The global aerospace & defense C-class parts market size is expected to reach USD 25.65 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.7% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Rise in passenger and freight traffic, leading to increasing demand from the airlines for commercial aircraft and increased MRO activities are expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period.
The market is witnessing increased penetration of 3D printing technology for the use of manufacturing of parts with complex design, where high precision is required. Airbus has adopted this technology for manufacturing over 1,000 different parts for A350. However, the adoption of this technology is capital intensive, which may pose a challenge to the market.
Raw materials account for the highest cost share of the c-class parts, followed by design process. OEMs are involved in the decision-making process and monitor the supply chain from raw material procurement, product design, and manufacturing, to ensure the quality and inventory management purpose.
The market is highly fragmented in nature, owing to the presence of a large number of small-scale enterprises, which majorly include job shops and small tier 3 suppliers. The market is witnessing an intense competition as the players try to secure long-term contracts with tier 1 and 2 suppliers as well as OEMs.
