Overview of the global military aircraft hangars market
The global military aircraft hangars market is expected to grow at a steady rate and will post a CAGR of close to 3% during the forecast period. Factors such as the establishment of military infrastructure on remote islands will drive the growth prospects for the market’s growth during the forecast period. Several countries are focusing on establishing and maintaining military infrastructures in remote areas, which holds a strategic importance during combat situations. Since World War II, the US Department of Defense has built and sustained military infrastructures to sustain themselves under emergency needs. Also, the Government of India has constructed military infrastructures in Assumption island, Seychelles, to gain a strategic advantage in the West African region, especially for defense and maritime security purposes. Since hangars in the defense sector serve as a key resource to strategize, develop, operate, and maintain a sturdy fleet of combat aircraft, its demand among the defense end-users is anticipated to increase over the next few years.
According to Technavio’s research studies, the construction of hangar museums for public display will drive the market’s growth during the forecast period. One of the purposes for hangar museums is to elucidate people regarding the military capabilities and encourage them to join military services. Some of the hangar museums are also being used as a public gallery to showcase a comprehensive collection of retired fighters and other weapons.
