Aerospace Coatings Set to Benefit from Surge in Carrier Aircraft Orders

(openPR) (Nashua, NH) – As aerospace manufacturers and their engineering teams push the design envelope to create aircraft with better fuel efficiency and lower maintenance requirements, they are relying increasingly on engineered materials for a growing list of structural and non-structural elements and components. This trend is changing the way aircraft are developed, produced and maintained. It’s also presenting opportunities for specialty materials suppliers with products that can improve production times, enhance performance, and/or extend maintenance intervals. Because of its ability to meet the needs of aircraft design teams, aerospace coatings are becoming an indispensible part of the aerospace industry.

While the commercial aircraft sector as a whole will continue to struggle with profitability issues that have resulted in several changes in the competitive landscape and in the operating models of the surviving companies, new aircraft orders from regional carriers - many based in emerging economies - are pushing order books and stretching lead times. The result for coatings suppliers will be increasing opportunities tempered by intense competition with regional suppliers for design wins. To participate fully in the evolving market opportunity for aerospace coatings, suppliers must be willing to invest heavily in pre-sales support by teaming with manufacturers to develop the pilot programs that will be required to bring new applications to market.

A recent survey conducted by Applied Data Research analyzes global markets for aerospace coatings. Survey results are contained in a new and comprehensive report. The report – Aerospace Coatings: Evolving Markets, Emerging Opportunities - provides product analysis, application assessments, market data, technology and market factors, and supplier profiles.
