Market Dynamics

Introduction:

What is aircraft extrusion?

Aircraft extrusion is a manufacturing process used to create long, continuous shapes of metal, most commonly aluminum, that are specifically designed for use in aircraft structures and components. In this process, heated metal is forced through a shaped die, producing parts with consistent cross-sectional profiles such as angles, channels, T-shapes, or tubes. These extrusions are then cut, machined, or formed into the required aircraft components.

Aircraft-grade extrusions are valued for their high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and precision. They are widely used in airframes, seat tracks, wing structures, fuselage sections, and interior fittings. Since aluminum alloys are lightweight yet strong, they dominate in extrusion applications, though titanium and other high-performance metals may also be used in critical areas. Aircraft extrusions help reduce weight while maintaining durability and structural integrity, which is essential for safe and efficient flight.

Segment Analysis

By Aircraft Type

“Narrow-body aircraft are anticipated to drive demand for extruded parts, whereas wide-body aircraft are expected to be the fastest-growing aircraft type in the market during the forecast period.”

• The aircraft extrusion market is primarily segmented into narrow-body aircraft, wide-body aircraft, regional aircraft, and business jets.
• Narrow-body aircraft are anticipated to drive demand for extruded parts due to their widespread utilization in regional and short-haul flights. Extruded plastics allow for the creation of complex, ergonomic designs and optimize space. A320 and B737 aircraft programs are the key demand generator for extruded plastics.
• High growth of the wide-body aircraft segment is fueled by increasing demand for long-haul travel and the expansion of international flight routes. High plastic content in the next-generation aircraft program, A350XWB, and B787 Dreamliner, also propelling the segment demand.
• Regional aircraft and business jet segments continue to generate fair demand for extruded plastics tailored for lightweight, high-durability applications and minimizing operational costs.

By Application Type

“Floor panels are likely to maintain the dominance in the aircraft extrusion market, whereas seats are expected to experience the fastest growth in the coming years.”

• The aircraft extrusion market is divided by application type into seats, galleys, stowages, floor panels, lavatories, and others.
• Floor panel plays an essential role in ensuring structural integrity and safety, supporting significant loads, and withstanding harsh flight conditions. Extruded plastics are favored in floor panel applications for their high strength, lightweight properties, and corrosion resistance.
• The seat segment is driven by an increasing demand for passenger comfort, customization, and fuel efficiency by reducing overall aircraft weight.
• Overall, the use of extruded plastics across these segments significantly enhances aircraft interiors by reducing weight, enabling innovative designs, and improving durability, resulting in a more comfortable and efficient cabin environment for passengers.

By Material Type

“Polyamide (PA) is anticipated to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period and is also expected to achieve the fastest growth during the same period.”

• The market is segmented into polyamide (PA), polycarbonate (PC), and Others.
• Polyamide (PA) is anticipated to maintain its dominance, due to its excellent strength, rigidity, toughness, dimensional stability, and exceptional chemical resistance.   
• Polycarbonate (PC) is utilized because of its high impact strength and optical clarity. It is used in several transparent applications, such as windows and lavatory components with high durability. The flame retardance of PC has also made it ideal to use in strict aviation safety standards.

By End-User Type

“OE is expected to remain dominant throughout the forecast period and is also projected to experience the fastest growth in the market during the same period.”

• The market is segmneted into OE and aftermarket.
• The OE segment is driven by the rising aircraft production to support the increasing air passenger traffic coupled with the expected entry of new aircraft programs such as B777x.
• The aftermarket segment is likely to maintain fair demand by 2034, due to the growing aircraft fleet size and rising demand for advanced lightweight interiors, which prompts the replacement of outdated interiors.

Regional Analysis

“North America is projected to retain its dominance during the forecast period, whereas Asia-Pacific is expected to experience the fastest growth in the market during the same period.”

• North America is the manufacturing hub of the aerospace industry led by the presence of OEMs like Boeing and Lockheed Martin; who ultimately drive the demand for extruded plastics.
• The Asia-Pacific region is witnessing a surge in air travel demand, fueled by a growing middle-class per capita income and the rise of low-cost carriers. Government initiatives and the rapid adoption of new manufacturing technologies further boost demand for extruded plastics in the region.
