Dublin, Dec. 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Aerospace Sheet Distribution Market Size, Share, Trend, Forecast, Competitive Analysis, and Growth Opportunity: 2021-2026" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Sheets are flat pieces of metals that can be hot-rolled or cold-rolled. In the aerospace industry, aluminum sheets are the preferred choice of material as they offer an array of advantages over their archrivals. They are used in key applications such as fuselage and pressure cabin skins. The distribution channel plays a pivotal role in the entire aerospace raw materials (mill level) including sheets.
The aerospace industry faced momentary hurdles in 2019 and was expecting to start rebounding from 2020 onwards. However, the sudden outburst of the pandemic trashed the market participants' hopes of recuperation. The grave impact of the pandemic was felt across markets in the aerospace industry.
The aerospace sheet distribution market could not escape from the pandemic's wrath suffered a debilitating loss of over 30% in 2020. The unforeseen circumstances amid the pandemic shook the industry stakeholders to the core. Nevertheless, the resilient aerospace industry is likely to recoup from 2021 onwards, gradually and steadily heading towards a full recovery, a couple of years later. A similar impact is expected to reflect in the aerospace sheet distribution market, which is estimated to heal at a promising CAGR of 8.5% during the forecast period to reach US$ 614 million by 2026.
Cased on the platform type, the market is segmented as commercial aircraft, regional aircraft, general aviation, military aircraft, helicopter, and spacecraft. Commercial aircraft is projected to remain the largest as well as the fastest-growing segment of the market during the forecast period, even though the segment took a massive plunge in 2020. Rapidly recovering demand and production of aircraft, probable market entry of new aircraft such as C919 sooner rather than later, and an incessant requirement of mill products best suiting the application at hand, are the key reasons behind the segment's healthy growth in the long run.
Based on the material type, the market is segmented as titanium & alloys, aluminum & alloys, steel & alloys, and others. Aluminum & alloys grabbed the throne in the market in 2020 and are expected to maintain their indubitable lead throughout the forecast period. Aluminum sheets are more often used for aircraft fuselage and pressure cabin skins as they offer high-damage tolerance and a fair level of strength. On the other hand, titanium & alloys are likely to log the highest growth till 2026. There has been an increasing preference of OEMs/tier players to procure all materials including sheets, the most dominant material category, from distributors in order to have a smooth raw material supply.
In terms of regions, the aerospace hub, North America is expected to maintain its vanguard during the forecast period.
