Windows and Windshield Market in Commercial Aircraft Industry Analysis by Leading key Leaders: Gentex, GKN Aerospace, PPG Industries, Lee Aerospace, AIP Aerospace, AJW Aviation, Nordam and TBM Glass

Market Highlights:

Aircraft windows and windshields are designed to enable outside view, while also protecting passengers from external environment. Modern aircraft windows and windshields are designed on 'fail-safe' concept, such that the chances of complete window failure is minimized. The design consists of several layers of glass plies with interlayers between them. Windows also act as thermal insulators. In case of passenger cabin windows, the outer pane shields passengers from the cold external environment while the inner pane keeps humidity from condensing and frosting.

Global Commercial Aircraft Windows and Windshield Market are expected to grow at a CAGR of around 4% during 2016-2021. As per the MRFR analysis, increasing demand for improved and low maintenance aircraft and windshield, increasing focus on passenger comfort, and growing fleets are the key market drivers of the market.

Globally, the demand for commercial aircraft windows and windshields has been increasing, along with the increase in demand for aircraft. A majority of the global commercial aircraft windows and windshields revenue comes from the narrow-body commercial aircraft segment (for example, Airbus A320 and Boeing 737). Moreover, there has been a surge in demand for low-maintenance and improved aircraft windows and windshields. Continuous modifications into design and constructions of aircraft windows and windshields help to enhance service life of parts and indirectly lead to lesser maintenance of parts.

The global Commercial Aircraft Windows and Windshield Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of above 4%, during the forecast period of 2017-2023.

For aircraft operators, the maintenance and repair cost associated with aircraft parts and components, constitute a major chunk of the operational cost. For example, the possibility of cracks around the bolt hole minimizes by the installation of thicker windows glass plies along with bushes. During repair and maintenance the thickness of the window get reduce. If this thickness of the window reduces beyond the described standard specifications then the windows can no longer be used in aircrafts. Thus, using thicker windows (however, preference to lightweight materials) increases the service life of the windows, as it allows for more number of repairs that can be performed without reaching the minimum threshold thickness for the window. In general, the aircraft window replacement cost itself can range from $2,000 to $300,000 depending on the aircraft type and window. Apart from the cost involved, aircraft windows maintenance and repair is a highly sophisticated task. The growing number of aircraft worldwide, along with new aircraft development programs, boosts the market for aircraft windows and windshields.

Majority of the existing fleet of aircraft consists of normal acrylic windows in the aircraft cabin. However, the trend has been slowly shifting towards the utilization of interactive and smart windows. For example, Boeing 787 Dreamliner has used dimmable windows, supplied by Gentex Corp. Dimmable windows allow passengers to enjoy the view without any annoying glare. Furthermore, a passenger can control the degree of shade to manage the amount of light entering the cabin. The development of lightweight materials for the aerospace industry has also been growing at a rapid pace. New materials are being utilized for aircraft windows and windshields to achieve increased durability, because they are more robust and lighter. However, acrylic is an oil-based product and the price in the market is affected by the rise and fluctuation in oil prices. Thus, price in the market may differ based on the time of order and the international market scenario. As a result, suppliers increase the price of their products and raw materials, which affects the cost of production for aircraft windows and windshields.

Regional Analysis

The North American and European countries, traditionally, hold a large market share for aviation-related industries. These regions have a strong aviation manufacturing base and large demand for OEM and aftermarket parts. The market is, however, slowly shifting with more demand coming from the APAC, Middle East, and the South American regions. With the strengthening of the economy in countries, such as China, India, Brazil, and South East Asian countries, the demand for air travel has grown rapidly in these regions. These emerging regions are among few of the largest markets for new aircraft fleet. To meet such growing demand and to maintain a competitive edge in the market, major OEMs and suppliers have further increased their manufacturing base and market presence in these regions.
