Aerospace Adhesives and Sealants Market Analysis
Aerospace adhesives are used in the exterior parts, engine, and interior compartments of the aircraft. Sealants in general seal spaces that exist between one surface and the next. When sealant is being used, the space becomes air and watertight. Aerospace adhesives are applied on cockpit doors, lights, fasteners, and others. These are mainly used in the general aviation industry. Aerospace adhesives and sealants majorly pose the properties of toughness, viscosity, longer work time, and shorter cure time as per aerospace application requirements.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
- The general aviation industry has witnessed a major downfall owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Lockdown in many countries of the world has forced commercial sector to work from home. There was a ban on travel from one country to other which resulted in decline of demand in aerospace adhesives and sealants.
- The demand for spare parts is also down. Major downfall has led to huge losses for the aviation industries in many parts of the world.
- The whole aerospace sector value chain is negatively impacted by the outbreak of COVID-19
- Being capital intensive by nature, aircraft manufacturers are concerned about raising cash flow and liquidity.
- By the end of COVID-19, the aerospace adhesives and sealants market is anticipated to experience huge growth with more space for perfections and improvements.
- France, Germany, Spain and UK have majority of COVID-19 cases and these countries are also the major aerospace industries in Europe. For instance, Airbus has manufacturing operations in France, Germany, Spain, UK, and Italy. This consequently decreased the demand for polycarbonate sheet from the Aerospace & Defense industry.
- The market is expected to recover by 2022 as the vaccination drives have started in numerous countries.
- However, the aerospace sector will need financial support from government in the years ahead.
- The production and supply in the defense sector have witnessed little impact of COVID-19
- The demand for defense equipment and related services is expected to go down as the expenditure for defense sector may witness decline especially from developing countries. This is anticipated to decrease the demand for aerospace adhesives and sealants
Top Impacting Factors
- Other than the aerospace adhesives use in airways, it is used in other applications as well such as commercial and military and that’s where the manufacturers are focusing on as the general aviation industry is facing a major downfall.
