Honeycomb Sandwich Material Market

Honeycomb Sandwich Material Market Outlook - 2027

The global honeycomb sandwich material market size was valued at $1.3 billion in 2019 and is anticipated to generate $2.1 billion by 2027. The market is projected to experience growth at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2020 to 2027.

Honeycomb sandwich is a structure with three layers, in which a low-density core is inserted between two relatively thin layers for enhancing its mechanical properties and reducing its weight. High strength, stiffness, corrosive resistance, and minimum raw material requirement in manufacturing are some of the characteristics of high temperature honeycomb structures. 

The key factors driving the growth of the honeycomb sandwich material market include increase in production of various aircrafts and growth in the space industry across the world. Honeycomb sandwich materials are widely used in the aircraft & space industries, as these provide remarkable mechanical properties and are lightweight, thus conserving fuel and reducing the weight of the vehicle. However, capital-intensive nature of market characterized by high cost of production and raw materials is expected to hamper the growth of the market. Meanwhile, 3D printing of honeycomb panels is anticipated to provide lucrative opportunities to the honeycomb material manufacturers.

The honeycomb sandwich material market is segmented into material type, application, technology, and region. By material type, the market is divided into aluminum, steel, composites, titanium, Inconel, and others.
