The global aerospace plastics market was worth USD 6.2 billion in 2011 and is expected to reach USD 10.5 billion in 2018, growing at a CAGR of 7.9% from 2012 to 2018. In terms of volume, the aerospace plastic consumption was 40.5 kilo tons in 2011 and is expected to reach 87.8 kilo tons in 2018, growing at a CAGR of 11.7% from 2012 to 2018.


Steady growth in the aviation industry, excellent strength to weight ratio, and increased adoption of aerospace plastics in aircraft designs are largely augmenting the growth of the aerospace plastics market. EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and Greenpeace regulations that are imposed upon the production of aerospace plastics are acting as a challenge for the growth of this market. These conventions primarily monitor the percentage of greenhouse gases emitted during the production of aerospace plastics. Furthermore, the high cost of raw materials, namely PAN (Polyacrylonitrile), utilized in manufacturing the aerospace plastics are acting as a restraint for this market.

This study is a comprehensive estimation and analysis of four key end-user segments. The commercial aircrafts end-user segment accounted for 72% of market share in 2011 followed by military aircrafts, rotary aircrafts, and general aviation planes end-user segments. Aerospace plastics market is categorized into six application segments. Fuselage was the key application segment that accounted for over 28% of market share in 2011. Wings, empennage, flight deck and cabin areas are a few other key application segments estimated and analyzed in this study.

In terms of volume, Europe dominated the global aerospace plastics market that accounted for more than 43.0% of the overall market in 2011. In Europe, Germany, France, the UK and Spain were the key regional markets and together accounted for more than 75% of the European market. Europe is expected to dominate the aerospace plastics market for the next five years, owing to the supportive government policies and rising investments seen in Europe over the past three years. Some of the European public bodies such as ONERA, CNES, and CNRT are inventing new materials that are in turn attracting aircraft manufacturers in this region.

The U.S. aerospace plastics market had grown at a steady rate even during economic slowdown, primarily due to reasonable demand in the airlines industry. Increased air traffic and substantial rise in the military budget have provided adequate growth impetus for the North American aerospace plastics market. Asia Pacific is expected to drive the aerospace plastics market chiefly due to low labor overheads and huge investments. In Asia Pacific, the military aircrafts end-user segment is expected to grow, owing to adequate financial support provided by the government.


Some of the key players supplying aerospace plastics include Hexcel Corporation, Mitsubishi Rayon, SGL Carbon, Toho Tenax, Toray Group and Zoltek Companies Inc. The report provides an overview of these companies followed by their financial revenue, business strategies and recent developments.

This research analyzes and estimates the performance and production of aerospace plastics in the global scenario, providing detailed trend analysis of the market by geography and comprehensive analysis of companies that are dealing in aerospace plastics.

Melatonin has been dubbed as the "natural wonder drug" by pundits and not without reason. Melatonin which is generally known to be a sleep aid and a cure for primary insomnia, is found to have many other attributes. Apart from inducing sleep and alleviating jet lag, melatonin is also a potent anti-oxidant, boosts the immune system, and is a probable treatment for cancer, among other uses. Rising stress levels among the general population and the dietary supplement status of melatonin in North America are the two major driving factors for melatonin. High customer awareness in North America coupled with the molecule's lack of side-effects compared to other sleeping pills gives melatonin the edge in this region. However, melatonin is not as freely available to end-users in Europe and Asia Pacific where it is registered as a prescription drug. Although the social demography is similar in North America and Europe, the market is considerably limited in Europe due to the regulated status of melatonin.

Dietary supplements was the largest application segment of melatonin and accounted for 52.5% of the global melaonin demand in 2012. This is also expected to be the fastest growing segment over the next few years. Melatonin is marketed as a medicine in most of the countries in the world including Europe and Asia Pacific. However as melatonin is only available as a prescription drug, the market size is smaller compared to North America, where it is available over the counter. Application of melatonin in food and beverages is a new market and has witnessed high growth in the recent past and has huge market potential as against energy drinks. However, as per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the use of melatonin in food products is not safe as it is not currently classified as a food supplement.

North America accounted for the largest share of the global melatonin demand in 2012, followed by Europe and this trend is expected to continue over the next few years. The Asia Pacific market has high potential but the growth rate is expected to be relatively slower than in Europe owing to the lack of awareness about melatonin in the general populace. The Rest of the World (RoW) segment occupied the least market share and is expected to exhibit the slowest growth rate among the various regions.


The report gives an in-depth analysis of the melatonin market in terms of volume (tons) and revenue (USD million). In addition, the report also includes current demand analysis and forecast for each product and application segments for both global and regional level. The regions analyzed include North America, U.S., Europe, Asia Pacific, China, Japan and Rest of the World. The report comprises of the following segments:

Mineral wool was the most widely consumed ceiling tile product and accounted for over 40% of the market share in 2012. Owing to its significant use in different commercial and educational applications such as retail stores, hospitals, schools and offices among others, mineral wool ceiling tiles have been the preferred choice of ceiling solutions due to their high performance and quality in conjunction to fire safety, thermal insulation and noise level reduction. Gypsum ceiling tiles are gaining importance and are anticipated to witness the fastest growth over the next few years owing to its biodegradable property. Growing demand for eco-friendly building materials with the increasing popularity for green buildings is expected to be a significant factor in driving the market for gypsum ceiling tiles.



Demand for ceiling tiles was highest from the commercial segment in 2012. The commercial ceiling tiles industry has remained a vital part of the economy despite being negatively impacted by the global economic downturn in 2008-09. Furthermore, the commercial segment is expected to witness the fastest growth due to rapid urbanization, particularly in emerging economies of Asia Pacific and Latin America. The segment is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 10.0%, from 2013 to 2019. Industrial was the second largest application segment of the ceiling tiles market in the same year. Rising construction activities in offices, conference rooms, testing and R&D labs coupled with growing industrialization are some of the major factors which are expected to drive the industrial infrastructure in emerging economies of China and India.
