Aerospace Forging Market Growth Outlook | 2031

The Aerospace Forging Market size is projected to reach US$ 6.18 billion by 2031 from US$ 3.90 billion in 2023. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 6.0% in 2023–2031.

North America is a shelter for over 40% of the global helicopter fleet and therefore plans to purchase and replace the existing fleet with a new one in the coming few years. By doing this, the region is proficient to cater market requirements of aerospace. Replacing existing fleets with new helicopters will also boost the market of aerospace forging simultaneously. Some of the companies involved in the business of manufacturing and supplying aircraft engines and forging products include The Boeing Company, Patriot Forge Co., Scot Forge, United Technologies Corporation, and others.

Aerospace Forging Market Analysis

The aerospace forging market is likely to witness strong growth during 2023-2031. This demand for aerospace filters is mainly driven by the demand for aluminum and titanium alloys for the production of different components of aircraft such as fan cases, turbine discs, and rotors. Further, the rise in number of aircraft engine production is another major factor generating new demand for aerospace forgings across the world.

Aerospace Forging Market Overview

The aerospace forging market is likely to showcase vigorous growth during 2023-2031. The demand for the aerospace forging market is mainly driven by some of the below-mentioned factors:

• The rising aircraft engine production leading to the production of fan cases
• Rising global aircraft & helicopter production
• Demand from MRO of existing aircraft fleet
• Increasing production of military aircraft

These factors are likely to express a healthy growth of the aerospace forging market. Moreover, the US accounted for the largest share of the global aerospace forging market in 2023. The country is a leading manufacturer of general aviation equipment such as small aircraft, helicopters, and business jets. The aerospace industry of the country has observed a shift in manufacturing investment. The country currently accounts for more than 35% of global aircraft production. Further, the presence of some of the major aircraft OEMs, namely Boeing, Airbus, Bombardier, and Textron Inc. have their manufacturing bases established in the US. These renowned players also support the business of aerospace forging as the need for aerospace-forged products increases with an upsurge in the production of aircraft. Precision Metal Product Inc., Scot Forge, Fountaintown Forge, Pacific Forge Incorporated, Arconic Inc., and Mettis Aerospace Inc. are some of the significant players operating in the US aerospace forging market.

Aerospace Forging Market Drivers and Opportunities

Fabrication of Next-Generation Aircraft

Within the commercial aerospace industry, the production of next-generation single-aisle, large twin-aisle aircraft, and jet engines is predicted to be a booming factor. The next-generation jet engine uses advanced metallic powder alloys and nickel-based superalloys. It is an economic model of the aircraft, which helps in enhancing fuel efficiency and performance of an aircraft. For instance, Airbus and Boeing have received an order for the manufacturing of more than 40,000 aircraft. Production of massive next-generation aircraft will increase the market of aerospace components eventually. Moreover, the production of next-generation aircraft is forecasted to provide ample growth prospects to the aerospace component forging companies also.

Utilization of Used Serviceable Material (USM) is Likely to Boost the Aerospace Forging Market Size

With a continuous increase in air travel, the number of airplanes is rising substantially to fulfill the increasing demand of consumers. However, nearly 400 to 600 commercial aircraft in the current scenario are retired, aging, and disassembled each year, which results in creating a heap of waste. This massive amount of waste includes approximately 1000 tonnes of carbon fiber, 1800 tonnes of alloys, 30000 tonnes of aluminum, and 600 tonnes of other scrap materials. In context to rising concern towards the environment, aerospace firms such as Pratt & Whitney along with government bodies have identified new ways to replace the raw materials with recycled and renewable for the manufacturing of aerospace parts.

As per the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), it is expected that the service life of nearly 18,000 airplanes is expected to end over the coming 10-15 years of the rise in air traffic. Therefore, the use of recycled materials is expected to provide huge opportunities for aerospace forging companies. For instance, Boeing and Bharat Forge Ltd. have shown their interest in making an entry into the USM market. Moreover, in the Americas and Europe, the business of recycling provides huge opportunities to both aircraft manufacturers and aerospace forging companies. On the contrary, every country has its terms and conditions related to industries and their activities. For instance, earlier, Europe faced difficulties when it came to buying or recycling titanium. Hence, to eradicate this situation, EcoTitanium is the first unit to recycle aircraft-grade titanium alloys. This facility used advanced furnaces to recycle titanium, meanwhile lowering emission levels.
