Aircraft Paints Market Analysis

The Aircraft Paints Market size is estimated at USD 1.35 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 1.51 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 2.27% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The growth of the aviation market, fuelled by increasing deliveries of commercial and military aircraft, is expected to drive the growth of the aircraft paints market during the forecast period. The need to refurbish the old aircraft that are in service is also generating revenues for the aircraft paints market.

Additionally, the development of new eco-friendly aircraft painting and coating products that can reduce weight and increase fuel efficiency is expected to impact the market's growth. In April 2023, AkzoNobel developed the Aerofleet Coatings Management system, which uses data gathered over several years to ensure that aircraft are only repainted when needed, not according to a fixed schedule alone.

Aircraft paints must adhere to rigorous quality criteria to guarantee longevity, resistance to corrosion, and visual attractiveness. Upholding and attaining these criteria frequently necessitates the utilization of cutting-edge materials and technologies, thereby augmenting the total expense of the coating. Small-scale manufacturers or operators face challenges acquiring these high-quality materials and procedures while staying within budget constraints.

Aircraft Paints Market Trends

Commercial Aviation Segment to Dominate Market Share

The market is currently led by the commercial aircraft segment, a trend projected to persist in the forecast period. As global passenger traffic stages a recovery post-pandemic, it's on track to surpass pre-pandemic levels by the close of 2023, largely fueled by a surge in domestic travel. This uptick in domestic passengers will propel a robust demand for commercial aircraft in the coming years, subsequently impacting the aircraft paints market.

Airlines have significantly ramped up their aircraft procurement to meet the rising air travel demand. By the close of 2023, Airbus had delivered 735 aircraft, while Boeing's deliveries were around 528. This pace indicates a sustained production and delivery momentum for commercial aircraft in the forecast period.

In a significant move in February 2023, Air India ordered 250 aircraft from Airbus, including 140 A320neo, 70 A321neo, six A350-900, and 34 A350-1000 aircraft. However, in December 2023, the airline modified its order to 140 A321neo, 70 A320neo, 20 A350-900, and 20 A350-1000 aircraft. Such robust commercial aircraft production and delivery are poised to drive growth in the aircraft paints market's commercial segment.

Asia-Pacific to Showcase Remarkable Growth During the Forecast Period

Strong economic growth and favorable demographics are propelling air passenger traffic in developing nations across the Asia-Pacific. Over the past decade, the region witnessed a notable surge in air travel, driven largely by its appeal as a tourist destination and the increasing accessibility of air travel. This trend is poised to continue through the forecast period.

China stands at the forefront of the global commercial aviation rebound, buoyed by robust domestic demand. This surge not only aids airlines in their financial recovery but has also solidified China's position as a pivotal hub in the aviation landscape. Notably, commercial aviation has been a cornerstone of China's aviation sector, with Boeing highlighting China as the world's largest aviation market. Bolstered by a surge in domestic air travel, surpassing even North America, China's aviation market is projected to grow at a rapid 4.4% rate by 2040.

As tensions simmer between neighboring nations and with foreign powers establishing military bases, countries in the Asia-Pacific are ramping up their military spending. For instance, in July 2023, Australia finalized an order to buy 20 Hercules military transport planes in a USD 6.6 billion deal. The new C-130J Hercules aircraft will replace and expand upon the aging fleet of a dozen planes currently operated by the Royal Australian Air Force, with delivery of the first expected from 2027. Such developments will drive the demand in the region during the forecast period.

Aircraft Paints Industry Segmentation

An aircraft must be able to survive extreme weather, flex bends, and chemicals, among other things. As a result, aircraft paint is a specific sort of paint that is used to paint commercial aircraft, whether new or old. Epoxy and enamel paints are the most common types of paint used for these applications. These coatings are frequently costly, but they are believed to be extremely durable because aircraft operate in harsh environments.

Since aviation paint, unlike other paints used in autos and buildings, fades over time, airlines like their planes painted to match their designs and colors. As per the scope of the study, the market report covers coatings, primers, and paints for the interior and exterior parts of the aircraft. The market study will also include paints and coatings for parts and components like engines, fuel tanks, and titanium parts.
