As per Stratview Research,upcoming commercial and regional aircraft, such as COMAC C919 and Mitsubishi MRJ; rising requirement of lightweight and durable products in interior applications fueled by the introduction of stringent government regulations related to reduction in fuel consumption and mitigate emissions; advancement in technology; increasing global aircraft fleet size; and growing awareness to improve passengers’ experience are the major growth drivers of the market.


Narrow-body aircraft is expected to remain the largest segment of sandwich panel market in the aircraft interior applications during the forecast period of 2018 to 2023. Whereas, wide-body aircraft is likely to witness the highest growth during the same period, driven by an increasing demand for wide-body aircraft, such as B787 and A350XWB in the developing economies, such as China and India. There is also a healthy demand for wide-body aircraft in the Middle-East region.


OE is likely to remain the largest end-user type during the forecast period, driven by an increasing demand for commercial and regional aircraft across regions. Both the OE and aftermarket segments are likely to witness healthy growth rates over the next five years.


In terms of core material type, Nomex honeycomb is projected to remain the largest and fastest-growing core material type in the market during the forecast period, driven by its superior FST performance, higher corrosion resistance, and higher strength-to-weight ratio at relatively low weight in comparison with aluminum honeycomb.


As per the study, North America is projected to remain the largest aircraft interior sandwich panel market during the forecast period. This region has been the pioneer in the aerospace industry with the presence of several small- to large-sized OEMs. Infact, major sandwich panel manufacturers are in the region to support OEMs for the development of advanced products meeting emerging requirements of airlines. However, Asia-Pacific is expected to witness the highest growth during the same period. Largest commercial aircraft fleet size; gradual shift of manufacturing/assembly plants of OEMs; and upcoming indigenous commercial and regional aircraft, such as COMAC C919, ARJ21, and MRJ, fueled by increasing passenger traffic will continue to drive the Asia-Pacific’s market in the coming years.

The global market for aircraft interior sandwich panel market is moderately consolidated. Zodiac Aerospace, The Gill Corporation, B/E Aerospace (now Rockwell Collins), Euro-Composites Corp., FACC AG, Jamco Corporation, and Triumph Composite Systems are some of the major players in the aircraft interior sandwich panel market. New product development, adoption of advanced lightweight materials, and collaboration with OEMs are some of the key strategies adopted by the major companies to gain a competitive edge over others.
