The global commercial aircraft aerostructures market is predicted to reach USD 56.8 billion in 2024 and USD 76.01 billion by 2029, rising at a CAGR of 6% from 2024 to 2029.
The aerostructure is an essential part of commercial aircraft. Demand and the growth of the aircraft market depend primarily on the delivery of commercial aircraft aerostructures. Advances in design, materials, and processes have helped the industry grow faster by meeting the needs of the airlines. The structure of the aircraft represents more than 30% of the total production value of the plane, followed by aviation engines, avionics, systems and electronics, and interiors. The growing wealth of emerging economies that cause access to air traffic is an essential factor that leads to increased passenger traffic or travel per capita around the world. This creates demand for new aircraft, boosting the global commercial aircraft aerostructures market.
A trend that can affect the competitive dynamics of the market is expected to change in the manufacturing of the Commercial Aircraft Aerostructures of OEM level players. In 2018, we saw a series of high-value-added M&A activities in the industry. The global commercial aircraft aerostructures market is driven primarily by the growing supply of commercial aircraft worldwide. As passenger mobility has increased in recent years, the commercial aircraft aerostructures industry is experiencing significant growth in the speed of deployment of commercial aviation, which actively drives and supports the growth of the global Commercial Aircraft Aerostructures Market.
In addition, it has been observed that the aircraft manufacturing industry is mainly adopting outsourcing methodologies for the manufacture of large-scale and high-speed aviation structures, thus accelerating the growth of the global Commercial Aircraft Aerostructures Market. In addition to these factors, the development and adoption of composite materials for aircraft manufacturing are accelerating the growth of the global Commercial Aircraft Aerostructures Market and are expected to lead the market during the forecast period.
However, problems associated with compounds, such as recycling of materials, are expected to slow the growth of the Commercial Aircraft Aerostructures Market during the forecast period.

The global commercial aircraft aerostructure market is divided into narrow-body airplanes, wide-body airplanes, extra-large airplanes, regional airplanes, general aviation, helicopters, military airplanes, and unmanned aerial vehicles. The narrow-body segment is likely to be the leader of the market during the forecast period. Wide-body airplanes are expected to remain the second-largest segment during the forecast period and grow at an impressive rate.
The global commercial aircraft aerostructures business is divided into metallic aerostructures and composite aerostructures. The metal structures of the aircraft are assumed to remain as larger segments, while composite aircraft structures are foreseen to show higher growth over the next five years. Passenger planes are actively seeking lightweight composite parts that can contribute to the goal of achieving more excellent fuel economy and reducing emissions.
The global market is divided into fuselage, wings, containers, gondolas, and pylons. The fuselage is projected to remain the most extensive application in the commercial aircraft aerostructures market during the prediction period. The fuselage is the main component of the aircraft and covers the body part of the plane.
Regionally, the Commercial Aircraft Aerostructures Market has been categorized in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and other regions (RoW).
