development of advanced composite materials, such as Polymer Matrix Composites (PMCs), Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs), and Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs). These composites have heat absorption capacity, less weight, noise cancellation capability, vibration absorbance, etc.
Such advancements in the aircraft insulation technology are expected to lead to their demand during the forecast period.
Opportunity: Increase in demand for composite materials from General Aviation (GA) and business jets industry to reduce cabin noise
The demand for general aviation and business jet services is increasing globally due to the increase in disposable income of people, standard of living, and corporate and recreational aviation. This, in turn, has led to a rise in demand for private jets, business jets, and small aircraft from the General Aviation (GA) industry. Presently, the General Aviation industry is focusing on increasing its market share in the North American and European regions. Following the rise in demand for aircraft and increase in passenger traffic, aircraft manufacturers are using composite materials to make aircraft cabin noise-free. Although aero grade aluminum alloy has been considered as a major material for current GA aircraft models, Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) is being widely adopted to manufacture new aircraft models.
Additionally, the emerging economies of the world contribute majorly to the growth of the business jets market. Countries such as India, China, Australia, Saudi Arabia, and Nigeria are the growing markets for business jets manufacturers. Enhancements in the interior of the business jets also attract new customers. This leads to a huge demand for insulation materials used in the aerospace sector, which are used in several cockpit and other luxury equipment of business jets.
