Airbus strategic agreement with Norsk Titanium (June 2026) adds qualified titanium capacity pathway
Aircraft Landing Gear Market 2025 to 2032: Supply Constraints, Backlog Economics and the Titanium Shock →Norsk Titanium signed a Cooperation & Research Agreement with Airbus to industrialize and qualify Rapid Plasma Deposition technology for high-criticality structural titanium parts. This comes as Airbus ramps the A320 Family toward 75 aircraft per month across ten final assembly lines, pulling qualified titanium demand upstream. Boeing's Q2 2026 backlog exceeding 6,200 aircraft reinforces sustained demand. Market forecasts remain moderate-growth with low volatility (5.3% CAGR to 2035).
Severity: how big the impact would be if this plays out.
Likelihood: how probable the engine judges it is to happen or persist.
Spend exposed: the share of your annual category spend this flags.
Track qualification milestones for additive titanium supply as an alternate source for landing gear inputs
Additive manufacturing qualification could diversify titanium sourcing ahead of the demand growth locked in by production ramps.
