Fibers are a source of reinforcement in engineering polymer composites, responsible for strength and stiffness. As in composites, stress is transferred from fiber to polymer and vice versa, and high mechanical properties are only acquired if appropriate compatibility exists between the matrix and reinforcement. The aviation industry generates around 2-3% of all human-induced Co2 emissions and 12% of the emissions of the transportation industry. The higher consumption of fuel in the aircraft leads to larger emissions of greenhouse gases and contributes to global warming. Moreover, the higher level of fuel consumption leads to higher cost, thus, increasing the operational cost of airlines. The aerospace industry is constantly focusing on producing fuel-efficient, lighter, yet stronger materials. Thus, the industry has shifted from using aluminum, steel, and titanium to composites. Currently, the use of composites has reduced around 50% of the structural weight of the aircraft, thus, increasing the fuel efficiency to around 20% and reducing the noise by around 5%, as well as decreasing the maintenance cost by around 30%.

Lighting systems are deployed in aircraft to illuminate the interior and exterior of aircraft, thereby offering enhanced visibility of the surrounding. Lighting comprises signaling devices as well as other display devices, which increase the conspicuity of the aircraft. The aircraft lighting market has witnessed significant growth over years, owing to increase in trend of advanced lightings to be installed in aircraft. For the purpose of analysis, the global aircraft lighting market is segmented into interior light, exterior light, aircraft application, light type, and region. The report provides details of various interior lights such as emergency lights, specialty lights, wash lights, reading lights, and lavatory lights. In addition, it overs covers information of exterior lights, including aircraft visibility lights, pilot lights, and specific purpose lights. The study further highlights the revenue generated from various aircraft type, which include commercial, business jets, military, and helicopters. Moreover, it focuses on various light type, including florescent light and LEDs. Furthermore, the report includes the revenue generated from aircraft lightning systems across various geographical regions such as North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

Honeycomb sandwich is a structure with three layers, which offers high strength, stiffness, corrosive resistance, minimum raw material requirement. Increase in space and aviation activities across the world drives the market growth. These materials are widely used in the construction, automotive, and marine industries, as these provide remarkable mechanical properties and are lightweight, thus conserving fuel and reducing the weight of the marine vehicle. However, capital-intensive nature due to high cost of production and raw materials hampers the growth of the honeycomb sandwich material market. Meanwhile, 3D printing of honeycomb panels is expected to provide lucrative opportunities to the honeycomb material manufacturers.
