Polyetheretherketone (peek) was the largest segment with a revenue share of 66.05% in 2024. Horizon Databook has segmented the UK aerospace plastics market based on polyetheretherketone (peek), polyphenylsulfone (ppsu), polycarbonate (pc), polyetherimide (pei), polymethyl methacrylate (pmma), polyamide (pa), polyphenylenesulfide (pps), polyamide-imide (pai), polyphenylene ether (ppe), polyurethane (pu), other product covering the revenue growth of each sub-segment from 2019 to 2030.
Large civil aircraft are not manufactured in the UK and majority of the revenue is generated through exports. In October 2022, Jet2, a British low-cost leisure airline, strengthened its relationship with Airbus by ordering 35 new A320neo family aircraft.
The airline is optimistic about an increase in demand for leisure travel and wants to be ready by employing fuel-efficient modern narrow body planes. It has purchased a total of 98 A320neo series aircraft from Airbus till date. In addition, these 35 planes will cost the company USD 3.9 billion. These factors are expected to positively affect the aerospace plastics market over the forecast period.
