Today, antimicrobial coatings are being used widely across all sectors. The demand for antimicrobial coatings is rapidly increasing in the aviation sector due to various factors like increased aircraft fleets and raising consciousness towards the importance of antimicrobial surfaces. It is worth noting that pesticides are not coatings.
Strong Antimicrobial Coatings Market for the Aerospace Segment
Airplanes face extreme weather and air pressure conditions. The products meant for aviation sector must be in compliance with the requirements of the industry. For example, the product used in the interior of the aircrafts must meet flammability requirement, non-corrosive and long service life along with limits on use of volatile organic components.
Advanced smart coatings are being developed with an odorless, non-toxic, and easy solution to protect travelers from harmful pathogens. Multifunctional and environment-friendly smart coating such as INVESIL for the aviation sector is a transparent and easy to apply product with a single coat solution. The INVESIL antimicrobial coating is available in various packaging such as aerosol sprays, wipes, bottles, and drums.
It is a simple coating process that protects the surface and prevents the attack of pathogens while contributing to the surface’s maintenance. It shields the body from corrosion, fog, U.V. rays, solar heat, and extreme weather conditions while reducing maintenance downtime.
Year 2020 witnessed the COVID-19 pandemic of extremely contagious viral infection. It created a need to do whatever possible to stop the spread of the virus across the world. People also realized the importance of an antimicrobial environment at the home, office, school, and public places. Antimicrobial surfaces that repel or kill microbes have become one of the powerful rays of hope for a safer tomorrow.

Airline industry is in dire need of tough longer lasting antimicrobial coating as there is not enough time between the flights to clean the airplane thoroughly and get rid of every hidden infected area. The rigorous use of most insecticides or pesticides will pose a big threat to the safety and integrity of the airplane structure. Waterborne spray with chloride ions could create significant corrosion issues leading to catastrophes. No other product but INVESIL can meet the stringent requirement of airline industry.
Dominant Factors in the Antimicrobial Aviation Coatings Market
Before COVID situation, the antimicrobial aviation coating market is expected to reach USD 31.2 million in 2022 from USD 20.9 million in 2016 with a CAGR OF 6.90 percent. The aviation sector’s overall coating market is estimated at USD 2433 million by the year 2023 from USD 1587 million in 2016, with a CAGR of 6.3 percent in the period.
“An enhanced preference for air travel and robust international trade has made the commercial aviation market the most promising market. Cutting edge technological developments like silver nanotechnology in coatings are encouraging further research and development in the field to manufacture better and affordable, longer lasting environment-friendly coatings. A sudden COVID-19 crisis has significantly affected the air travel and created an awareness on protection from pathogens in public places. The rise of new pathogens and threat of possible future pandemic situations has further fueled the market of antimicrobial coatings in the aviation sector.” – DR. ATUL TIWARI
