Market Dynamics

Introduction

Aircraft tapes are basically thin films or sheets used for composite bonding, surface protection, high temperature masking, moisture barrier, painting & stripping, thermal insulations, and others in both interior and exterior applications of an aircraft.

As the aviation industry is focusing towards reducing the weight of an aircraft, tape plays a crucial role by eliminating fasteners and provides better aesthetic appearance. Aircraft tapes can be classified based on resin type into acrylic, rubber, silicone, and others. Most used backing materials of these tapes are paper/tissue, film, foam, glass cloth, and foil. Based on the application served, these tapes can be categorized as specialty and masking tapes.

Market Drivers

The prime factors that are driving the aircraft tapes market are increasing demand for lightweight and fuel-efficient aircraft, rising passenger traffic leading to increasing demand for commercial aircraft, replacement of old/aged aircraft, and upgradation and modernization of existing aircraft.
