The market recovered significantly, owing to the rise in consumption of aramid fibers in automotive, electrical, and electronics end-user industries.
- Over the short term, the increasing demand for lightweight materials in aerospace and defense industries, the increase in demand for lightweight materials in the automotive industry, and the rising usage of aramid fibers as a potential substitute for steel materials are excepted to drive the market.
- The non-biodegradable nature of aramid fibers and the increasing prices of raw materials are hindering market growth.
- The advancements in aramid materials manufacturing technology are expected to create opportunities for the market during the forecast period.
- The United States is expected to dominate the market due to the rising demand for aramid fibers from automotive, aerospace and defense, electrical, and electronics end-user industries. It is also expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
North America Aramid Fiber Market Trends
Aerospace and Defense End-User Industry to Dominated the Market
- Aramids are used for components and structural applications in all aircraft and spacecraft, ranging from hot air balloons and gliders to fighter planes, passenger airliners, and space shuttles. The aramid fibers are generally used in wing assemblies, helicopter rotor blades, seat propellers, and enclosures for instruments and internal parts.
- Every year, the aerospace industry uses a higher proportion of aramid fibers in constructing each new generation of aircraft due to the provision of an all-weather operation of commercial aircraft and enhanced vision systems. Moreover, characteristics such as temperature stability and durability will further fuel the growth of the aerospace composites market over the coming years.
- The United States is one of the significant markets for OEMs of airplanes in the North American region. Airbus and Boeing are the largest manufacturers of airplanes in the country. For instance, Airbus delivered 735 commercial aircraft in 2023, an 11% increase on 2022. 2,319 gross orders (2,094 net), including 1,835 A320 Family and 300 A350 Family aircraft. Similarly, Boeing Aeroplane OEM company received orders for 57 Boeing Max 8 jets, with delivery expected through 2025.
- According to data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, in 2022, airlines in the United States carried 853 million passengers at a growth rate of 30% compared to 674 million passengers in 2021. Thus, several airline companies are expanding their fleet and procuring aircraft with advanced capabilities to cater to the increasing air passenger demand.
- Mexico is one of the prominent players in the North American Aerospace Industry. Aerospace manufacturing in Mexico now produces everything from engines, cargo doors, fuselages, engine parts, landing gear assemblies, connection systems, and many other components essential for an aircraft to function.
- The number of passengers traveling by airplane is increasing in Mexico. Thus, the demand for new civil aircraft is increasing in the country. According to Mexican Aerospace Industry Federation, A.C. (FEMIA), Mexico's aerospace sector grew from 100 manufacturing firms and organizations in 2004 to 368 by mid-2022. Today these firms primarily include manufacturers and maintenance-repair-overhaul facilities (MROs) for civil aircraft.
- Thus, the aerospace and defense industry growth is expected to drive the region's aramid fibers market.
