The aircraft isothermal forging market in Asia Pacific is expected to grow from US$ 294.12 million in 2022 to US$ 536.49 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 10.5% from 2022 to 2028.
Adopting titanium and nickel-based parts across various applications in military aircraft production is a rising trend expected to propel the aircraft isothermal forging market. Higher demand for lightweight materials and increasing penetration of titanium and nickel-based engine parts usage per aircraft is on the rise. Furthermore, various components of military aircraft models and helicopters, such as flanges, ribs, skins, stringers, stiffeners, and shrouds, to form an aircraft engine structure are manufactured with the help of isothermally forging titanium or nickel alloys. For instance, in India, the Adour 804/811 and 871 engines that power the Indian Air Force’s Jaguar/Hawk aircraft use nickel-based and titanium-based alloys, which is expected to increase the demand for titanium and nickel-based parts. The thermal expansion rate of titanium makes it highly preferable as a composite interface material for military aircraft production. Moreover, titanium and nickel are known for their high strength-to-weight ratio, making them ideal materials for aircraft construction across the military aircraft manufacturing sectors. Furthermore, titanium and nickel-based parts are also corrosion-resistant, which makes them a good choice for use across military aircraft production. These lightweight and strong metals are suitable for manufacturing military aircraft and aircraft engine components. Thus, this trend is expected to boost the aircraft isothermal forging market growth during the forecast period.
