Booming Automobile Manufacturing Fueling Demand for Thermal Spray Materials

The mushrooming popularity of the aerial mode of transportation is fueling the expansion of the aerospace industry, which is, in turn, driving the worldwide sales of thermal spray materials. Moreover, the increasing defense expenditure of several countries, such as India, the U.S., Japan, and China is also propelling the growth of the aerospace industry. For example, as per various estimates, China will spend more than $1.1 trillion in aircrafts over the next 20 years.

As thermal sprays are extensively used in coatings, which are applied on turbo-machinery, such as high-pressure turbine seals, rotor-path linings, bearings, compressor seals, airframe, engine components, and oil seals, in order to improve fuel efficiency and fluid dynamics, reduce maintenance expenses, and prevent wear and tear, the soaring sales of both defense and commercial aircrafts are driving their demand across the world. Apart from the booming aerospace industry, the rising urbanization rate, especially in the Eastern European and Asia-Pacific (APAC) regions, is also fueling the requirement for industrial machinery in construction, automobiles, and consumer product industries.

As these equipment need thermal spray materials for preventing corrosion, erosion, wear, and various other damages, their rising usage is predicted to fuel the growth of the global thermal spray materials market in the coming years. According to the forecast of the market research company, P&S Intelligence, the revenue of the market will grow from $1,860.8 million in 2018 to $2,869.2 million by 2024. Furthermore, the market is expected to demonstrate a CAGR of 7.4% from 2019 to 2024.

Geographically, the demand for thermal spray materials was found to be the highest in North America during the last few years. This was because of the existence of a thriving automotive industry, owing to the soaring sales and manufacturing of automobiles and automotive components in the region. In addition, the region is home to some of the leading military and civil aircraft manufacturing companies, such as Lockheed Martin Corporation, Bombardier Inc., and The Boeing Company, which is also boosting the demand for thermal spray materials.

Hence, the demand for thermal spray materials will shoot up in the years to come, mainly because of their growing usage in automotive and aerospace industries across the world.
