Aircraft Adhesive Market

Aircraft Adhesive Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Function (Structural, and Non-structural), by Resin (Epoxy, Polyurethane, Silicone, and Others), by Technology (Waterborne, Solvent-borne, and Reactive), and by End User (Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), and Maintenance Repair and Operations (MROs)) Forecast Period 2025-2035

Published: Apr 2025 | Report Code: OMR2027481 | Category : Aerospace and Defense | Delivery Format: /

Industry Outlook

Aircraft adhesive market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 15.8% during the forecast period (2025-2035). The significant factors driving the market include continuous demand for the performance and efficiency improvements of aircraft. The key to achieving this is the reduction of aircraft weight. The adhesive product plays an important role as it combines the materials, creating strong and durable joints without adding significant weight. As the demand for lightweight and fuel-efficient aircraft continues to grow, bonding composites of material is also challenging, as its fastener damages the material.
