Aerospace Milled Parts Market Report
Aerospace Milled Parts Market Size, Share, Trend, Forecast, Competitive Analysis, and Growth Opportunity: 2023-2028
Aerospace milled parts are produced through milling processes, where a rotating cutting tool removes material from a workpiece to create the desired shape or feature. These parts are commonly used in the construction of aircraft, and they can be made from various materials, including metals like aluminum, titanium, stainless steel, and their alloys. Aerospace milled parts can range from simple brackets and fittings to complex components such as engine mounts, wing ribs, turbine blades, and structural frames. The milling process allows for precise shaping, intricate detailing, and the creation of tight tolerances, ensuring the parts meet the demanding requirements of the aerospace industry. Furthermore, developments in the milling process offer excellent benefits, such as accuracy in finishing, uniformity in design, reduction in lead time, ease in manufacturing complex parts, reduction in manpower, and minimal chances of error.

Rapid advancements in the milling process, i.e., from conventional milling machines to advanced CNC (Computer Numerical Control) milling machines and high-speed machining centers, have paved the way for milled parts in the aerospace industry. These advancements have also helped the industry to achieve its main objective of optimizing metal removal rates and minimizing chatter.
During the COVID pandemic in 2020, there was a colossal drop in the overall aerospace industry due to factors such as the massive drop in air travel as a result of the lockdown measures implemented by several countries across the globe. The unprecedented drop in air travel had not only reduced airlines’ revenue but also added the extra cost of grounding their huge aircraft fleets. As a whole, the pandemic left the aerospace industry in shambles, disrupting the entire supply chain of the airline business, resulting in stock fallout and the bankruptcies of several regional airlines, leading to consolidation in the regional aviation market. The demand for milled parts in the industry more or less acted similarly, witnessing a massive decline of -41% in 2020.
Post pandemic, primarily driven by growing air travel demands and expanding airline fleets, the aerospace milled parts market recorded substantial growth during 2020-2021 and 2021-2022, marking the industry’s recovery. It is also expected that the market would follow a sequential growth pattern in the years to come, ultimately helping the industry stakeholders cross their pre-pandemic levels by 2025. Overall, the aerospace milled parts market is set to grow at an efficacious CAGR of 6.8% over the next five years to reach US$ 30.7 Billion in 2028.

Based on the application type, the market is segmented into metal airframe, engine, landing gear, and others. Among these application types, engine is expected to remain the most dominant application in the market during the forecast period. Some of the major milled engine parts are turbine blisks, turbine blades, fuel nozzles, exhaust ducts and cones, impellers, combustion casings, and fan discs. Engine is also expected to witness the fastest growth in the years to come, mainly driven by a handful of engines, such as LEAP, GE9X, GEnx, PW F135, PW1000G, and Rolls-Royce Trent XWB and 7000.
Based on the material type, the market is segmented into aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, and other metals and alloys. Among these material types, aluminum is expected to remain the most dominant material type in the market during the forecast period, whereas titanium is likely to witness the fastest growth during the same period. Key factors for aluminum’s dominance are its excellent track record of over eight decades, lower density, anti-corrosive properties, high malleability, and ductility, and being more economical than its competitive materials, such as titanium. On the other hand, titanium is gaining preference in the market owing to its various benefits, such as high strength-to-weight ratio, high corrosion and heat resistance, and higher compatibility with composite materials. The market for titanium material is majorly propelled through its increased penetration in next-generation aircraft programs, such as the B787 and A350XWB.
Based on the end-user type, the market is segmented into OE and aftermarket. OE is expected to remain the most dominant segment of the market during the forecast period, whereas aftermarket is likely to be the fastest-growing end-user type during the same period. Commercial aircraft (which include narrow-body and wide-body aircraft) account for the majority of the OE sales for aircraft milled parts.
