The unexpected shifts in the global markets because of the sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 virus have brought many major and minor tremors to industries of all sizes including the Aerospace Tapes Market.
It was estimated prior to this unanticipated outbreak that the Aerospace Tapes Market was likely to witness an impressive CAGR of 4.0% during the forecast period. However, the gradual slowing down of industries will undoubtedly impose limits on the previously estimated growth rate.
Market Share Analysis
Aerospace Tapes Market Share: By Resin Type
Based on the resin type, the market is segmented as acrylic, rubber, silicone, and others. The acrylic segment is expected to remain dominant with its unique properties such as high shear strength, fast-curing time, excellent resistance to oxidation, temperature, and UV radiation; color stability, exceptional anti-aging properties, good balance of adhesion and cohesion, remarkable water resistance, and high peel strength. Acrylics find wide usage in erosion protection of aircraft leading edges, propellers, de-icer systems, and helicopter rotors, the bonding of carpet, floorings and galley mats in aircraft, overlay films for instructions, leaflets, and surface and paint protection, owing to their excellent adhesion property.
Aerospace Tapes Market Share: By Backing Material Type
Based on the backing material type, the market is segmented as paper/tissue, film, foam, and others. The paper/tissue segment is expected to hold the largest share of the market, governed by its properties such as good holding power, heat insulation, and temperature resistance. Its thin, flexible and smooth texture makes its suitable for aircraft manufacturing.
Aerospace Tapes Market Share: By End-Use Industry Type
Based on the end-use industry type, the aerospace tapes market is segmented as commercial aviation, military aviation, and general aviation. The commercial aviation segment commands the market, with the standard of living improving in developing economies, making the demand for air travel to grow. Wide and narrow-body aircraft deliveries are expected to drive most of the market growth, with regional jet demand lagging behind.
Aerospace Tapes Market Share: By Region
In terms of regions, North America is estimated to be the largest-growing aerospace tapes market during the forecast period, despite the maturity of the market, there is a demand for aerospace tapes in countries such as the US and Canada, owing to the presence of manufacturing facilities and distribution networks of the major players in the market. The growth of the market is driven by the growth of the aerospace industry in North America, which plays a crucial role in monitoring the performance and commercialization of aerospace tapes. The Mexican aerospace tapes market is smaller as compared with the US and Canada, but it is a rapidly growing market as aerospace is one of the largest industries of the country’s manufacturing sector.
