Advancements in the launch industry and satellite technology are expected to spur growth in space-based services, according to a recent Deloitte report on aerospace and defense industry trends. Industry players are expected to use advancements in digital technology to streamline, design, adapt, and maintain their products.
Similarly, advanced air mobility is entering the mainstream with the help of traditional aerospace companies and private equity investors. With organizations testing and piloting new products, prototype deployments are expected to ramp up in 2022. Experts say competition will be fierce and recommend companies in this space immediately start developing a sound operational strategy.
At the same time, air travel has come roaring back, almost too fast for aerospace companies to ramp back up in terms of staffing and technology. Experts believe demand for small- and medium-sized aircraft will continue to bounce back to pre-pandemic levels in 2022 as aircraft manufacturers reap the rewards. Meanwhile, space travel companies are expanding their offerings as trips to space become a hot ticket.
Components made from aluminum extrusions that are lightweight, strong, and corrosion-resistant make the most sense for aerospace applications that are fueling industry growth.
