Aerospace Adhesives & Sealants Industry - Regional Synopsis

North America Market Statistics

North America aerospace adhesives & sealants market is poised to capture revenue share of around 40.3% by the end of 2037. This is primarily due to the U.S. government's heightened emphasis on bolstering its military. Therefore, over an extended period, contractors and their supply chains stand to gain greatly from higher defense spending. The aerospace adhesives & sealants market expansion can be attributed to the heightened investments in production facilities by aerospace original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and component manufacturers. With commercial airlines expanding their fleets to meet surging passenger demand and cargo transport needs, manufacturers are shifting to high-performance adhesives to enhance fuel efficiency and structural integrity.

Additionally, the U.S. Department of Defense is heavily investing in next-generation military aircraft, further driving demand. In fiscal year 2022, the DOD spent more than USD 20 billion updating and recapitalizing its fixed-wing fighter and attack aircraft. Fighter and assault aircraft with fixed wings, known as tactical aircraft are piloted vehicles with electronic warfare, air-to-air, and air-to-ground capabilities. The shift towards lightweight composite materials in aircraft construction also boosts the need for specialized adhesives and sealants, replacing traditional mechanical fasteners.

Similarly, Canada is home to major aerospace manufacturers such as Bombardier and Airbus Canada, which require advanced adhesives and sealants for lightweight materials and structural integrity. The rise in aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) activities further drives demand, as airlines prioritize efficiency and durability. Additionally, Canada’s push for sustainable aviation, including the adoption of composite and eco-friendly adhesives, contributed to aerospace adhesives & sealants market expansion. To promote Canada's new Initiative for Sustainable Aviation Technology (INSAT), which aims to accelerate the green industrial transformation of the aerospace industry, the Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science, and Industry, announced a USD 350 million investment in June 2023. One of Canada's most inventive and export-oriented industries, the aerospace sector supports the country's economy with almost USD 27 billion and more than 210,000 jobs.

APAC Market Analysis

Asia Pacific aerospace adhesives & sealants market is expected to grow at a significant rate during the projected period. Due to rapid industrialization, urbanization, and financial adhesive in key countries such as China, India, Japan, and South Korea, the Asia Pacific adhesive and sealant market is one of the fastest-growing regions globally. Strong demand from companies in this area includes development, automotive, packaging, hardware, and healthcare. Favorable government policies, infrastructure projects, and a growing center course have accelerated the expansion of the aerospace adhesives & sealants market. In general, Asia Pacific's adhesive and sealant sector has grown alongside the mechanical advancements of the region. Initially reliant on imports, the region began developing its capacity to generate claims in the middle of the 20th century, with Japan spearheading creative advancements.

Furthermore, China’s expanding commercial aviation sector, led by COMAC’s C919 jetliner, is increasing demand for high-performance adhesives and sealants for structural bonding, insulation, and fuel system sealing. Additionally, the growth of the defense and space industries, including satellite and missile development, further boosts demand. With a strong push for localization and the presence of major international and domestic aerospace suppliers, China’s aerospace adhesives & sealants market is witnessing steady expansion. The Observatory of Economic Complexity revealed that China became the world's sixth-largest importer of aircraft and spacecraft in 2023, bringing in USD 11.8 billion in total. In that same year, China's 26th most imported product was aircraft and spacecraft. The main countries from which China imports aircraft and spacecraft are France (USD 3.41 billion), Germany (USD 3.23 billion), the U.S. (USD 2.49 billion), Ireland (USD 1.16 billion), and Canada (USD 433 million).

Similarly, with the Government of India’s push for self-reliance in aerospace and defense, companies including Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), and private players are boosting aircraft production and maintenance activities. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF) approximately 69% of all aircraft traffic in South Asia is domestic, and by 2023, India's airport capacity is predicted to accommodate 1 billion journeys yearly. The air traffic flow in 2023 was 327.28 million, up from 188.89 million in 2022, indicating that the Indian aviation industry has largely recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic shock.

The increasing demand for commercial aircraft, driven by the surge in domestic air travel and regional connectivity schemes (UDAN), further fuels market growth. additionally. Technological advancements and the entry of global adhesive manufacturers also contribute to the sector’s expansion, making India a key emerging aerospace adhesives & sealants market in aerospace materials.
