The global aerospace fabrics market was valued at USD 24.65 billion by 2020 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of 6.9% during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the growing demand for aerospace fabrics across regions and its expanding applications in the production of new age aircraft.
Aerospace fabrics are specialized fabrics that incorporate exceptional properties to design certain aerospace products including G-suits for pilots and section suits for air and space transports. These suits are normally utilized by pilot and astronaut in airplanes or spacecraft who are engaged in various space mission and space transportation. These fabrics are elite materials that have certain favorable properties such as offering high strength, high temperature resistance, and protection from easy wearing off. The fabrics are primarily made from aluminum, steel, titanium, and composite alloys.
Market Drivers, Restraints, Trends, and Opportunities
- Growing investment for the military budget and interest for strong air defense are key factors driving the market growth.
- Rising demands for superior fabrics for the manufacturing of uniform for pilots and air crew members in military aircrafts acts as a key driver for the market growth.
- Expanding aircraft fleet for both commercial and military purposes are other major factors that help boost the demand for the fabrics.
- Growing space expedition and rising government spending for several space missions among the developing nations act another key factor that can push the market growth.
- High price of the fabric materials is a key restraining factor that can hamper the market growth.
- The outbreak of COVID-19 has brought adverse impacts in the aviation industry that resulted in the cancelation of air transport service across the globe. This acts a key challenge that is expected to restrict the market growth.
