Aerospace Plastic Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Polymer Type (PEEK, PMMA, PC, PPS, ABS, Others), By Air Craft Type (Commercial, Business & General, Rotary, Military), By Application (Windshield, Cabin Windows, Cabin Lighting, Overhead Storage Bin, Others) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Aerospace plastics is a type of lightweight plastic with exceptional acoustic, chemical and thermal resistance and are used in aircrafts. These plastic have high mechanical strength, heat and radiation resistance, specific strength, better processing and low maintenance. Weight reduction is one of the major factors considered in aircraft engineering. Use of aerospace plastic allows optimization of total weight further enhancing the performance of the aircraft.

Aircrafts are designed cautiously with weight and balance system. Proper distribution of weight and high mechanical strength is required to ensure easy and safe flight. Increasing demand for aerospace plastic which are lighter in weight but bear high strength is expected to drive the market. Additionally, aircrafts are exposed to various factors like harsh weather, heat and UV radiations, turbulence and others. plastic have superior resistant properties towards chemicals, radiations, heat and corrosion. This is anticipated to positively impact the demand for aerospace plastic further driving market growth.

However, these advanced engineered plastics involve reinforcement of fibers. High cost associated with production of these plastics is expected to hinder market growth.
