Market Dynamics

Introduction:

What is aerospace prepreg?

Aerospace Prepreg is a specialized composite material used extensively in aircraft and spacecraft manufacturing. It combines fibers like carbon or glass with a resin matrix that is pre-impregnated, meaning the resin is already infused into the fibers before application.

This setup allows for precise control over resin content, resulting in stronger, lighter, and more durable components. The prepreg process involves laying these sheets into molds, then curing them under heat and pressure to form solid, high-performance parts. These materials are essential for building lightweight structures that meet strict safety and performance standards in aerospace applications.

Market Drivers:

• Rising aircraft production, fleet renewals, and composite-rich platforms (next-gen single-aisles, long-range twins, business jets), which increase demand for high-volume, certified prepreg systems.

• Growing Aerospace defense and space programs, plus new segments such as eVTOL/UAM and advanced UAVs, which prefer high-performance prepregs for strength, stiffness, and lightweight advantages.

• Sustainability and circularity pressure, pushing R&D into recyclable thermoplastic prepregs, lower-energy cure systems, and materials with improved lifecycle impacts, creating new prepreg formulations and market niches.

Segment Analysis

By Platform Type

• Based on the platform type, Stratview Research has segmented the market into commercial aircraft, military aircraft, regional aircraft, general aviation, spacecraft, and UAVs. Despite logging a massive decline in 2020, commercial aircraft is expected to maintain its indubitable lead in the market, followed by a quick recovery in the year ahead.

• Both Boeing and Airbus have huge order backlogs of 12,724 aircraft (Airbus: 7,539 and Boeing: 5,185) as of July 2020. Irkut and COMAC, the newcomers in the commercial aerospace industry, also hold excellent order backlogs for their upcoming commercial aircraft programs, which is likely to further substantiate the demand for prepreg in the commercial aircraft segment in the long run. Though UAV occupies a low share in the market, it is likely to offer consequential growth opportunities in the next five years.

By Resin Type

• Based on the resin type, we have segmented the market as epoxy prepreg, BMI prepreg, cyanate ester prepreg, PI prepreg, PPS prepreg, PEEK prepreg, PEI prepreg, and others. Epoxy prepreg is expected to remain the most dominant resin system in the market, whereas BMI prepreg is expected to rebound at the fastest rate post-pandemic during the forecast period. 

• Epoxy resins bond well with reinforcements such as carbon fiber and glass fiber. Also, the resin system offers excellent interlaminar strength, excellent mechanical properties, good chemical resistance, and high electrical insulation, which make it a preferred resin system for a wide array of applications, including fuselage, wings, control surfaces, and interior applications.

Regional Analysis

• In terms of regions, North America is expected to remain the largest market for aerospace prepreg during the forecast period. The USA is the growth engine of the region’s market with the presence of major aircraft OEMs, tier players, raw material suppliers, and part fabricators. Most of the major prepreg manufacturers have their presence in the region to address the emergent needs of the OEMs.

• With the relatively low decline combined with the fastest recovery, Asia-Pacific is likely to remain the most attractive region, offering a pool of opportunities in the long-term. Other key factors likely to cause a stir in the region’s market are the opening of assembly plants of Boeing and Airbus in China and the upcoming indigenous commercial and regional aircraft. India is to be the new growth engine, actively developing policies to welcome companies willing to move away from China.
