The rise in the number of air passengers is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as fluctuating cost of raw materials used in aerospace coatings may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The rise in the number of air passengers is the key factor driving the growth of the global aerospace coatings market. The rise in air travel globally is attributed to several factors, including the increased demand for business and leisure travel, the expansion of commercial routes, and the emergence of low-cost airlines. Increased demand for air travel has led to increased aircraft production and increased demand for aerospace coatings. The increase in air travel has also led to an increase in the number of low-cost airlines, which has had a major impact on the growth of the aerospace coatings market.
Moreover, the increasing focus on fuel efficiency and reducing carbon emissions has led to the development of advanced aerospace coatings that improve the aerodynamics of aircraft. These coatings help in reducing drag and turbulence, thereby reducing fuel consumption, which ultimately leads to a reduction in carbon emissions. In addition, the development of eco-friendly coatings that do not release VOCs has also boosted the demand for aerospace coatings. Thus, the above-mentioned factors are expected to drive the growth of the global aerospace coating market during the forecast period.
The rise in the adoption of nano-coating is the primary trend shaping the global aerospace coatings market growth. Nano-coatings refer to nano-scale thin films applied to the surface of aerospace components to enhance material functions such as water and ice protection, corrosion resistance, antifouling and antimicrobial properties, friction reduction, self-cleaning, thermal property management, and heat and radiation resistance. The focus on reducing the overall weight of aircraft to improve energy efficiency has increased the use of nanotechnology in the manufacturing of aircraft and related components. Nanoparticle powders of ceramics and plastics are used in aircraft engine coatings.
While plastic allows the formation of tiny pores, which provide elasticity, ceramic provides heat insulation. The powder composition is heated up to 12,632-degree F-14,432 degree F to melt the ceramic particles. Subsequently, it is applied to the engine using the plasma spray coating technique. The coating forms a 0.5 mm-thick layer, which is thinner than traditional coatings. This ensures flexibility and reduces the overall weight of aircraft engine components. Nanoceramic coatings are mainly used for protecting aircraft and aircraft engines from heat. Thus, such advancements in aerospace coatings are expected to fuel the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
The fluctuating cost of raw materials used in aerospace coatings is a major challenge impeding the growth of the global aerospace coatings market. Aerospace coatings are used to protect aircraft from extreme temperatures, corrosion, and other environmental factors. However, the cost of raw materials used in these coatings can vary widely, and these fluctuations can impact the cost of production and, ultimately, the price of the product. One of the primary raw materials used in aerospace coatings is titanium dioxide (TiO2), which is used as a pigment and provides whiteness and opacity. The price of TiO2 has been volatile in recent years due to factors such as changes in its supply and demand, trade disputes, and geopolitical tensions. In 2020, the price of TiO2 rose to its highest level in almost a decade, and it is expected to remain high in 2023.
Other raw materials used in aerospace coatings, such as solvents, pigments, and additives, can also be affected by supply and demand disparities, global economic conditions, and other factors. Manufacturers must manage their supply chains and monitor prices carefully to ensure that they can obtain raw materials at a reasonable cost and maintain profitability. Thus, such factors may negatively hamper the growth of the global aerospace coating market during the forecast period.
The report includes the adoption lifecycle of the market, covering from the innovator’s stage to the laggard’s stage. It focuses on adoption rates in different regions based on penetration. Furthermore, the report also includes key purchase criteria and drivers of price sensitivity to help companies evaluate and develop their growth strategies.
