Based on our research output, there has been a neutral impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The increasing use of lightweight materials is notably driving the aerospace plastics market growth, although factors such as fluctuation in raw material prices may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on the aerospace plastics industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Aerospace Plastics Market Driver
The increasing use of lightweight materials is one of the key factors driving the growth of the global aerospace plastics market. The use of lightweight materials is increasing in the aerospace industry. Various lightweight materials used in the automotive industry are high-strength steel, aluminum, composites, magnesium, and plastics. The major driver for the growth of lightweight materials in the aerospace industry is the production of fuel-efficient and low-emission aircraft. With the increasing awareness of climate change and environmental issues, coupled with the rising fuel cost, the aerospace industry is trying to save on the operation cost by demanding lightweight aircraft. Aluminum has a density of 2.7 g/cm³, whereas high-performance polymers have a density of around 1.3 g/cm³. This difference helps in gaining significant weight savings. Airbus uses lightweight materials in the horizontal tail of the Airbus A340. In this way, the company is able to reduce its weight by 50% and cost by 30%. Thus, to increase fuel efficiency and comply with environmental regulations, aerospace component manufacturers are mainly focusing on lightweight materials.
Key Aerospace Plastics Market Trend
The growing introduction of additive manufacturing will fuel the global aerospace plastics market growth. The aerospace industry is one of the major adopters of additive manufacturing for aircraft component manufacturing. Additive manufacturing is contributing to the aerospace industry by effectively manufacturing highly complex geometrical components, faster production of replacement parts, and faster improvement of the current design for better improvements. In the additive manufacturing process, components are built up layer by layer based on 3D printing. This reduces weight, increases fuel efficiency, and reduces material use. Siemens is using additive manufacturing in many applications to print components for Etihad passenger planes. They have a collaboration with Strata Manufacturing, an aircraft parts manufacturer. Siemens is supporting Strata Manufacturing with the technical knowledge and consulting for the manufacturing of monitor shrouds using 3D printing technology. They are using materials such as plastics and metals. Such factors will increase the market growth during the forecast period.
Key Aerospace Plastics Market Challenge
The fluctuation in raw material prices is a major challenge for the global aerospace plastics market growth. The price fluctuation of raw materials, including crude oil, has a negative impact on the market vendors as they rely heavily on crude oil during the manufacturing process. High prices of oil increase the production cost of petroleum-based products, including plastics. For instance, the price of polypropylene hiked over 4.5% in December 2016, following a hike in the prices of crude oil in India. In 2019, the average crude oil price was $56.99/barrel, which decreased to $39.68/barrel in 2020 due to the COVID-19 outbreak and increased to $58.30/barrel by March 2021. Thus, the changing prices will have a negative impact, leading to an increase in the lead time and thereby increasing the price of the final product. However, owing to the high volatility in the prices of crude oil and natural gas, aerospace plastic manufacturers are setting high prices for the products to gain a healthy margin. The rise in prices of raw materials increases production cost and decreases product demand in the market.

COVID Impact and Recovery Analysis
The COVID-19 outbreak in North America negatively impacted the regional market in 2020. The rising number of COVID-19 cases in the region caused a temporary closure of transportation of non-essential items such as aerospace plastics. This resulted in a disruption of the distribution network in the region, which led to a decline in the growth of the market in 2020. However, the redesigned distribution network in the region in Q4 2020 is likely to boost market growth during the forecast period.
