The honeycomb core market has broad prospects, with the aerospace field being its largest demand end.

Honeycomb core, also known as honeycomb core material, is a low-density honeycomb material. Honeycomb core has the advantages of strong pressure resistance, sound absorption and heat insulation, lightweight, low production cost, green and environmental protection, etc., and is widely used in aerospace, rail transportation, construction engineering and other fields. According to different manufacturing materials, honeycomb cores can be divided into two categories: non-metallic honeycomb cores and metal honeycomb cores.

Metal honeycomb core is the representative product of honeycomb core. Metal honeycomb cores include stainless steel honeycomb cores, aluminum honeycomb cores, etc. Aluminum honeycomb core uses aluminum foil as the main raw material, and is made into finished products through multi-layer bonding, lamination, stretching, unfolding and other processes. Compared with other honeycomb cores, aluminum honeycomb cores have the advantages of good heat insulation, high temperature resistance, recyclability, and high strength. They are widely used in aerospace, household appliances, vehicle and ship decoration, construction engineering and other fields. With the growth of aluminum honeycomb core market demand, the development speed of the honeycomb core industry has further accelerated.

In recent years, with the continuous deepening of research and development, the market share of non-metallic honeycomb cores represented by aramid paper honeycomb cores has increased. The production process of aramid paper honeycomb core is relatively complex. It can be used as a lightweight and high-strength structural material in high-tech fields such as national defense and military industry, aerospace and aerospace. In the future, driven by technological innovation, the output and quality of aramid paper honeycomb cores in my country will increase, which will bring broad market prospects for honeycomb cores.

According to the “2023-2028 China Honeycomb Core Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center, honeycomb core industry Cores are mainly used in aerospace, rail transit, construction engineering and other fields. The aerospace field is the largest demand side for honeycomb cores. In civil aircraft, honeycomb cores can be used to make aircraft wings and floors; in military aircraft, honeycomb cores can be used to make stress-bearing components such as wing tips and wing skins. In August 2022, my country’s domestically produced large aircraft C919 completed its certification test flight. Its passenger and cargo cabin floors and doors used honeycomb core as the main material. Driven by downstream demand, my country’s honeycomb core market continues to expand.

The main manufacturers of honeycomb cores in my country include Suzhou Hongzan Honeycomb Materials Co., Ltd., Kunshan Bihao Honeycomb Materials Technology Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Rifa Precision Machinery Co., Ltd., Yantai Taihe New Materials Co., Ltd., Suzhou Beixin Honeycomb Technology Co., Ltd., Changzhou AVIC Qianhai New Materials Co., Ltd., etc. Rifa Precision Machinery is my country’s leading honeycomb core enterprise. The company has mastered the core production technology of aluminum honeycomb core, paper honeycomb core and other products.

Industry analysts said that honeycomb core, as a honeycomb composite material, has been widely used in many fields due to its excellent performance. As aerospace technology continues to make breakthroughs, the market demand for honeycomb cores will further grow. In recent years, with the in-depth research and technological progress of local enterprises, the development speed of my country’s honeycomb core industry has continued to accelerate.
