A propeller is a propulsion device, which creates relative motion by pushing environmental fluid axially backwards by means of rotating blades mounted in a shaft, which is driven utilizing an engine. A pressure difference is created between forward and rear surfaces of the blades, generating thrust that is transmitted from blades to shafts and finally to the vehicle by means of engine supports. The number of blades in propeller decides the speed of ship or aircraft.
Increase in international seaborne trade, rise in commercial aircraft production, and surge in number of shipbuilding projects are the major factors that drive the growth of the propellers market. In addition, rise in marine tourism supplements the market growth. However, huge capital investment involved in setting up manufacturing facility and volatile cost of raw materials hinder the market growth. Technological innovations in propulsion engines, rise in R&D activities, and increase in demand from emerging economies are expected to provide potential opportunities for market expansion.
