Dublin, Sept. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Aerospace Composites Market by Fiber Type (Glass Fiber, Carbon Fiber, Ceramic Fiber), Matrix Type (Polymer Matrix Composite, Metal Matrix Composite, Ceramic Matrix Composite), Manufacturing Process, Aircraft Type, Applications & Region - Forecast to 2030" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The aerospace composites market is poised to expand significantly, growing from an estimated USD 30.3 billion in 2025 to USD 53.4 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 12%. Key market drivers include the increasing need for lightweight, high-performance materials in aviation and space exploration.
Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) hold the largest market share by value. Their exceptional performance characteristics, including a high strength-to-weight ratio and superior fatigue resistance, make them ideal for aircraft structural components. PMCs significantly enhance fuel efficiency and reduce emissions, providing excellent corrosion resistance and design flexibility. Innovations in resin systems and manufacturing techniques such as out-of-autoclave curing and automated fiber placement are propelling their use in both commercial and military aviation platforms.
The lay-up manufacturing process ranks third in value within the aerospace composites market. This versatile method remains prominent for its ability to produce complex parts with different fiber orientations. Popular for large, custom components like fairings and panels, recent improvements in automation and tooling have bolstered the efficiency and quality of lay-up processes, maintaining their significance even in modern aircraft development.
Europe is set to lead the aerospace composites market throughout the forecast period. The region's position is strengthened by substantial investment in material R&D and robust aerospace enterprises like Airbus, Rolls-Royce, and Dassault Aviation. Government and private sector spending on space exploration, coupled with the growth of the tourism and air travel industries, is escalating the demand for commercial aircraft. Collaborative initiatives such as Clean Sky and Horizon Europe are advancing the development of next-gen, sustainable composites, reinforcing Europe's hub status.
