Aerospace Maintenance Chemicals Global Market Report 2024

The global aerospace maintenance chemicals market has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $7.44 billion in 2023 to $7.95 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The historical growth in aerospace maintenance chemicals can be attributed to several factors. These include the increasing prevalence of air travel, heightened safety and performance requirements, an aging aircraft fleet necessitating maintenance and repair operations (MRO), and the continuous elevation of aviation standards. These factors collectively contributed to the development and demand for aerospace maintenance chemicals during the historical period.

The global aerospace maintenance chemicals market is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.32 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period for aerospace maintenance chemicals can be attributed to various factors. These include the optimization of maintenance costs, ongoing innovations in chemical formulations, the persistent emphasis on safety and performance requirements, the overall growth of the global aviation market, and the continual rise in aviation standards. Major trends expected in the forecast period include increased technological integration, concerted efforts for corrosion prevention, the sustained focus on safety and performance requirements, ongoing innovations in chemical formulations, and a rising demand for fuel efficiency within the aerospace maintenance chemicals sector.

The upsurge in air passenger traffic is poised to drive the growth trajectory of the aerospace maintenance chemicals market. Air passenger traffic encompasses both domestic and international travelers and directly influences the demand for aerospace maintenance chemicals, essential for ensuring aircraft safety and operational readiness. For instance, in July 2022, data released by the Airport Council International (ACI) revealed that global airports accommodated approximately 4.6 billion passengers in 2021. The concurrent growth in aviation freight volumes to a record 125 million metric tons also signifies the increasing demand for air travel. Consequently, this surge in air passenger traffic is set to significantly propel the aerospace maintenance chemicals market forward.

The escalating proportion of personal jets is anticipated to be a driving force behind the growth of the aerospace maintenance chemicals market. Personal jets, employed for private or business travel rather than commercial purposes, rely on aerospace maintenance chemicals to ensure their optimal upkeep and functionality. For instance, a report by Greenpeace in March 2023 highlighted a 75% surge in private jet flights in the UK, reaching 90,256 flights in 2022. This substantial rise in personal jets underlines the growing need for aerospace maintenance chemicals, emphasizing their pivotal role in maintaining and servicing such aircraft.

The expansion of the aviation industry is expected to significantly contribute to the growth of the aerospace maintenance chemicals market. The aviation industry encompasses various air transport facets and associated support activities, necessitating aircraft maintenance to ensure operational efficiency and safety. The growth of the aviation sector directly correlates to increased demand for aerospace maintenance chemicals. For instance, the Air Transport Action Group projected a consistent 3% year-on-year growth in air travel demand over the next 20 years. By 2038, this growth trajectory is expected to support 13.7 million direct jobs and contribute $1.7 trillion to the global GDP. Consequently, the burgeoning expansion of the aviation industry is anticipated to be a major driver for the increased demand for aerospace maintenance chemicals.

Product innovations are becoming increasingly prominent within the aerospace maintenance chemicals market, particularly with the advent of eco-friendly solutions like green cleaning chemicals. These environmentally conscious substances are derived from natural ingredients, ensuring safety for both humans and the environment. Comprising plant-based enzymes and devoid of chemical compounds, these green cleaning chemicals are gaining traction due to their sustainable nature. Major companies in the aerospace maintenance chemicals sector are prioritizing the development of such innovative solutions to fortify their market presence. For instance, in June 2022, Socomore, a prominent US-based entity in the aerospace industry, introduced SOCOCLEAN AIRCRAFT CLEANERS. These cleaners are exclusively formulated using 100% plant and mineral-based ingredients, catering to both interior and exterior aircraft cleaning needs. Notably, these cleaners boast biodegradability within 28 days, leaving behind no toxic residues that could harm the ecosystem. Their environmentally friendly attributes contribute to reducing the carbon footprint, while their efficacy in cleaning aircraft interiors and exteriors is maintained.

Advancements in technology have led to the emergence of novel solutions like dry washing technology within the aerospace maintenance market. Dry washing presents an alternative cleaning method for clothing and textiles, utilizing solvents other than water. For instance, in June 2023, Air India SATS, an Indian-based air transportation company, unveiled AeroWash, an innovative dry washing solution for aircraft. This groundbreaking technology involves a ground-supported cleaning robot designed to optimize the aircraft washing process by enhancing efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and safety measures. AeroWash is versatile, capable of washing various aircraft types, including wide-body models like the Airbus A350 and Boeing 787. Equipped with a telescopic arm for extended reach, a flexible and efficient brush, automated washing procedures, user-friendly remote control, and adaptable power sources such as diesel or battery, AeroWash streamlines and modernizes the aircraft cleaning process for enhanced operational efficiency.
