Segment Insights & Market Share Analysis of the Aerospace Metal Matrix Composites Market:

The global aerospace metal matrix composites market is segmented based on platform type, application type, matrix type, reinforcement type, reinforcement form type, process type, and region.

Based on application type –

·        The aerospace metal matrix composites market is segmented into airframes, engine components, landing gears, avionics, and others. 

·        Airframe is expected to remain the largest application type in the market, whereas avionics is likely to remain the fastest during the forecast period. The airframe is subject to repetitive loading and unloading cycles, which can lead to fatigue failure over time.

·        MMC has demonstrated good fatigue resistance, extending the operational lifespan of aircraft. MMC also offers a high strength-to-weight ratio, high structural integrity, excellent corrosion resistance, and high-temperature performance, which makes it highly attractive for airframe applications.

Based on platform type 

·        The market is segmented into civil aircraft, military aircraft, and space. 

·        Civil aircraft is anticipated to remain the largest and fastest-growing aircraft type in the market during the forecast period. Increasing the production rate of key aircraft programs, the introduction of fuel-efficient aircraft, the entry of new aircraft programs, and growing fleet size are key factors fuelling market growth during the forecast period.

·        Landing gears are manufactured using metal matrix composites in the best-selling aircraft B787. Also, the growing utilization of metal matrix composites in the space industry is poised to stimulate market expansion. Key applications in this category include space shuttle orbiters, Hubble space telescopes, communication systems, and spacecraft structures.

Based on matrix type 

·        The market is segmented into aluminum, titanium, and others. 

·        Aluminum is expected to persist as the foremost matrix type in the market during the forecast period. It is often favored in the aerospace industry due to its low weight and cost-effectiveness properties.

·        Titanium is expected to remain the fastest-growing matrix type in the market during the forecast period owing to its numerous advantages, such as its high-strength-to-weight ratio, high tensile and compressive strength, low coefficient of thermal expansion, and high fatigue resistance.

Based on reinforcement type 

·        The market is segmented into silicon carbide, aluminum oxide, and others. 

·        Silicon carbide is poised to uphold its prominent status as the dominant reinforcement type in the market during the forecast period owing to its lightweight, high strength and stiffness, high-temperature resistance, abrasion, fatigue, and corrosion resistance properties.

Based on reinforcement form type 

·        The market is segmented into continuous, discontinuous, and particulate. 

·        Continuous reinforcement is projected to remain dominant in the market during the forecast period, as it provides a high level of strength and stiffness to the composite material, which is crucial for structural components in aircraft that need to withstand high loads and stresses.
