The US ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.4% during the forecast period. The US is considered to hold the major share in the US CMC market owing to its adoption in various applications such as aerospace and defense, power generation applications, aircraft applications, space applications, and others. The aerospace industry in the US is the largest across the globe as per the International Trade Administration (ITA). The US aerospace manufacturers are quite competitive internationally. In 2018, the industry contributed $151 billion in export sales to the US economy. At the end of 2018, the inward stock of foreign direct investment (FDI) into the US aerospace manufacturing industry totaled nearly $22 billion. There is a huge scope for CMCs in the aerospace industry in commercial aircraft, military aircraft, and space segments. This leads to the demand for lightweight materials in the industry and the capability of CMC components for performing better at high temperatures.
One of the CMC part manufacturers in the region is GE Aviation. The company in 2017 announced its plan of having more than 750 US employees dedicated to its CMC industry by 2020. In just 10 years, the company has spent over $1.5 billion for bringing advanced CMC technology to market. Further, in March 2018, GE Aviation invested around $105 million in its CMC components manufacturing plant in Asheville, North Carolina, US, for meeting the growing product demand.
The players in the market include General Electric Co., United Technologies Corp., and Axiom Materials, Inc. These players are adopting several strategies to expand market share and gain a competitive advantage over their competitors. For instance, In November 2019, Pratt & Whitney, a manufacturer of commercial and military jet engines and a division of United Technologies Corp., declared that it will open a new ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) research & development (R&D) facility in Carlsbad, California, US. With the addition of this 60,000 square-foot R&D facility, the company will offer novel CMC materials to both their commercial and military customers.
