Global aerospace trade volumes are rising, and a higher growth rate is expected in the near future. As the aerospace sector is growing, the demand for honeycomb core materials is also expected to grow during the forecast period.

Geography - Segment Analysis
Asia Pacific held the largest share in the Honeycomb Core Materials market in 2019, up to 30%, owing to the increasing demand from packaging industries and improving economic conditions. The growing demand for honeycomb core materials from the Asia-Pacific region is mainly due to developing countries in the region, such as China, India and South Korea. In addition, According to the Association of Asia-Pacific Airlines (AAPA) passenger traffic is expected to increase up to 40% of the global passenger traffic, by 2036. Hence, the increasing demand for aircraft is expected to drive the demand for honeycomb core materials in the region, during the forecast period. 

Drivers – Honeycomb Core Materials Market

  • Expanding interest of lightweight materials
The growing interest in lightweight materials in various end-customer enterprises, such as aviation, barrier and marine enterprises, has driven the interest in honeycomb core materials in recent times. Weight is the most important consideration in the design and manufacture of machines such as automotive, marine, aircraft and others. Honeycomb core materials assumed a noteworthy part in weight decrease in both auxiliary applications and segments in flying machines. Therefore, its demand is increasing from various end use industries.

Challenges – Honeycomb Core Materials Market 

  • Structural limitations of honeycomb core materials
Honeycomb core shapes are difficult to model and also difficult to manufacture which are computationally expensive. Therefore, core material may be replaced by a simple equivalent volume having elastic orthotropic properties, which acts as a restrain in the honeycomb core market growth. In addition, the high cost of nomex honeycomb core is also limiting market growth.
