Drivers & Restraints:

Superior Qualities of Materials to Increase Market Growth

The material holds a significant value in the aerospace industry due to its excellent flexibility and weight reduction features. These lightweight materials may increase massive fuel efficiency and increase profitability. Hence, structural components made of materials are in high demand in the aerospace industry. These materials are used in structural manufacturing methods such as infusion, wet lamination, prepreg, RTM, press bonding, and vacuum bagging. Landing gear doors, interior components, floor beams, floorboards, and flight control surfaces are manufactured using these methods.

On the contrary, these materials are usually made of PET, PVC, and wood. The U.K. and a few other countries have imposed rules and regulations on manufacturing these polymers and cutting wood. These factors may impede the core materials market growth.
