Global aerospace nanotechnology market outlook

As per Technavio’s global aerospace nanotechnology market research report, the market is expected to grow steadily during the forecast period and post a CAGR of almost 6% by 2021. This industry research report identifies the emergence of carbon nanotube nanocomposites in airframe manufacturing to be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the adoption of nanotechnology in aerospace in the coming years. The increased awareness on global warming and climate changes that demand the need to control greenhouse gas emissions is inducing vendors to actively promote measures to reduce the emission of CO₂ and energy savings. The need to reduce the consumption of fuel will significantly increase investments in nanotechnology from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to adopt the usage of lightweight materials that have high mechanical and multifunctional properties in the design and manufacture of aircrafts, in turn, fueling the aerospace nanotechnology market growth.

One of the major trends that will gain traction in the aerospace nanotechnology market in the coming years is the use of nanotechnology in maritime warfare. To improve the capabilities of submerged and marine combat platforms, the defense sector of countries across the globe will start adopting nanotechnology which will allow developers to design and produce nanosensors that can be scattered in the ocean and used to detect enemy submarines. Additionally, the technology can also be used to produce energetic materials that will positively influence the component manufacturing processes of the defense aerospace industry.
