Aerospace Sealant Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Resin (Polysulfide, Silicone, Fluorosilicone, Polyacrylate, Polyurethane), By Application (Fuel Tank, Airframe, Flight Line Repair, Aircraft Windshield & Canopy), By End-use Industry (Commercial Aviation, Military Aviation), By Formulation Technology (Solvent-based, Water-based) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Aerospace sealants are used to increase the durability and safety of aircraft. Aerospace sealant is mainly used to keep fires or flames from spreading from the engine compartment to the aircraft, as well as to prevent air leakage, corrosion, water or dust entry, and other fluid leakage. A strong and flexible aerospace sealant can reduce vibration, cut aircraft maintenance costs and increase product lifespan.

Globally, growing middle-class population and rising purchasing power standards are anticipated to boost demand as more people prefer to travel by air. This will result in increased demand for new aircrafts and which will result in boosting the demand for aerospace sealant market. Growing use of armed drone technologies by militaries around the world is projected to fuel market growth.

However, organizations like the FAA and EPA are putting pressure on aerospace sealant manufacturers to use materials with reduced VOC emissions and eliminate the usage of heavy metals. Manufacturers inability to comply with stricter environmental laws is expected to negatively impact market growth.
