Market Size and Growth
The global aircraft potted-in inserts market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period (2023-2030) to reach a value of US$ 141.39 million in 2030.
Key Highlights for the Report:
➢Potted-in To enable the manufacture of ancillary interior aircraft structures like storage bins, galleys and restrooms, inserts are put in sandwich materials like honeycomb. There are several different types of inserts, including through, blind, locking and nonlocking.
➢ Most of the potted-in inserts have finishing such as CAD Plated, Passivation, Anodized, Silver Plating and Molikote. Now a days, apart from Aluminum and Steel, Titanium and Ultem are also becoming popular materials.
➢ Aircraft manufacturers have increased the adoption of lightweight products to cope up with the increasing demand for high fuel-efficiency. Moreover, shift of focus toward durable products offers opportunities in the aircraft potted-in inserts market.

Market Dynamics and Trends
- Potted-In Inserts are used to fasten honeycomb sandwich structures. They are commonly referred to as “Wall Panel Inserts” or “Floating Inserts” as they are mostly applied in aircraft walls and stowage bins to attach panels to the aircraft structure.
- However, potted inserts can be used anywhere particularly where blind hall the way through the panel, and are needed where inserts must be fixed with the panel skin. Adhesive bonding is used to place potted-in advertisements.
- They are made of high-tech composite thermoplastic; the inserts are corrosion-free, lightweight, high in strength, and low in cost.
Market Drivers
- The increasing share of wide-body aircraft in total commercial aircraft deliveries and increasing industrial and regional aircraft fleet size are driving the global Aircraft potted-in insert market.
- The increase in demand for lightweight sandwich panels and increasing demand for sheer inserts are boosting the global Aircraft potted-in insert market.
Market Restraints
- Aircraft structures use some sandwich panels to be lightweight. However, the core material is weak. The low strength of panels may affect the junction with the main structure of aircraft, due to the considerable variation of stresses along with discontinuous elements, which may hamper the growth of the global Aircraft potted-in insert market.
Market Segmentation
By material type, the market is segmented into Aluminum, Steel, Plastics, and Others. Aluminum is dominant in the global aircraft potted-in inserts market, and it is expected to grow in the forecast period because Aluminum offers corrosion resistance, is lightweight, has widespread usage in the fuselage, has excellent mechanical properties, and, control surfaces, interiors, engines, and other segments.
Market Geographical Analysis
North America is the largest aircraft potted-in insert market and it is expected to grow in the forecast period. It is due to the manufacturing capital of the aircraft industry with the presence of panel manufacturers, insert manufacturers, raw materials, and supplier distributors.
Major Application
- Companies are developing new technologies by using new and efficient materials to meet the specific requirements of the aircraft. The development of new products with lightweight and affordability is leading to a competitive environment in the market.
- In October 2016, STANLEY Engineered Fastening offered Spiralock® potted inserts, earlier Spiralock potted inserts were offered in Titanium and are now available in Aluminum for additional weight and cost savings. STANLEY Engineered Fastening also provides manufacture customized potted insert design, implementing the Spiralock self-locking threads to create a premier locking and reusable threaded insert for composite materials.
