All aircraft systems manufacturers are focusing on reducing aircraft weight. Lightweight aircraft are more economical to operate, travel a greater range, carry more payload, and stay in the air longer. The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is a military aircraft controlled by remote; it carries sensors, target designators, offensive ordnance, or electronic transmitters to interfere with or destroy enemy objectives. Decreasing the weight of the structure allows it to have more sensors and payload and a longer time to stay in the air. Small UAV drones primarily rely on batteries for power, which are heavy, creating further need to reduce the weight of the rest of the structure. Thus, the growing demand for lightweight material-based fasteners will lead to the rise in the usage of titanium fasteners in military UAV systems. Moreover, rapid technological advancements increase the demand for smaller airframes and the number of small unmanned aircraft systems (SUAS) deployed on the battlefield. Thus, the adoption and technological development of UAVs for military applications will eventually boost the aerospace titanium fasteners market.
With new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the MEA aerospace titanium fasteners market at a notable CAGR during the forecast period.
