Global Aerospace Materials (Aluminum Alloys, Steel Alloys, Titanium Alloys, Super Alloys, Composites) Market 2015 - Trends and Forecast to 2019
M2 - Tue May 26, 3:35AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/rd273m/aerospace) has announced the addition of the "Aerospace Materials Market by Type, by Aircraft Type - Global Trends and Forecast to 2019" report to their offering. Global aerospace materials market is projected to register a CAGR of more than 6.6% between 2014 and 2019 to reach $18.5 billion in terms of value. Aerospace materials are used for building various parts of the aircrafts. Various materials such as aluminum alloys, steel alloys, titanium alloy, super alloys and composite materials are used for building aircrafts. Aluminum alloys accounts for nearly 50.0% of the market in terms of the volume, however it represents only around 25.0% of the market in terms of the value. Demand for aluminum alloys is expected to remain flat between 2014 and 2019, but increasing usage of the composite materials and titanium alloys in the new generation of the aircrafts is expected to surge the demand for these materials in the near future. Major advantage of using composite materials and titanium alloys is the light weight of these materials and comparative strength of these materials to the traditionally used metals such as aluminum and steel alloys. Composites enable aerospace manufacturers to produce structural components to substitute conventional metal solutions. Shorter cycles for the manufacture of components, corrosion resistance and superior performance at elevated temperatures are some of the major advantages offered by these new aerospace materials. In aerospace materials market, large numbers of the raw material suppliers are active in the market. The degree of forward integration is also low. However, presence of patented technology with some major suppliers required in specific aerospace application boosts ups the bargaining power of supplier. Asia-Pacific is projected to witness high growth rate during the forecast period (2014-2019). The aerospace materials market in Europe and North America is consolidated, whereas the market in Asia-Pacific has a fragmented structure, where China and Japan alone has around number of aerospace material suppliers, these numbers are expected to increase due to the large number of mergers and acquisition and expansion by some major players taking place in the region, rivalry in the aerospace industry is expected to reduce during the forecast period.

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/2ncjcw/global_and_china) has announced the addition of the "Global and China Aluminum Heat Transfer Composites Industry Report, 2014-2017" report to their offering. Aluminum heat transfer composites (aluminum sheet, strip, and foil, etc.) are mainly used in heat exchange systems of automobiles, home appliances, and machinery and equipment as well as air-cooling systems of thermal power stations. Fuelled by the downstream sectors, the global output of aluminum heat transfer compositespresented an AAGR of 6.1% during 2006-2014, and reached 1.38 million tons in 2014, up 4.5% year on year, a drop of 1.1 percentage points from 2013. As one of the world's major consumers of aluminum heat transfer composites, China had a demand of approximately 591.9 kt in 2014, which was mainly attributed to the growth in demand from industries like automotive lightweightas well as machinery and equipment. It is predicated that by 2017 China's demand for aluminum heat transfer composites will reach 850 kt. At present, aluminum heat transfer composites manufacturers in China are mainly the foreign-funded companies or joint-ventures, which contributed more than 60% of the total capacity in China. By contrast, the Chinese enterprises, restricted by some factors like technology, have a small scale, thereby making them less competitive. Granges, Orkla's wholly-owned subsidiary that specializes in aluminum heat transfer composites business, now has achieved the capacity of 210 kt/a aluminum heat transfer composites. Granges Aluminum Heat Transfer (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., a production base of Granges in China, has the annual capacity of 120kt; in future, the company will plan to construct its second factory in China. Novelis is a majoraluminum heat transfer composites manufacturer in the United States. In October 2014, the company's first automotive aluminum heat treatmentmanufactory in China was completed and put into operation, with its capacity of 120 kt/a. Huafon Nikkei, a Sino-Japanese joint venture, is so far the largest aluminum heat transfer composites manufacturer by capacity in China. In late 2014, the company's 50 kt/a civilair-conditioning aluminum alloy composites project (phase II) went into operation, which helped raise its total capacity of aluminum heat transfer composites to 130 kt/a. As the largest aluminum-based multi-metal composites manufacturer in China, Yinbang boasts the capacity of 20 kt/a aluminum-based multi-metal composites. The company's 200 kt/a aluminum-based laminated metal composites expansion project will be put into production in September 2015, when its aluminum-based multi-metal composites capacity will amount to 50 kt/a.
