India Aerospace Coating Market Overview:
The India aerospace coating market was valued at $80 million in 2016, and is projected to reach $130 million by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2017 to 2023.
In the aerospace industry, protective coatings are employed to offer high resistance against corrosion, solar heat & UV rays, fog, and climatic stress, which are responsible for causing wear & tear of metal surfaces. In addition, they reduce the overall weight of the aircraft, which leads to reduced CO2 emission. Commercial aviation, military aviation, and general aviation makes use aerospace coatings to reduce maintenance cost and overall weight to meet the emission standards. Specialized resins such as polyurethane resins, epoxy resins, and others such as silicone, polyester, and acrylic are used as aerospace coating materials.
Growth of aviation industry in India has been a major driver for the India aerospace coating market. Furthermore, development of chromium-free technology has surged the demand for aerospace coatings in India. However, fluctuating raw material prices and harmful environmental impact of chromium & lead-based heavy metals have hampered the market growth. On the contrary, the use of nanotechnology in the manufacturing of aerospace coating is expected create new opportunities for the market growth.

Analyst Review
The demand for aerospace coating has increased considerably across general aviation, commercial aviation, and military aviation, owing to increase in demand for chromium-free and environment-friendly aerospace coatings.
The growth of the India aerospace coating market is propelled by increase in air traffic that has boosted the purchase of commercial aircraft. This in turn has fueled the demand for associated facilities such as aerospace coatings, thereby supplementing the growth of the India aerospace coatings market. However, fluctuations in raw material prices tend to increase the cost of the coating resins, which hamper the market growth. The polyurethane resins dominate the market, owing to its growing use on both interior and exterior metal structures as a top coat in commercial, military, and general aviation aircraft to offer defense against chemical, staining, and abrasions. Solvent-based coating is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.6% and is anticipated to maintain its strong position in the future.
