The Aeroengine Composites Market refers to the production and application of composite materials used in aircraft engine components such as fan blades, fan cases, nacelles, and other structural parts. These composites—typically carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP), ceramic matrix composites (CMCs), and glass fiber composites—offer high strength-to-weight ratios, thermal resistance, and durability.
The growing use of composites in aeroengines is transforming modern aviation by enhancing fuel efficiency, reducing emissions, and improving overall performance. The market is primarily driven by rising aircraft production, technological advancements in composite manufacturing, and the aviation industry’s ongoing efforts to meet sustainability and performance goals.
The global aeroengine composites market was valued at USD 2.42 Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 12.4% from 2024 to 2033.
