Emerging Economies to Dominate the Market Demand in Future

Until the years preceding 2021, the United States had the biggest volume of market share of more than 35%. The United States government's greater emphasis on military capability in the last few years is fueling the expansion of the aerospace adhesives and sealants industry in the country. Moreover, in the long run, rising defense spending and the export of fighter as well as commercial aircraft from the US are expected to offer major growth possibilities for aerospace adhesives and sealants and their supply chains.

Contrastingly, in terms of volume, Asia-Pacific countries are expected to increase at a 6.5% annual rate from 2022 to 2032. The regional aerospace adhesives and sealants markets in China, India, and Japan are the major drivers and their fast expansion of air passenger traffic and the need for new defense aircraft is projected to give rise to new market opportunities and trends in the coming days.

However, China is expected to majorly drive the regional expansion with a requirement for 8,090 additional aircraft over the next 10 to 20 years. On the other hand, India is anticipated to create new prospects for global aerospace adhesive and sealants market providers as well. Demand for aerospace adhesives and sealants in India is anticipated to be fueled by investments in R&D and the export of fighter jets to other developing nations of Asia.

Aerospace adhesives and sealants are unique from regular adhesives and sealants because they are continuously exposed to high temperatures and sizable pressure gradients. High-performance resins like epoxy, polyurethane, silicone, and hybrid polymers are used in the aircraft sector to provide essential waterproofing, filling, bonding, and sealing.

A rising passenger growth across the globe is expected to raise the need for adhesives and sealants goods. Adhesives and sealants are used extensively in the manufacturing of airplanes. Interior aircraft applications include holding agents, thread lockers, and hydraulic thread systems. Adhesive products are also required for the production of exterior applications such as door moldings, wing spars, and panels.

The use of composites is expanding, which is driving up demand for adhesives and sealants. It's also expected that applications like primary and secondary assembly in aircraft will present a lot of opportunities for suppliers. Another attractive area in the market for aircraft adhesives and sealants is customization according to the manufacturer's requirements. According to the needs of aircraft applications, adhesive producers are able to customize qualities like toughness, viscosity, longer work time, and quicker cure time. The increased preference for lighter assembly joints over heavier ones like mechanical fasteners, screws, and weld joints may ultimately result in a decrease in fuel costs. As can be observed, fuel costs for airlines have fallen by around 40% over the last ten years. As a result, it will increase demand for adhesives and sealants in the approaching years.

Historical (2017-21) v/s Forecast (2022-32) Market Outlook for Aerospace Adhesives and Sealants Market

The market for aerospace adhesives and sealants grew at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6% from 2017 to 2021. Due to restrictions on the import and export of materials brought on by the Covid-19 epidemic, the aerospace industry has experienced problems such as delays in the delivery of adhesives and sealants from the producers. The lack of vessels and blank sailing are also having a significant impact on shipment orders. In addition, the COVID-19 epidemic is having a significant effect on the aviation sector. An abrupt halt in aircraft production has caused a significant loss in the whole aerospace industry.

It is anticipated that the market for aerospace adhesives and sealants will grow more quickly than in the past. The market is predicted to expand at a CAGR of 5.1% over the anticipated time period. due to the aerospace industries' rising demand for adhesives and sealants. The physical characteristics of adhesives and sealants, such as their great protection from heat and substance reactions, contribute to their widespread use in the aviation sector. The need for adhesives and sealants products is projected to increase with rising passenger growth around the world. Boeing projects that the global aerospace and defense market will grow from $8.1 trillion in 2019 to $8.7 trillion during the following ten years. The aircraft adhesives and sealants market is predicted to increase significantly as the aerospace sector expands.

Market Dynamics

Significant Market Traction from Aerospace Industry.

The aviation industry is growing throughout a number of continents, including Europe, North America, and Asia Pacific. According to the International Trade Administration, the Indian government contributed $645 to the civil aviation sector in the previous year (ITA). Boeing also forecasts that India will be the primary driver of demand for 2,300 aircraft valued at US$320 billion over the next 20 years.

For Instance, in 2018, the civil aerospace market in the United Kingdom brought in around $44.6 billion, accounting for almost 17% of the global market. In addition, the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) intends to invest $7 billion over the next five years in MROs and aviation-related industries in Thailand. Additionally, the aircraft industry's expansion is a major market driver for adhesives and sealants because the aerospace sector commonly substitutes them for mechanical fasteners like bolts or screws.

Increasing Government Initiatives on Defense Aerospace

Many governments, including those of Brazil, Norway, and Thailand, are making significant investments in the nation's defense industry. The Norwegian government announced a core defense spending budget of USD 6.9 billion for 2019 in accordance with the International Trade Administration (ITA). In 2018, Norwegian defense expenditure made up 1.62% of Norway's GDP. The proposed budget for defense in Brazil for 2019 is about $30 billion. The demand for the defense aerospace industry is also rising as a result of significant Brazilian defense strategic projects like the KC-390 aircraft, Grippen AM-X aircraft upgrade, and the Space System Strategic Program directed by the Brazilian Air Force.

The Thai government spent over $7.3 billion, or 1.29% of the nation's GDP, on the military in 2019. The Royal Thai Air Force is given a budgetary allotment of 18.32% for defense. As a result, the demand for aerospace adhesives and sealants will increase considerably along with the government's rising endeavors to develop a top-notch defense infrastructure sector in their nation, which propels the aerospace adhesives and sealants market throughout the forecast period.

Certain Drawbacks to constrain the growth of Aerospace Adhesives and Sealants

Adhesives and sealants have a number of disadvantages. Adhesives' drawbacks include diminishing durability at high temperatures, making it harder to separate objects during testing, and a relative weakness in connecting large objects with a tiny bonding surface area. The adhesives are also made of polymer-based components and only silicone-based adhesives are more temperature-resistant than other adhesives.

Due to their propensity to absorb water, polyurethane-based sealants have a limited shelf life and typically take longer to cure. For polyurethane-based sealants, more complicated handling and curing techniques are needed. As a result, during the anticipated period, the aerospace adhesives and sealants market will be constrained by these negative aspects of adhesives and sealants.
