2018 Aerospace Coatings Market

The aerospace coatings market continues to grow – fueled by both strong demand for new aircrafts and higher aftermarket demand. According to GMI, “the aerospace coatings market size is estimated to surpass $1 billion by 2024,” which will be achieved by supplying coatings for military, space and commercial aircrafts. The general business aviation and business jet markets have experienced remarkable growth, according to Chip Mullins, Global Sales Manager, Sherwin-Williams Aerospace Coatings. Aircraft producers choose high-quality, innovative paints and coatings to optimize manufacturing cost and product efficiency. To assist in the market growth, Sherwin-Williams launched several products, including SKYscapes GA for the general aviation market and SKYscapes Shimmer Basecoat, which offers a shimmer effect for intermediate clearcoats. Sherwin-Williams also expanded its military aircraft coatings with qualified topcoat systems in gloss, semi-gloss or lusterless sheens.
