The Global Windows and Windshields Market in the Aerospace Industry: Highlights
The global windows and windshields market in the aerospace industry offers a moderate growth opportunity and is likely to witness 3.7% CAGR during the forecast period of 2016 to 2021. Increasing commercial and regional aircraft delivery, high growth of wide body aircraft, and technology advancement are the key drivers of the global windows and windshields market.
The aerospace industry keeps on looking for advancement in the technology to improve existing products with the purpose to provide better customer experience during the travel. Most of the aircraft platforms have acrylic based windows in their flight deck or aircraft cabin, but this trend has started to change with the commencement of the most advanced next generation B787 Dreamliner aircraft. B787 Dreamliner uses dimmable windows in the aircraft cabin supplied by Gentex Automotive. Gentex Automotive leveraged its proprietary electrochromic technology and worked with PPG Aerospace Transparencies Division to develop dimmable windows for B787’s aircraft cabin. These dimmable windows are very much interactive and smart and allow the passengers to control the amount of light entering the aircraft cabin. The passengers can dim the light to five different levels using a switch located next to the windows. The aircraft flight crew can also control all of the windows in the passenger cabin at the touch of a switch. Another advantage of these windows is the reduction in transmission of UV and infrared radiations.
North America is expected to remain the largest market for aerospace windows and windshields during the forecast period. Manufacturing base of the Boeing and Bombardier, and high commercial, regional, and general aviation fleet size are the major drivers for the North American dominance in the global aerospace windows and windshields market.
The supply chain of this market comprises raw material suppliers, component manufacturers, window and windshield manufacturers Aerospace OEMs and airline companies. The key aerospace OEMs are Boeing, Airbus, Embraer, Bombardier, ATR, Cessna, and Gulfstream. The key airline companies are Lufthansa, American Airlines, Delta Airlines, Air Asia Airlines, and China Airlines.
The global aerospace windows and windshields market is a highly consolidated market.
