“Titanium is used in applications requiring corrosion resistance or lighter weight strength than steel: widebody landing gear, engine fan and compressor sections, wing-to-fuselage joins, etc. It also carries a supply challenge the other aircraft metals do not. A meaningful share of aerospace-grade titanium sponge and mill product was supplied by Russia, and Western OEMs and their suppliers are now working to qualify around that dependency. The supply base is having to restructure even as demand climbs.

The Aerospace Titanium market report characterizes global demand, analyzes upstream supply risk for titanium and its alloying elements, maps the supply base, and forecasts the demand for titanium mill product. It includes:

• Titanium demand split by aircraft system, OEM, form, grade family, and airframe versus engine, with a five-year buy-weight forecast
• Upstream supply-risk assessment by alloying element, with dedicated risk views for China, Russia, and Ukraine
• The implications for the remaining supplier base of Western aerospace moving away from VSMPO-AVISMA
• Supplier profiles and market shares for the top aerospace mills including ATI, Howmet, PCC TIMET, and others
• New titanium grades, material substitution trends, and additive manufacturing adoption

Built for aerospace strategy, procurement and supply chain, and investor teams sourcing a metal where the qualified supplier list is short and the geopolitics are live.”
