These insights are included in the report as a major market contributor. 

Honeycomb sandwich is a structure used in automobile, space structures and aircraft flight control surfaces, such as aileron, spoiler, rudder, and flap. It is made using three layers wherein a low-density core is inserted between two relatively thin layers for reducing its weight and improving its mechanical properties. As it offers high strength, stiffness, and corrosive resistance, there is a rise in the adoption of these materials across the globe.

Honeycomb Sandwich Material Market Trends:

Increasing investments in satellite manufacturing, along with the growing production of aircraft, represents one of the key factors positively influencing the demand for honeycomb sandwich materials around the world. Moreover, their expanding application in the automotive and other end-use industries due to the lightweight attribute, which further helps in improving fuel efficiency, is strengthening the growth of the market. Apart from this, the escalating demand for durable and environment-friendly packaging solutions is also impelling the market growth. Furthermore, due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak and consequent implementation of lockdown restrictions, the manufacturing sector experienced a negative impact. This can be accredited to the complete shutdown of the manufacturing units of different industry verticals and hindrances caused in the distribution channel worldwide. As the sector plays a pivotal role in the economy of a country, governments of numerous countries are coming up to provide support. This, coupled with the rising development of new products, increasing supply agreements with other companies and acquisition of smaller companies by several players, is creating a positive outlook for the market. In addition, the rising usage of 3D printing to manufacture honeycomb panels is anticipated to fuel the market growth.
