The aircraft floor panel market is expected to grow from US$ 646.68 million in 2019 to US$ 1,038.63 million by 2027; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 8.2%from 2020 to 2027.

Aviation authorities, aircraft manufacturers, aircraft component manufacturers, MRO service providers, and military forces are seeking components made from lightweight materials to extend the flying range of aircraft and increase fuel efficiency. Therefore, floor panel manufacturers are designing and developing the lightest possible floor panels for modern aircraft fleet.

Players operating in the aircraft floor panel market are leveraging the light weight nature of Nomex and aluminum honeycomb structures. Both materials are widely used in the construction of aircraft floor panels. However, Nomex, being 20% lighter than aluminum, is a more preferred material by aircraft manufacturers. Moreover,, the Nomex honeycomb structures have a longer lifespan than aluminum honeycomb. Owing to the longer life spans, and lightweight nature, leading to extended flying range, Nomex honeycomb structures eliminate the need for frequent MRO services. Thus, increasing research activities to develop more such materials and escalating adoption of the same are drive the growth of the aircraft floor panel market.

Based on aircraft type,the narrow body aircraft segment led the aircraft floor panel market in 2019.The narrow body aircraft signify to single-aisle planes with ~90-175 seats. The market for narrow body aircraft is much larger than wide body aircraft.It enables to reach the breakeven number of aircraft in a shorter time. The progress is driven bysurging deliveries and orders of narrow body aircraft, such as A320 and B737, from various low-cost carriers (LCC) around the globe. Moreover, the increasing international and domestic air travelers is propelling the demand for narrow body aircraft. Several manufacturers across all regions are focusing on creating a wide-ranging next-generation air transport system having flexibility and cost-effectiveness features; which is expected to support the narrow body aircraft growth. Boeing is projected to deliver 14,810 narrow body aircraft by 2029 and Airbus is likely to deliver 29,720 aircraft of this type by 2038. The growing tourism industry across various countries in Europe and APAC, increasing accessibility of low-cost airlines, and rising government expenditure on the growth of air transport also drive the growth of the aircraft floor panel market.
