Market Dynamics

Introduction:

What are aircraft potted-in inserts?

Potted-in inserts are mechanical fasteners embedded within materials like honeycomb panels in aircraft structures. Made from strong and corrosion-resistant materials such as steel or aluminum, these inserts are secured in place using a resin potting compound, which also protects them from corrosion. Potted-in inserts offer several advantages, including enhanced strength and durability, corrosion resistance, reduced vibration and noise, and ease of installation. As a result, potted-in inserts are expected to remain the preferred insert type for sandwich panels in the aircraft industry for the foreseeable future.

Segment Analysis

By Aircraft Type

“Narrow-body aircraft are expected to remain the largest demand generator, while wide-body aircraft are projected to be the fastest-growing aircraft type in the future.”

• The market is segmented based on the aircraft type into narrow-body aircraft, wide-body aircraft, regional aircraft, and general aviation.
• Narrow- and wide-body aircraft are expected to continue driving the growth of the aircraft potted-in insert market during the forecast period. The increasing production rates of key programs like the A320, A350, B787, and B737, along with the market entry of new players such as the COMAC C919, and a growing shift towards composite materials, are likely to provide a strong and sustainable growth platform for potted in inserts in the coming years.

By Application Type

“Cabin linings are expected to remain the dominant segment in the market over the coming years, while lavatories are projected to experience the fastest growth during the same period.”

• The market is segmented into galley panels, lavatory panels, stowage bin panels, floor panels, cabin linings, cargo liners, and other application types.
• Cabin linings are expected to remain the largest application in the market during the forecast period. This is because cabin linings, which include sidewall and ceiling panels of aircraft, cover the largest area of application for sandwich panels. Meanwhile, floor panels are anticipated to experience the fastest growth due to the rising demand for potted-in inserts for sandwich panels.

By Material Type

“Aluminum is expected to remain the most preferred material in the coming years, while plastics are projected to be the fastest-growing material during the same period.”

• The market is also segmented based on the material type into aluminum, steel, plastics, and other material types.
• Aluminum is expected to maintain its dominance in the market during the forecast period. It offers numerous advantages over competing metals, including excellent corrosion resistance, strong mechanical properties, and a lightweight nature. Aluminum's widespread usage across various aircraft components, such as the fuselage, control surfaces, interior, engine, and other applications, further supports its continued dominance in the industry.

By Core Material Type

“Nomex honeycomb is expected to remain both the dominant and the fastest-growing core material type of the market during the forecast period.”

• The market is segmented into nomex honeycomb, aluminum honeycomb, and other core material types.
• Nomex honeycomb is expected to remain the largest core material type in the market during the forecast period, driven by its superior fire, smoke, and toxicity (FST) performance, along with a higher strength-to-weight ratio. Additionally, it is lighter than other panels, such as aluminum honeycomb and balsa wood, further contributing to its dominance in the market.

Regional Analysis

“North America is expected to remain the dominant market over the years, while the Asia-Pacific region is projected to grow at the fastest rate during the same period.”

• The market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and The Rest of the World.
• North America is expected to remain the largest market for aircraft potted-in inserts during the forecast period, with healthy growth anticipated in the region. As the manufacturing hub of the aircraft industry, North America is home to numerous aircraft OEMs, tier suppliers, panel manufacturers, insert manufacturers, distributors, and raw material suppliers.
• Asia-Pacific is likely to experience the highest growth in the market during the same period, driven by factors such as the increasing commercial aircraft fleet size to accommodate rising passenger traffic, the establishment of Boeing and Airbus assembly plants in China, the upcoming indigenous COMAC C919 aircraft, and the overall growth of the aircraft fleet in the region.
