Opportunities for Composites in the Global Aerospace Market 2009-2028 Published: August 2009, Total 359 pages, 200 figures/charts and 52 tables.

On December 17, 1903, Orville Wright piloted the first powered airplane 20 feet above a sandy beach in North Carolina. That flight lasted all of 12 seconds and covered 120 feet. More than 100 years later, aircraft manufacturers today are fabricating aircraft that can carry hundreds of passengers thousands of miles to destinations throughout the globe.

The aerospace market has experienced significant growth during the last 5 years and is expected to reach $301 billion in 2018 with a global growth rate of 5.1% for the next ten years. The critical success factor for aerospace market is the increasing demand in developing countries; in addition, Lucintel believes the most successful companies will be those that can develop application-specific, customer-focused solutions and have the ability to help their customers achieve long-term business objectives, such as increasing efficiency and lowering costs with expanded lifetime of the aircraft.

Learn what factors are impacting the aerospace market and composites in aerospace market. The report looks extensively at recent industry trends, as well as future opportunities and threats, and represents an invaluable aid to sales and marketing professionals in, or interested in, the industry. In addition, the report analyses market sizes and trends, market structures, key company shares for various segments. The composites market for aerospace by materials such as reinforcements and resins are discussed.

According to Lucintel, composites in the global aerospace market is estimated to reach $5.1 billion in 2018. Lucintel has identified, analyzed and projected the best and worst performing segments in the aerospace composites market. The worst performers were the markets which were most closely associated with credit crunch for financing general aviation and short term contract for business jet and commercial helicopter. The best performing market was the one with firm long-term contracts with customers. With the global downturn, it proves important to understand those sectors and segments which continue to show strength and future potential. The top three segments are expected to grow between 7.2%-12.5% per year over the next ten years offering substantial opportunities for firms focused on these opportunities. For the next ten years, composites in the global aerospace market is expected to grow 10.6% per year, however, individual results by segment is expected to vary greatly from 3.8% to 12.5% per year. Discover which applications show the strongest business potential and will grow the fastest and how changing penetration trends from composites will affect the marketplace.

In an industry that is increasingly looking to developing markets to sustain long-term growth, "Opportunities for Composites in the Global Aerospace Market 2009-2028" is the only publication in the world to provide up to date information on the state of the both the developed and emerging markets in composites.

Feedback

The present report is a comprehensive overview of the advanced composite materials market in the aerospace industry. It provides a top-down view starting from a useful characterization of the aerospace market itself, with accurate breakdown in the main segments and sub-segments (commercial aircraft, regional aircraft, fighter, transport aircraft, launchers, satellites,...). The report contains detailed figures of the volumes (and associated market value) of composites consumed in the different aerospace segments/sub-segments and predicts the consumed volumes until 2018. 

Unlike other reports of this type,- it also provides technical information regarding materials and processes used for the manufacturing of different aircraft components. For this reason the report is useful not only for business planners but also for Technology Officers willing to create a map of 'who uses which technology' for a given set of aircraft component types.

The report also includes a very useful and comprehensive directory of main players/manufacturers, with detailed indication of sources of additional information (for users willing to get even deeper in this type of content).

Overall, it is a very complete and useful tool, accurately prepared by aerospace knowledgeable professionals (unlike other market reports of similar type).
