Based on raw material, the market is segmented into Nomex honeycomb and aluminum honeycomb and others. The Nomex honeycomb segment held a dominant market share of over 50% in 2023 and is expected to grow at a lucrative pace. The Nomex honeycomb segment refers to a specialized category of floor panels designed using Nomex honeycomb cores. Nomex is a brand of flame-resistant meta-aramid material that offers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and heat-resistant properties. Despite their lightweight nature, Nomex honeycomb structures provide remarkable structural strength. Aerospace floor panels are engineered to ensure robustness and structural integrity, meeting stringent safety & performance standards required in the aerospace industry. Nomex honeycomb cores also exhibit excellent vibration-dampening properties and are highly customizable, enabling manufacturers to tailor floor panels to precise design & performance specifications.
Based on aircraft, the market is segmented into commercial, regional jet, business jet, and helicopter. The regional jet segment is expected to grow at a fast pace of over 10% CAGR during the forecast period and reach a revenue of over USD 10 million by 2032. The regional jet segment is a specialized category that specifically caters to the flooring needs of regional aircraft, commonly referred to as regional jets. These aircraft are smaller in size compared to larger commercial planes and are primarily designed for short to medium-haul routes, typically serving regional or domestic destinations with fewer passengers. Aerospace floor panels are tailored to meet the unique requirements of regional jets including considerations for weight reduction, durability, safety, and cabin aesthetics. Regional jets are designed to be fuel-efficient and cost-effective for shorter routes. The regional jet segment addresses the distinct needs of regional airlines, aircraft manufacturers, and operators who rely on smaller, more fuel-efficient aircraft to connect passengers to regional destinations.
