Aerospace & defense elastomers are elastic materials that have the ability to regain their original shape after the applied force is completely released from them. They have low rigidity, high deformability, and high non-linear stress-strain curves. Specific combinations of these characteristic properties of elastomers make them suitable for use in the aerospace industry. The aerospace & defense elastomers market has been segmented based on type, application, and region in terms of value and volume. The aerospace & defense elastomers market is projected to grow from USD 54.3 million in 2017 to USD 70.8 million by 2022, at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2017 to 2022.
The growing aviation industry in emerging economies such as India and China, among others and increasing replacement of the existing aircraft with the new ones are the key factors expected to drive the growth of the aerospace & defense elastomers market across the globe. Companies operating in the aerospace & defense elastomers market are focused on the adoption of various growth strategies such as new product launches, expansions, agreements, acquisitions, and joint ventures to cater the rising demand for aerospace & defense elastomers across the globe.
