COVID-19 Pandemic Offering an Opportunity for North American Aerospace Antimicrobial Coatings Market

The North American aerospace antimicrobial coatings market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.6% during the forecast period. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the US airlines are focusing on implementing antimicrobial coatings in aircraft. For instance, in September 2020, United Airlines Holdings Inc. declared that it would include an antimicrobial coating to the airline's cleaning and safety procedures for protection against the COVID-19. It is applying the coating every week on over 30 aircraft and anticipates adding a new measure to its whole fleet before the end of 2020.

Further, in March 2020, Constant Aviation, Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) company in the US, declared Flexjet as the first aircraft operator that has treated its whole fleet with an antimicrobial shield product, MicroShield 360. With its whole fleet of over 160 aircraft, Flexjet has been treated with the use of an electrostatic application process. MicroShield 360 is an FDA-approved, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-registered, antimicrobial coating system that claims to kill 99.99% of bacteria. Constant Aviation is an aircraft MRO certified to apply the treatment in commercial and private airline aircraft cabins. The rising use of antimicrobial coatings across interior and exterior surfaces in the US aircraft is in turn, will support to further leverage the market growth.

Recent Strategic Initiatives in the North American Aerospace Antimicrobial Coatings Market

• In August 2020, Aereos, Inc., declared the first built-in antimicrobial high-touch components for aircraft interior cabins and lavatories. Such antimicrobial components offer longer protection against harmful microbes. It offers airlines to replace older parts with new parts that add protection layers at no incremental cost (and significantly less than OEMs). In response to the COVID-19, the company is also adding a range of antimicrobial coating solutions for the prevention of harmful microbes from transmitting on high-touch surfaces including arm caps and galley cart handles. 
• In August 2020, Kastus entered into a new partnership with a South Korea based touchscreen manufacturing company, Inficraft to bring its patent antimicrobial coating technology to Asia.
