LONDON (Reuters) - The London Metal Exchange (LME) said on Monday it planned to launch six cash-settled futures contracts on June 14, 2021.

It said in a notice to market participants that these contracts were for European aluminium premiums, U.S. aluminium scrap, lithium hydroxide, European hot rolled steel, steel scrap in India and steel scrap in Taiwan.

The LME is the world's oldest and largest market for industrial metals.

It said last week it would push ahead with plans to support sustainable metal production starting with the roll-out by mid-2021 of a digital register to store carbon-related details of aluminium.

  • Aircraft Floor Panel Market in Europe to 2027 - by Aircraft Type, Material Type, Sales Channel, and End-user

    Dublin, Jan. 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Europe Aircraft Floor Panel Market Forecast to 2027 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis by Aircraft Type, Material Type, Sales Channel, and End User" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The Europe aircraft floor panel market is expected to grow from US$ 186.63 million in 2019 to US$ 325.57 million by 2027; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 9.7% from 2020 to 2027. Highlighting aircraft orders and delivery volumes are expected to boost the growth of the Europe aircraft floor panel market. The Europe aviation industry is undergoing expansion at a rapid pace, recording significant production volumes and deliveries of aircraft (commercial and military) fleet. Specifically, the commercial aviation industry has witnessed tremendous growth in the past few years with the emergence of new low cost carriers and fleet expansion strategies adopted by the full service carriers. Further, commercial aviation is foreseen to surge in the coming years owing to the mounting number of air travel passengers and aircraft procurement. This surge in aircraft production is boosting the demand for aircraft floor panels across Europe. Owing to continuously rising production volumes to bridge the gap between demand and supply of aircraft, the OEMs are increasingly procuring large volumes of aircraft floor panels. In the current scenario, the demand for both wide body and narrow body aircraft fleet is high. However, the inclination toward long-range, narrow body type is increasing as the majority of commercial aviation companies across Europe are focusing on increasing fleet size along with lowering operational costs. Rise in aircraft production due to surge in number of passengers is expected to increase the demand for floor panels, thereby driving the Europe aircraft floor panel market.Europe, especially the UK, is highly affected due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The European aviation industry is composed of aircraft OEMs, component suppliers, airlines, and MRO service providers. The COVID-19 outbreak has affected each aviation business stakeholder's business in the region. Several airlines in the region have postponed the pending aircraft fleet's procurement dates to manage their current operational costs during COVID-19 times and post-COVID-19 times. This has led the aircraft OEMs and component suppliers to suffer economic loss. This factor has had a negative result on the European aircraft floor panel market players. From the commercial aviation perspective and MRO perspective, several airlines have grounded a notable number of fleets with an aim to drive their business with the remaining fleet as the passenger count has drastically reduced across the region. Apart from this factor, the ban on air travel had forced the airlines and corporate jets to temporarily cease their operations, thereby lowering the MRO shop visits, resulting in the procurement of lesser volumes of aircraft floor panels and other components MRO facilities. This parameter also affected the aircraft floor panels market.Based on material type, the nomex honeycomb segment led the Europe aircraft floor panel market in 2019. Presently, nomex honeycomb floor materials is one of the most common materials used in aircraft structures with good electrical insulating properties. It possesses outstanding high impact strength and performs excellently on the food cart roller test in the aircraft. Rise in demand for light-weight, tough, and corrosion and heat resistant products boosts the use of reliable components made from nomex honeycomb in aerospace & defense applications. The properties of this material result in low maintenance costs and emissions as compared to other traditional materials that are used for manufacturing aircraft. The Gill Corporation provides robust, corrosion resistant, and light-weight Gillcore HK, Gillcore HA, and Gillcore HD Nomex honeycomb products. Their products are used for floor panels for the under-seat areas of the passenger compartment in Airbus aircraft, such as A318, A319, A320, A321, A330, and A340. Benefits of nomex honeycomb, such as light-weight, toughness, and corrosion resistance, are likely to boost the demand for nomex honeycomb material during the forecast period, thereby driving the Europe aircraft floor panel market.Reasons to Buy Save and reduce time carrying out entry-level research by identifying the growth, size, leading players and segments in the Europe aircraft floor panel market.Highlights key business priorities in order to assist companies to realign their business strategiesThe key findings and recommendations highlight crucial progressive industry trends in the Europe aircraft floor panel market, thereby allowing players across the value chain to develop effective long-term strategiesDevelop/modify business expansion plans by using substantial growth offering developed and emerging marketsScrutinize in-depth Europe market trends and outlook coupled with the factors driving the aircraft floor panel market, as well as those hindering itEnhance the decision-making process by understanding the strategies that underpin commercial interest with respect to client products, segmentation, pricing and distribution Key Topics Covered: 1.
