Product Definition:
Aircraft windows and windshields are important because they provide visibility for the pilot. They also allow air and light to enter the aircraft.
Cabin Windows:
Cabin windows are the transparent panels that are installed in commercial aircraft for offering passengers an attractive view. These windows help in increasing the passenger’s comfort level and also reduce the cabin temperature by reducing solar gain and infrared loss. The growth of this market is directly proportional to increase in air passenger traffic, especially during winters when flying conditions can be unpleasant due to extreme cold.
Windshields:
Windshields and its usage in aircraft windows and windshields market is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. The primary factor responsible for this growth is safety concern, which has been increasing with time. In addition, technological advancement such as the introduction of laminated windshield that prevents passengers from being thrown out of the aircraft during turbulence or windy conditions is also a key driver for this market’s growth.
Application Insights:
The commercial aircraft windows and windshields market is segmented on the basis of application as passenger, pilot, and crew. The defense segment held a majority share in 2017. Increasing defense expenditure by countries such as U.S., China, India and Russia is expected to drive the demand for aircraft windows over the forecast period.
Passenger aircraft are generally equipped with single-pane of glass for each window to provide natural light and ventilation inside cabin areas. However, multiple panes of glass are installed in some cases to improve visibility from inside or outside depending upon its position in an airplane window assembly (inner or outer).
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global aircraft windows and windshields market in 2016. The growth can be attributed to stringent government regulations regarding aviation safety, high expenditure on defense research, development, and procurement by governments of U.S., Canada, and Mexico coupled with high demand for new commercial aircraft by airlines such as Delta Air Lines Inc., United Airlines Inc., American Airlines Group Inc., etc. is expected to drive the regional market over the forecast period.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness significant growth over the next eight years owing to increasing number of airline companies such as Singapore Airlines Ltd.; Malaysia Airlines; Garuda Indonesia; China Eastern airlines Corporation Limited; Air India Ltd.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for air travel: The global air travel industry is growing at a rapid pace, owing to the increasing number of passengers opting for air travel. This is expected to drive the demand for aircraft windows and windshields in the coming years.
- Technological advancements: Aircraft windows and windshields are witnessing technological advancements, with new materials and technologies being introduced in the market. This is likely to boost the growth of this market in the near future.
- Stringent safety regulations: Stringent safety regulations pertaining to aircraft windows and windshields are fuelling their demand across different regions worldwide. This is anticipated to create lucrative opportunities for players operating in this market over the next few years.
