In 2019, the global nomex honeycomb market size was valued at >500 million. High strength to weight ratio, good thermal insulation, formable, flame retardant, corrosion resistant, and over expanded cell structure is expected to increase nomex honeycomb market concentration in aerospace & defense and transportation application. The lightweight properties of these materials have increased its adoption in the manufacturing of interior walls, tail booms, engine nacelles, flooring panels, helicopter blades, storage bins, and exterior control surfaces.
Increasing demand for lightweight materials in different end user industries, rising adoption of composites in aerospace & defense and rail transportation, high compatibility with composite materials, and increasing production of composite materials over the past few years is expected to increase its market concentration over the projected period. However, high raw material cost, moisture and water absorbent properties, followed by increasing industry need for low cost products are expected to be the key market challenges over the coming years.
