Aviation
Overview
The aviation industry is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by the urgent need to decarbonise and adopt sustainable practices. Airlines worldwide are facing increasing pressure from regulators in Singapore, South Korea and the EU to integrate sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) into their operations. This shift is essential to reduce the carbon footprint of air travel without disrupting existing infrastructure.
Similarly, defence and aerospace manufacturers are heavy users of specialised metals, often requiring niche materials that are not commonly assessed or covered. These industries are pivotal in advancing technology and maintaining national security, yet they face unique challenges in sourcing and pricing these critical components.
At Argus Media, we are committed to delivering precise market intelligence and tailored solutions to meet the unique needs of the aviation and aerospace industries. Our expertise spans over 50 years, ensuring that you receive the most accurate and actionable insights to drive your business forward.

Challenges faced by airlines
The SAF market is still in its infancy, evolving rapidly with changes in regulations, supply chains and technologies. Airlines must navigate this dynamic landscape while planning for future SAF usage. The high cost of SAF compared with conventional fuels has a significant impact on their bottom lines, making it crucial to stay ahead of regulatory updates to avoid fines and operational disruptions.
We have been at the forefront of biofuels for many years, offering bespoke consulting, regulatory updates and daily price reporting through the AOM platform. Our deep understanding of the biofuels market allows us to provide comprehensive insights, helping airlines manage the high costs of SAF and stay compliant with evolving regulations. With Argus, airlines can forecast, price, analyse and track regulations effectively, ensuring smooth transitions and operational efficiency.
Challenges faced by aerospace manufacturers
Defence and aerospace manufacturers often deal with non-standard, commoditised metals, making it difficult to negotiate fair value and assess pricing. The lack of reliable data for escalation clauses in term contracts further complicates the ability to maintain stable supplier relationships and manage costs effectively.
We offer unique pricing solutions for niche metals, backed by extensive market coverage and the Argus expertise. Our alloy calculator helps manage price risks with suppliers, factoring in market conditions and the actual content of finished parts. This tool reduces the need for frequent pricing debates and enhances the quality of supplier relationships. Additionally, our escalation clauses incorporate other pricing dynamics, providing a comprehensive approach to cost management.
