Aeroengine Composites Market Analysis
The aeroengine composites market is valued at USD 3.57 billion in 2025 and is forecasted to reach a market size of USD 6.14 billion by 2030, advancing at an 11.46% CAGR. Growing fleet renewal, decarbonization mandates, and rising fuel prices push airlines and engine makers toward lighter propulsion systems that cut fuel burn by up to 20% while meeting stricter emission limits. Ceramic matrix composites (CMC) now withstand 1,300C, allowing higher core temperatures and improved thermal efficiency. Automated fiber-placement and out-of-autoclave curing are lowering the cost per pound by nearly 30%, making composites economically viable for narrowbody programs. Supply-chain resilience remains critical after GE Aerospace's 10% delivery shortfall in 2024 exposed bottlenecks in high-pressure turbine blade sourcing.
Global Aeroengine Composites Market Trends and Insights
Shift toward lightweight, fuel-efficient propulsion systems
Airlines need 15-20% fuel savings to offset volatile fuel prices, driving a rapid pivot toward composites that cut nacelle weight and boost bypass ratios. GE Aerospace's RISE open-fan demonstrator targets 20% CO? reductions using carbon-fiber fan blades with bypass ratios up to 60. Airbus is flight-testing carbon-fiber reinforced thermoplastic structures that pair with 100% sustainable aviation fuel and promise 20% fuel burn cuts. Narrowbody output above 100 aircraft per month heightens the urgency for scalable, automated composite production.
Ramp-up of LEAP and next generation aircraft engine production volumes
Over 4,000 aircraft fly with LEAP engines, prompting Safran to invest EUR 1 billion (USD 1.16 billion) in new MRO facilities in Brussels, Hyderabad, Queretaro, and Casablanca to handle 1,200 annual shop visits by 2028. GE earmarked EUR 64 million (USD 74.05 million) for European test cells and tooling that support the LEAP and GE9X programs. Component shortages, chiefly high-pressure turbine blades, trimmed 2024 engine deliveries by 10% despite USD 26.9 billion in commercial revenue, underscoring the need for diversified composite supply chains.
Brittleness and inspection complexity of CMCs
CMC fan blades risk foreign object damage because their ceramic microstructure can crack under impact loads. Traditional ultrasonic or X-ray methods struggle to detect microcracks, forcing OEMs to invest in computed-tomography scanning and specialist training. New machining methods using polycrystalline diamond tools cut processing time by 70%, raising capital costs and making adoption harder for smaller suppliers.
Other drivers and restraints analyzed in the detailed report include:
Decarbonization roadmaps driving high-temperature CMC demand / Shifting aftermarket spend toward composite replacement parts / Protracted qualification cycles under FAA/EASA Part 21 rules /

Segment Analysis
Commercial engines captured 70.05% of the aeroengine composites market share in 2024 because thousands of LEAP and GEnx units integrate composite fan blades and cases that deliver up to 20% fuel savings. The aeroengine composites market size tied to military programs will expand the fastest at a 12.74% CAGR through 2030 as XA100-class propulsion and hypersonic demonstrators adopt CMC shrouds.
Business jets and regional aircraft operators are beginning to retrofit composite-rich engines as technology migrates downstream. Partnerships like GE Aerospace and Kratos Defense plan small-class engines that marry CMC turbines with affordable production methods, widening the customer base. This diffuses risk across civil and defense budgets, improving supplier order stability.
Fan blades retained 37.98% of 2024 revenue because carbon-fiber construction delivers high stiffness-to-weight and reduces inertia for better thrust response. Fan cases are projected to grow at 13.48% CAGR, lifting the aeroengine composites market size for containment hardware as regulatory containment tests favor composite shells.
Integrating shrouds, guide vanes, and O-ring seals into monolithic composite structures will keep margins healthy by reducing part count and assembly hours. Suppliers with AFP capability can machine complex aerofoils in a single pass, enhancing performance consistency.
The Aeroengine Composites Market Report is Segmented by Application (Commercial Aircraft, Military Aircraft, and General Aviation), Component (Fan Blades, Fan Case, Guide Vanes, Shrouds, and Other Components), Material Type (Polymer Matrix Composites and Ceramic Matrix Composites), End-User (OEM and Aftermarket), and Geography (North America, Europe, and More). The Market Forecasts are Provided in Terms of Value (USD).
Geography Analysis
Asia-Pacific held a 32.18% share in 2024 as China accelerated Indigenous programs like the CJ-1000 for the C919 and the 35-ton-thrust CJ-2000, which are rich in composite hot-section parts. China's turbine blades now tolerate 1,700 C through single-crystal casting and 3D-printed cooling channels. Japan and South Korea supply high-strength fibers and prepregs, while India's widebody orders boost regional demand.
North America remains a technology leader. GE Aerospace's USD 26.9 billion commercial engines revenue in 2024 stemmed from composite-laden LEAP and GEnx programs, though material shortages cut deliveries by 10%. NASA's HyTEC initiative is coating CMC airfoils to raise single-aisle efficiency, sustaining R&D pipelines.
The Middle East and Africa is projected to witness the fastest growth at 13.15% CAGR as the Gulf carriers add composite-rich engines and regional forces invest in next-generation fighters. Safran-MTU's EURA engine will anchor European helicopter upgrades, while EU Clean Aviation's open-fan demonstrator supports 20% CO? cuts via large-diameter composite fans.
