“The Aerospace Composite Ducting Market was estimated atUS$ 417.1 million in 2022and is expected to grow at a healthyCAGR of 10.7%during 2023-2028 to reachUS$ 810.2 million by 2028.”
In the aerospace industry, ducting is a vital component of fluid conveyance and air management systems. Ducting facilitates the distribution of critical fluids and air throughout the aircraft, thus, ensuring proper temperature regulation, ventilation, fluid, water, fuel flow, humidity or containment control, anti-icing, noise attenuation, etc. These are critical functions and failure of any can lead to fatal consequences.
Ducts are manufactured to meet the specific needs of the aircraft manufacturer or end user and are produced in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, lengths, and diameters with various connection options, to provide all those needed across the full spectrum of aircraft types.
COVID-19 Impact
In 2019, the grounding of B737Max proved to be a temporary hiccup in the industry’s exceptional growth trajectory, causing a short-term ripple effect across the B737 Max’s supply chain. As the industry stakeholders were eagerly waiting for the B737 MAX grounding storm to clear up, the virus that shut down the world, hit the industry like a tsunami, bringing in abrupt changes in the business. The pandemic and air travel restrictions shook the industry to the core, compelling industry participants to restructure their strategies and prioritize survival.
Despite several challenges including supply chain disruption, the Russo-Ukrainian war, etc., the year 2022 proved to be a promising year for the market participants. All the major leading aircraft manufacturers, such as Boeing and Airbus, have registered a drastic increase in production rates in the year 2022. Even, major airframers have planned to raise the production rate of the key aircraft programs shortly, ultimately aiming to recover the market by 2024.

By Platform Type
“Commercial aircraft dominates the market during the forecast period.”
The aerospace composite ducting market is segmented into commercial aircraft, regional aircraft, general aviation, helicopters, military aircraft, UAVs, and spacecraft. Commercial aircraft is projected to remain the largest and fastest-growing segment of the aerospace composite ducting market during the forecast period, driven by the ungrounding of the B737 Max, the ramp-up of Airbus A320 family monthly production, and the development of high-thrust engines.
A continuous shift from metal ducts to composite ducts in both low-pressure and high-pressure applications is another key factor giving a thrust to the segment’s market.
By Duct Type
“High-pressure ducting is likely to remain the fastest-growing duct type during the forecast period.”
Low-pressure applications dominate the global aerospace composite ducting market. Composite ducting is widely preferred in low-pressure applications throughout the entire breadth of fixed and rotary-wing aircraft types and offers several advantages, such as being lightweight, excellent strength, thermal resistance, and the ability to mold complex shapes.
By Reinforcement Type
“Glass fiber dominates the market during the forecast period.”
The market has been segmented as glass fiber composites, carbon fiber composites, and other composites. Glass fiber is the most widely used reinforcement type in the market and is expected to remain the largest reinforcement type over the next five years. This fiber type is highly preferred in low-pressure applications, such as cabin air recirculation and cabin sidewall riser as it offers good mechanical performance at a relatively lower cost.
Epoxy, phenolic, and thermoplastic resins are used along with glass fibers to manufacture ducting. Carbon fiber is likely to witness the highest growth over the next five years.
Regional Analysis
“North America is expected to remain the largest market for aerospace composite ducting assemblies over the next five years.”
The region is the manufacturing capital of the aerospace industry with the presence of several major players, such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Bombardier, and the presence of major composite ducting manufacturers.
Asia-Pacific is likely to experience the highest growth in the coming five years, driven by the commencement of commercial and regional aircraft manufacturing in China and Japan, upcoming indigenous aircraft, C919, and increasing defense spending.
