Core Viewpoint - The low-altitude economy in China is rapidly developing, with a market size reaching 505.95 billion yuan in 2023 and expected to exceed 1 trillion yuan by 2026, driven by various aviation activities including drones and eVTOLs [3]. Industry Overview - The low-altitude economy encompasses a wide range of sectors including low-altitude flight, aviation tourism, regional passenger transport, and general aviation services, with a focus on the integration and collaborative development of the industry chain [3]. - The industry chain includes raw materials, core components, manufacturing of low-altitude aircraft, and operational services [3]. Company Insights - Evonik, a global chemical company headquartered in Germany, is projected to achieve sales of 15.2 billion euros and an adjusted EBITDA of 2.1 billion euros in 2024 [3]. - Evonik's ROHACELL® and ROHAFORM® high-performance foams are widely used in aerospace structures, providing significant weight reduction and cost savings in aircraft components [5]. Event Highlights - The 2025 Polymer Industry Annual Conference will take place from September 10-12 in Hefei, focusing on lightweight high-performance materials for eVTOL low-altitude aircraft [4]. - Key presentations will cover topics such as the application of PMI rigid foam products and long-chain nylon PA12 in low-altitude aircraft [4]. Technological Advancements - ROHACELL® has achieved significant weight reduction of 19% in aircraft structural components and has been validated for large-scale applications in critical parts of aircraft [5]. - The use of ROHACELL® in Dronamics' cargo drone "Black Swan" has resulted in over 50% improvement in fuel efficiency compared to traditional transport modes [5]. Forum Agenda - The forum will include discussions on the current application and demand for polymer materials in aerospace and low-altitude economies, featuring experts from various institutions [26][27]. - Topics will also explore the integration of low-altitude economy with the rubber and plastic industry, and the demand for new materials in this sector [26].
