Growing Demand for Chemical Surface Treatment Solutions

   August 11, 2023

The aviation sector uses chemical surface treatment solutions for various functions, including aircraft maintenance, cleaning, and deicing. The increasing number of commercial airlines, the growing demand for air travel, and the rise of low-cost carriers drive the demand for chemical surface treatment solutions in the aviation sector. These chemicals are crucial to ensure the optimal condition of aircraft, facilitate passenger safety, and meet stringent maintenance requirements set by regulatory bodies such as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) (U.S.) and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) (Germany).

Chemical surface treatment solutions are used for aircraft cleaning and disinfection, corrosion prevention, lubrication, and fuel treatment. The chemicals are used in aircraft for coating, polishing, corrosion control, pest control, and environmental maintenance, among other applications. Thus, the growing demand for chemical surface treatment solutions among aircraft manufacturers drives the growth of the surface treatment solutions market for aviation MRO.

1 INCREASING GOVERNMENT FOCUS ON THE AVIATION SECTOR

Under its Union Budget 2023–2024, the Indian government aims to develop 100 airports in India by 2024 (under the UDAN program). It plans to invest USD 1.83 billion in airport infrastructure development by 2026. To date, 74 airports have been developed, and over 11 million passengers have availed of the benefits of 2,15,000 UDAN flights.

According to the Sheffield School of Aeronautics (U.S.), in 2022, the United States Armed Forces had more than 14,000 military aircraft in its inventory. According to the 10-year Aircraft Investment Plan announced by the U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense, there were 14,061 aircraft in U.S. fleets as of 2019. This number was projected to grow steadily till 2023, followed by a gradual reduction each year through 2028. This factor makes the U.S. an attractive market for aviation MRO surface treatment solution providers.

In January 2022, Chinese authorities announced plans to develop the country's civil aviation industry during the 14th FiveYear Plan period (2021–2025). By the end of 2025, China is expected to have over 270 civil transport airports, which will handle 17 million takeoffs and landings a year, according to the plan released by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC). China's civil aviation sector will handle 930 million passenger trips and 9.5 million metric tons of cargo and parcels annually by 2025. Thus, increasing government focus on the aviation sector is driving the demand for surface treatment solutions for aviation MRO, boosting the growth of this market.

2 INCREASING ADOPTION OF AEROSPACE PAINTING & COATING SOLUTIONS FOR AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE

Aviation coatings, also known as aircraft or aerospace coatings, are used by aircraft production, repair, and maintenance teams to extend the life of aircraft structures. Jets, airplanes, helicopters, and other aircraft are layered with advanced aircraft coatings and paint to maintain their appearance and protect them against corrosion. Effective and quality coatings are required to safeguard aircraft surfaces from extreme weather conditions, boost dirt resistance, and minimize drag.

Many aerospace coatings manufacturers are working closely with aerospace industries to develop high-grade aircraft coatings. With advancements in paint technology, new solutions are being developed to allow aerospace manufacturers to create aircraft with distinctive appearances. A unique and attractive appearance enables aerospace brands to differentiate themselves from other brands and stay ahead of the competition. Thus, the increasing adoption of aerospace coating & painting solutions to improve aircraft maintenance and appearance is driving the growth of the surface treatment solutions market for aviation MRO.

Some of the recent key developments in the surface treatment solutions market for aviation MRO are as follows:

  • In April 2023, Akzo Nobel N.V. (Netherlands) launched the Aerofleet Coatings Management system to optimize paint maintenance schedules for customers' entire fleets.
  • In December 2021, The Sherwin-Williams Company (U.S.) launched the Aircraft Color Visualizer. This web-based tool lets plane owners, paint shops, aircraft designers, OEMs, and aviation enthusiasts digitally visualize different color combinations on various aircraft types.

Such developments are expected to create growth opportunities for the players operating in this market.
