Global Nanotechnology Enabled Coatings for Aircraft Market 2017-2021

Overview of the global nanotechnology enabled coatings for aircraft market

According to Technavio's market research report, the global nanotechnology enabled coatings for aircraft market will grow rapidly at a CAGR of more than 15% during the forecast period. One of the key factors that will stimulate the growth of the market during the predicted period is the increasing focus on the reduction of aerodynamic drag. OEMs and their suppliers are heavily investing in nanotechnology to improve the aerodynamic drag profile sine this will help prevent an increased consumption of fuel and also help improve the performance of the aircraft. This boosts the need for nanocoating because since they are developed from nanoparticles that help to fill thin cracks and imperfections. This reduces the aerodynamic drag and contaminating adhesion by forming a smooth airframe surface. The application of photo-responsive nanocomposite coatings on aircraft windscreens helps in the prevention of safety hazards by avoiding distractions to pilots during critical stages of flight.

The emergence of carbon nanotube (CNT) in airframe manufacturing is one of the key trends that will gain traction in the nanotechnology enabled coatings for aircraft market till 2021. The superior strength to weight ratio of aircrafts is ensured by using carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) during the manufacture of aircraft wings and fuselage. This will in turn, demand the need for the application of CNT-based polymer composites in the aerospace industry.
