·        In addition, the increasing use of polymer composites in the fan section of turbofan engines is enhancing overall engine performance by reducing weight and improving efficiency. This innovation is further boosting demand for high-performance aeroengine Casting, helping the turbofan segment grow even faster.

Based on application type –

·        The market is segmented into fans, compressor, combustion, turbine and other applications. 

·        Turbine applications continue their dominance and are expected to be the fastest-growing segment in the market driven by their critical role in modern engine performance. Turbine sections contain the largest number of cast components within an engine such as blades, vanes, shrouds, and nozzles. These parts feature complex geometries and operate under extreme conditions, requiring advanced casting techniques like investment casting and single-crystal casting to ensure optimal performance and durability.

·        Due to their exposure to high temperatures and intense mechanical stress, turbine components are typically made from nickel-based superalloys that demand specialized processing methods. These advanced materials and casting processes are essential to meet the stringent performance requirements of modern engines. The rising demand for fuel-efficient and high-thrust engines is driving growth in this segment, as turbine components are crucial for enhancing overall engine efficiency and performance.

Based on component type –

·        The market is segmented into airfoils and engine structures. 

·        Airfoils are expected to remain the leading component of the market and are also projected to grow at a faster pace. Airfoils play a vital role in engines by extracting energy from high-temperature, high-pressure gases and turning it into mechanical power. They are the most complex and performance-critical parts in an engine, with intricate shapes and tough material requirements, making them ideal for investment casting. Airfoils are made from high-strength, lightweight alloys that can withstand extreme engine environments such as high rotational speeds, elevated temperatures, and severe fatigue stresses, making them critical to aeroengine durability and performance.

·        Each engine contains dozens or even hundreds of airfoils across different sections, including the high-pressure turbine, low-pressure turbine, and compressor. Their essential function and wide use make them a major part of the aeroengine Casting market. On the other hand, engine structures also grabbed a fair share of the market in 2024, supported by the growing use of monolithic investment casting for other key parts like bearing housings and fan frames. This approach simplifies engine assembly, strengthens overall structure, and supports the development of next-generation engines that are lighter, more efficient, and easier to maintain.

Based on process type –

·        The market is segmented into investment casting and die & other casting. 

·        Investment casting is expected to remain the most preferred casting process, maintaining its dominance while also registering the faster growth during the forecast period. Investment casting is a key technology in the aeroengine industry because it can produce very complex shapes with high precision. This is especially important for critical parts like turbine blades and vanes, which need to perform under extreme heat and stress. The process works well with tough materials like nickel alloys, titanium alloys, and stainless steel, ideal for the hot sections of an engine. It also reduces the need for extra finishing work by delivering excellent accuracy and surface quality from the start, which helps save both time and cost.

·        Investment casting can create parts with thin walls, detailed shapes, and even features like small holes or slots. That makes it perfect for building the high-performance components that modern engines demand. This casting method continues to lead the aeroengine Casting market due to its ability to meet these high standards. As the demand for advanced engines rises, leading aerospace companies are putting more effort into research and development to improve casting methods and materials, so they can keep up with the fast-moving industry.

Based on material type –

·        The market is segmented into nickel parts, titanium parts, stainless steel parts, and other material-based parts. 

·        Nickel is projected to remain the dominant material type, while titanium is anticipated to witness the fastest growth in the coming years. Nickel dominates more than half of the aircraft engine casting market thanks to its excellent strength and resistance to heat and corrosion, making it ideal for the extreme conditions inside a jet engine. Nickel-based alloys are widely used in the investment casting of aeroengine parts like airfoils, bearing supports, inner diffusers, and turbine frames. On average, a single engine contains about 1.8 tons of nickel alloys, making up roughly 50% of its total weight. Investment casting, along with forging, remains one of the most common methods used to shape these tough materials.

·        Titanium is also gaining attention due to its high strength, low weight, and ability to withstand heat. These qualities make it ideal for improving engine performance, extending part life, and helping reduce the overall weight of the aircraft. In fact, over half of all titanium Casting produced globally are used in aerospace applications where strength and weight savings are critical. There is an increasing adoption of titanium Casting in several modern jet engine programs, making titanium the fastest-growing material in the aircraft engine casting market.
