Description

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Aviation Container Board market size was valued at US$ 212 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 289 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 4.5% during review period.
Aerospace container boards, also known as air cargo pallets, are the core load-bearing base plates for aviation containers. They are typically used in conjunction with container nets or canopies to quickly assemble loose cargo into standardized loading units. They are compatible with aircraft cargo hold locking points and ground ball bearings, roller conveyors, and other loading and unloading systems, thereby improving loading efficiency and turnaround capacity. Common industry models are distinguished by ULD codes and standard dimensions, such as PMC (approximately 96×125 inches), PAG (approximately 88×125 inches), and PLA (approximately 60.4×125 inches). As aviation components related to flight safety, products must meet requirements for structural strength, rigidity, locking point interface compatibility, corrosion resistance, and flame retardancy. They are typically subject to compliance verification and labeling management according to airworthiness frameworks such as the FAA TSO C90 series and EASA ETSO C90 series. In 2025, the global production of Aviation Container Boards reached 212.6 k units, with an average price of approximately US$969.91 per unit and a gross profit margin of approximately 34.43%.
Major global aviation container board manufacturers include TransDigm (Nordisk & AAR Cargo), Satco, Inc., and Safran (Zodiac Aerospace), with the top three globally holding over 35% of the market share. Currently, the Asia-Pacific region is the world's largest aviation container board market, accounting for over 35% of the market share, followed by North America and Europe, which together account for approximately 55%. As a fundamental piece of equipment for standardized loading in air freight, the demand for aviation container boards is highly synchronized with global air freight volume, cargo structure, and airline network layout. In recent years, the increasing proportion of time-sensitive cargo such as cross-border e-commerce, pharmaceuticals, and high-value-added components has driven airlines and cargo terminals to place greater emphasis on loading efficiency, turnover rate, and error rate control. Simultaneously, the global in-service ULD (Unique Container Board) fleet is enormous, and the high annual costs associated with maintenance and loss mean the market benefits not only from increased air freight volume but also from the continuous demand for replacement and upgrading of existing ULDs. From the supply side, lightweighting and durability are becoming core paths to increasing value. On the one hand, standard-sized pallets offer greater versatility in cross-airline interchange and ULD pooling operations, with procurement focusing more on product consistency, maintainability, and delivery stability. On the other hand, material and structural upgrades (such as superior aluminum alloy structural design, localized composite material application, and reinforcement of side rails and corner fittings) are expected to reduce weight and damage frequency without sacrificing strength and interface compatibility, thereby generating quantifiable operational benefits over the entire lifecycle cost. Industry challenges primarily focus on three aspects: airworthiness and quality system thresholds, cost fluctuations, and global service capabilities. As aviation components related to flight safety, products must achieve stable and consistent compliant delivery under requirements such as structural integrity, flame retardancy, and labeling, and must meet corresponding technical standards within frameworks such as FAA and EASA. Simultaneously, fluctuations in raw material and processing costs, and uncertainties in supply chain delivery times can disrupt prices and profits. Furthermore, with the increasing prevalence of ULD pooling and leasing models, customers are placing higher demands on maintenance networks, spare parts support, and digital tracking capabilities. Overall, the aviation container board market is expected to maintain low to mid-single-digit growth. Driven by the increasing proportion of lightweight, high-durability, and high-certification products, the growth rate of value volume is expected to slightly outpace the growth rate of shipment volume.
