$1.8 Billion Aircraft Transparencies Market by End Use, Application, Material, Coating Type, Aircraft Type & Region - Global Forecast to 2025 - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Aircraft Transparencies Market by End Use, Application (Windows, Windshields, Canopies, Chin Bubbles, Cabin Interior), Material (Glass, Acrylic, Polycarbonate), Coating Type (ITO, Gold, Polyurethane), Aircraft Type & Region - Global Forecast to 2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Aircraft Transparencies Market Size is Expected to Grow From USD 1.4 Billion in 2019 to USD 1.8 Billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 4.3% During The Forecast Period.

Aircraft transparencies include aircraft windshields, windows, canopies, landing lights and wingtip lenses, chin bubbles, and cabin interiors. This market also includes materials that are required to manufacture aircraft transparencies as well as coating materials that protect and enhance the capability of transparencies to withstand extreme conditions.

The aviation industry focuses on innovation and various technological advances to reduce aircraft weight as well as enhance the passenger experience. Most aircraft models have acrylic-based windows in their flight deck or aircraft cabin, but this trend has started to change with the introduction of the advanced next-generation B787 Dreamliner aircraft. Gentex Corporation leveraged its proprietary electrochromic technology and worked with PPG Aerospace Transparencies Division to develop dimmable windows for the B787's aircraft cabin.

The aircraft transparencies market has been growing at a significant rate, and this trend is expected to continue during the forecast period. The reduction in material costs and the emergence of air taxis are some of the opportunities in the aircraft transparencies market.

The market size of aircraft transparencies market is estimated to be valued at USD 1,433 million in 2019 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.3% from 2019 to 2025. Some of the major factors fueling the growth of the market include technological advancements and the increase in the number of aircraft deliveries.

Apart from a general overview of the major companies in this segment, this report also provides financial analysis, products, services, and key developments of major players in the industry.

PPG Industries (US), GKN Aerospace (UK), Saint-Gobain (France), GE Aviation (US), Nordam (US), Texstars, Inc. (US), Meggitt (UK), and Lee Aerospace (US) are some of the leading players covered in the aircraft transparencies market report.
