Aerospace Adhesives Market

Market Overview:

The global aerospace adhesives market size reached US$ 656.9 Million in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 903.2 Million by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5% during 2023-2028.

Aerospace adhesives are used for structural sealant purposes in the interior, exterior, engine compartment, and other components of aircraft, such as transducer seals, fuel assemblies, electronic assemblies, metal and fiber composites, antennas, optical fibers, and sensors. These adhesives provide high bond strength, resistance to cyclic fatigue, excellent peel strength, superior durability and toughness, exceptional compressive strength, and high glass transition temperatures. They also improve the distribution of stresses over bonded joints, protect against corrosion, enhance aerodynamics, deliver smooth contours, save time, lower weight, and decrease costs. Presently, the most common substrates for aerospace adhesive bonding are wood, aluminum, titanium, stainless steel, and composite materials, such as bonded sandwich structures, fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) laminates, and fiber metal laminates (FML).

Aerospace Adhesives Market Trends:

The increasing air passenger traffic worldwide, along with the rising focus on improving the performance of aircraft structures to ensure safe and reliable air travel, represents one of the key factors bolstering the market growth. Apart from this, increasing government spending on the modernization of military aircraft is driving the need for customized aerospace adhesives with exceptional characteristics. Besides this, aerospace adhesives are widely preferred over mechanical fasteners like bolts or screws to maintain structural integrity and weight factors and achieve certain aesthetic design or functional benefits. Moreover, manufacturers are offering innovative grades of aerospace adhesives that exhibit impact and micro-crack resistance, withstand numerous chemicals, and help sustain performance in extreme operating environments. These adhesives also have outstanding resistance to aviation gasoline, jet fuel, and petroleum products and offer excellent flexibility and strength to advanced composites and coatings. Such innovations are anticipated to provide a positive thrust to the market.
