Global Honeycomb Sandwich Material market 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, 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 and 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 honeycomb sandwich material 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. The aluminum segment dominated the market share as it is abundantly available and has low cost. The composite segment is the fastest growing segment owing to its enhanced properties such as high strength, low cost, and easy to mold.

Depending on application, the market is categorized into aerospace, automotive, marine, locomotive, construction, and others. The aerospace segment holds the largest market share due to high stiffness to weight and high strength-to-weight ratio. The automotive segment is anticipated to grow at the fastest pace during the forecast period owing to its superior performance in driving dynamics, vehicle agility, reduced carbon dioxide emission, and efficient fuel consumption.

By technology, it is categorized into expansion, corrugation, molding, extrusion, and others. The expansion segment dominates the market and is projected to remain dominant throughout the forecast period owing to ease in cutting and stacking of honeycomb sandwich material Region wise, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA (Latin America, Middle East, and Africa). U.S., China, and India are the top investment regions for honeycomb sandwich material market growth owing to growth in the aerospace & defense industry.

The key players operating in the honeycomb sandwich material market are Benecor Inc., Encore N.V., Encocam Ltd., Hexcel Corporation, Honeylite, Foshan Liming, Pacific Panels, Samia, Gill Corporation, and Schweiter Technologies. The players in the market have adopted several strategies to sustain the market competition such as collaboration, joint venture, partnership, and new product launch.
