The increase in global aerospace and defense spending and the subsequent rise in demand for the offerings of this sector are expected to create huge opportunities for the contractors and stakeholders in the corresponding supply chains. The commercial and military aircraft aftermarket landscape is also growing owing to a changing aircraft fleet mix, pressure on airlines to mitigate maintenance costs and the arrival of advanced technologies. This is resulting in an increased aftermarket opportunity for the overall commercial and military aircraft value chain, including original equipment manufacturers (OEM). The growing investment in the aerospace and defense sector by governments is propelling the global aeroengine fan blades market. Furthermore, the rising demand for commercial and freight aircraft is compelling aircraft manufacturers, such as Airbus and Boeing, to increase the number of assembly/manufacturing plants. For instance, Boeing is planning to develop manufacturing bases in Southeast Asia. In addition, in November 2019, Airbus signed a contract with China to start its airline production in the country. Boeing is also looking to ramp-up its production in India in the future. These developments are providing significant opportunities for the growth of the aeroengine fan blade manufacturers, to enable them to extend their reach to top aircraft manufacturers and aircraft engine manufacturers.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Aeroengine fan blades market
The COVID-19 outbreak began in Wuhan (China) in December 2019, and since then, it has spread at a fast pace around the globe. As per the latest WHO figures, on May 13, 2020, there are ~4.17 million confirmed COVID-19 cases with ~2,87,000 total deaths globally, and the number is growing at varying rates in different countries. The global factory shutdowns, travel bans, and border lockdowns to combat and contain the disease spread have impacted every industry and economy worldwide. Aerospace is one of the major industries suffering serious disruptions due to this pandemic. Technology events and industry meet cancellations, factory and office shutdowns, and reduced business activities are among the major consequences faced by the sector.
