Stealth Coating Market Outlook - 2027
The global stealth coating market was valued at $249.0 million in 2019, and is projected to reach $375.0 million by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 5.3% from 2020 to 2027.
Stealth coating is a radar absorbing material applied on the aircrafts to reduce radar cross-section; thereby, making them difficult to detect by radars. In addition, it is also applied on the cars for UV protection and protection from chips, scratches, road debris, & malicious damages.
The global stealth coating market is primarily driven by surge in demand for stealth coatings from aerospace & defense and automotive industry as these coatings provide several properties such as strength, durability, and chemical resistance. In addition, stealth coatings have a very high heat deflection temperature and provides a scratch and impact-resistant finish. Furthermore, it also provides a high level of ultraviolet (UV) & water resistance and are easy to clean. In addition, consumption of stealth coating across the U.S. has been increased significantly in past three decades, owing to surge in production of stealth aircrafts, naval ships, and drones such as F-22 Raptor, F-35 Lightning II, and B-2 Spirit, Independence-class littoral combat ship, Zumwalt-class destroyer, Northrop Grumman RQ-180, and Lockheed Martin RQ-170 Sentinel. In addition, countries such as Russia and China have also developed stealth aircrafts such as Sukhoi Su-57 and Chengdu J-20, and are investing heavily on the development of stealth technology, which is likely to surge the demand for stealth coating during the forecast period.
However, high cost of stealth coating and decline in production of stealth aircrafts, ships, and drones amid the lockdowns declared by the government of various countries such as Russia, China, and Russia due to outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic is expected to restrain the stealth coating market growth. Furthermore, surge in investment by developing countries such as China and India in the development and production of stealth aircrafts, ships, and drones are likely to provide opportunities for the growth of the global stealth coating market.
The global stealth coating market size is segmented on the basis of resin type, application, and region. On the basis of resin type, it is divided into epoxy, polyurethane, and polyimide. By application, it is fragmented into aerospace & defense, and automotive. Region wise, the stealth coating market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
The major key players operating in the global stealth coating market include Intermat Defense, CFI Solutions, Hyper Stealth Technologies Pvt Ltd., Stealth Coatings Inc., Micromag, Veil Corporation, and Stealth Veils. These major key players adopt strategy, such as product launch, to stay competitive in the global stealth coating market.
