Aircraft coatings market was estimated at USD 525.0 Million in 2021 and is likely to grow at a CAGR of 9.7% from 2022-2027 to reach USD 1,029.6 Million in 2027.
Aircraft Coating Market to rebound in coming years.
The airline industry had been under immense pressure in the wake of weak economic growth, the US-China war, and matured local demand. The outbreak of the pandemic shook the industry to the core. As a result, the industry recorded a massive decline in the demand for coatings across regions, plummeting over 44.9% in the year 2020.
However, the demand for coatings in the aircraft industry is anticipated to rejuvenate gradually with the rebound in air passenger traffic. The year 2022 is witnessing an excellent recovery in air passenger traffic across regions.
An expected increase in the production rates of key commercial and military aircraft programs; increasing mergers and acquisition and re-branding activities in the airline industry; high need for coatings with excellent durability and longer maintenance cycle; stringent government emission regulations, such as REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals) and Euro Zone Crisis 2012; rising demand for eco-friendly coats; and innovations in coating products are estimated to remain the growth propellers of the aircraft coatings market.
What is Aircraft coating?
A coating is a covering that is put on top of an object, the latter is also known as a substrate. The coating may be used for operational, decorative, or a combination of both purposes.
The market for aerospace coatings is primarily driven by rising demand from various end users, including general, commercial, and military aircraft. Nanotechnology has been adopted in aerospace manufacturing as a result of the growing trend for lighter and more efficient aircraft.
Key Players
The market’s competitive landscape is quite different from the standard coatings market. Here, in aircraft coatings, a handful of players occupy a lion's share of the market. Furthermore, the revenue generated from the coatings business from the aircraft industry holds an insignificant share of their sales. The following are some of the key players in the aircraft coatings market:
The market is bifurcated into Polyurethane, Epoxy, and Others. Polyurethanes with a market share of >9% remain the most preferred material for coatings in the aircraft industry in the foreseen future. This coating type is also likely to witness the highest growth during the same period. The key features that have escalated the preference for polyurethane coatings in the aerospace industry are abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, protection against UV rays, a good wet look, and excellent adhesion to substrates at a relatively low cost. Furthermore, regulations for the reduction of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and requirements for chrome-free inhibitors create additional demand for this coating type in the aerospace industry.
By Aircraft Type
The market is segmented into Commercial Aircraft, Military Aircraft, and General Aviation. Commercial aircraft remain at the nucleus of all the leading marketstakeholders serving the aerospace industry. The segment is also likely to witness the highest growth during the forecast period, driven by an expected rise in the production rate of major commercial aircraft programs, such as B737, A320 family, A350XWB, and B737; expected entry of upcoming aircraft, such as COMAC C919; rising aircraft fleet; and higher M&A and re-branding activities in the airline industry. It is also anticipated that commercial aircraft with a market share of >10% will remain the most preferred aircraft segment for the market participants in the foreseeable future.
By Technology Type
The market is segmented into Water-Borne Coatings, Solvent-Borne Coatings, and Powder Coatings. Among these technology types, solvent-borne coating dominates the market with a growth of >8%, propelled by its better coverage, better metal protection, corrosion resistance, and excellent smooth surface finish. Within liquid coatings, solvent-based coating is the most dominant technology, whereas water-based coating is the fastest-growing technology because of its environmentally friendly nature.
By End User Type
The market is segmented into both OE and aftermarket are expected to experience healthy growth rates of >11% in the aircraft coatings market during the forecast period. Increasing aircraft production, growing aircraft fleet size, and increasing mergers and acquisitions and re-branding activities are driving both segments.
Regional Analysis
Asia-Pacific is expected to remain the largest market for aircraft coatings over the forecast period. In addition to that, this region is likely to witness healthy market growth of 10.4% in the coming years. Increasing passenger traffic in the Asia-Pacific region, primarily in China and India, is driving the commercial aerospace industry. This would lead to the highest demand for coatings in the region. Additionally, the upcoming indigenous commercial and regional aircraft, such as COMAC C919, are also pushing the demand for coatings in the Asia-Pacific region.
