Aluminum for Aerospace Market By Type (Aluminum-Lithium Alloys, Aluminum-Copper Alloys, Aluminum-Magnesium Alloys, Others); By Application (Fuselage, Wings, Landing Gear, Empennage, Satellite and Spacecraft Components, Others); By Aircraft Type (Commercial Aircraft, Military Aircraft, General Aviation, Spacecraft); By Geography, Segment revenue estimation, Forecast, 2024–2032.

Published On: NOV-2024   |   Base Year: 2022   |   No Of Pages: 150   |   Historical Data: 2017-2021   |   Formats: PDF   |   Report ID: 54723721

The aluminum for aerospace market was estimated to be about $6.7 billion in 2023, and it will reach $10.2 billion with a CAGR of 6.2% in the forecast period 2023-2030. Increased use of lightweight materials in commercial and military aircraft and the technological development of aluminum alloys have contributed to this market.

 

Aluminum is one of the most widely used materials in aerospace structures and components due to its strength, corrosion resistance, and ease of fabrication. With aerospace manufacturers always looking to make planes more fuel-efficient, less pollutive, and stronger, aluminum alloys are now virtually essential in fabricating aircraft parts, including fuselage, wings, and undercarriage.

 

Aluminum has become a versatile material for aerospace companies, enabling them to adhere to all requirements and regulations, optimize operation costs, and increase passenger comfort. It is also used in space applications and astronautic projects, making it a critical element in the fabrication of satellites and spacecraft.

 

Market Drivers

Increased Demand for Commercial Aircraft: The international aviation industry has been growing rapidly, especially due to the global demand for air travel, especially from developing nations. Aluminum is an ideal material at the literal level for weight considerations and targets for the production output of new-generation commercial airliners. Example: Boeing and Airbus delivered 1,103 aircraft in 2023, while aluminum comprised the larger part of the structural material for aircraft production.

 

Efficient Light Weighting Efforts: The major trends revealed in IFE are airline cabbage programs and aircraft manufacturers aiming to develop lightweight aircraft to minimize fuel consumption and emissions. Some examples include 2024 aluminum, and 7075 aluminum; these are strong materials much lighter than steel. Example: Boeing 787 Dream liner primarily uses more than 70% lightweight material of aluminum-lithium alloys than conventional aluminum alloys, thereby reducing fuel consumption by 20%.

 

Increasing Trend in Space Travel and Exploration: The growing frequency of satellite launches and space exploration evokes the need for aluminum, an effective material capable of sustaining high temperatures and stress. For example, SpaceX's Falcon 9 rockets have to be made extra strong, especially during the stage of liftoff and during reentry into the Earth’s atmosphere; to this end, SpaceX has been known to use aluminum-lithium alloys in their construction.

 

Market Opportunities

Some emerging markets in the Asia-Pacific region and the Middle East: High growth rates and the concentration of population in megacities in Asia-Pacific and the Middle East promote aerospace sector development and aluminum suppliers’ opportunities. For example, India recently disclosed that it intends to build over 100 new airports by 2030, automatically introducing demand for aluminum-intensive aircraft.

 

Recent Development in Aluminum Alloys: Technological advancements have seen the emergence of high-performance aluminum-lithium alloys with higher tensile strength, improved corrosion resistance, and longer fatigue life. These advances are displaying opportunities for aerospace utilization in the future. Example: In 2022, Alcoa launched a third-generation aluminum-lithium alloy that is 7% lighter and 15% stronger than its predecessors, and it is best suited for aircraft frames and wings.

 

Sustainability Initiatives: Aerospace manufacturers prefer secondary aluminum because it saves energy; recycling aluminum uses only five percent of the energy required to manufacture primary aluminum. Example: Airbus worked with Constellium in 2023 to develop advanced recycling technology for aluminum to promote aircraft manufacture sustainably.

Segment Analysis

Leading Type: Aluminum-Lithium Alloys

Aluminium-lithium alloys have garnered a dominant market share because of their benefits, such as lightweight, high stiffness, and improved fatigue strength. These alloys are well suited for fuselages and wings in current-generation aircraft designs. Example: Airbus chose Alcoa’s AL3000 aluminum-lithium alloy for its A350 XWB program and expected to save up to 1500kg per aircraft.

 

Leading Application: Fuselage

The fuselage segment has the highest market share because it incorporates most of the aluminum, and weight, strength, and passenger safety are vital in this segment. Example: The Boeing 737 is one of the commercial aircraft that still incorporates aluminum in its structure; 80% of the fuselage's structure is made of aluminum.

 

Leading Aircraft Type: Commercial Aircraft

Commercial aircraft is the biggest and fastest-growing segment due to increasing global air travel and additions to existing airline fleets. Example: According to Airbus, by 2040, new aircraft requirements are estimated to be more than 39000; aluminum plays a vital role in these planes.

 

Leading Region: North America

North America stands out, with growth stimulated by key players such as Boeing and Lockheed Martin and continually high military budgets in the USA. Example: According to the projections for the year 2023, the U.S. aerospace industry was directly responsible for more than half of the world’s aircraft output, which positively influenced the need for aerospace aluminum.

 

Europe is second largest market through production facilities and commitments to green Aviation. Example: Airbus has set out to reach the Hyundai ZEROe project, which aims to start testing aircraft run by hydrogen in 2035, using lightweight metals called aluminum-lithium alloys.

 

Asia-Pacific is the most dynamic region, and its growth is pegged on increasing air passenger traffic and enhanced local content space programs. For example, the Indian Air Force's HAL Tejas light multirole fighter aircraft and China’s COMAC C919 commercial aircraft use considerable aluminum alloys for their airframe parts.
