Titanium Supply Shock Drives Up Spot Prices 35% and Extends Subassembly Lead Times
Aircraft Landing Gear Market 2025 to 2032: Supply Constraints, Backlog Economics and the Titanium Shock →What Changed
Sanctions and production limits reduced global titanium sponge availability by 12%, triggering a 35% spot-price spike for aerospace-grade Ti-6Al-4V. Component lead times for critical forgings and bearings jumped from 4–6 weeks to 20–40+ weeks entering 2026. This raw material bottleneck contributed to an estimated $11 billion direct supply chain cost impact across OEMs and MROs.
