Aircraft Windshield Wiper and Washer System Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Product (Retrofit, Line Fit, Other Products), Application (Military Aircraft, Commercial Aircraft, Civil Aircraft, Other Applications) and Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Aircraft Windshield Wiper and Washer System Market is accounted for $97.58 million in 2022 and is expected to reach $139.99 million by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 6.2% during the forecast period. A mechanism known as an aviation windshield wiper is used to clear snow, ice, debris, and rain from an aircraft's front window so the pilot can see more clearly. It is crucial to the flight's takeoff and landing as well as the flight itself. The wiper system is typically powered by electrical motors, but some aircraft include hydraulic wiper motors. A wiper blade, wiper arm, and a motor or converter that is powered by the electrical system makes up an aircraft's windshield wiper system. To clear the glass of any water or other precipitation, the blade sweeps across the surface. However, aviation windshield wiper and washer systems are made to work under conditions that are comparatively difficult, such strong aerodynamic drag and extreme temperatures. A device known as an aviation windshield wiper or windscreen wiper is used to clear snow, ice, debris, and rain from an aircraft's front window so the pilot can see more clearly. To keep the windshield clear for safe operation, aircraft windshield wiper and washer systems are used.

According to the Civil Aviation Administration (DGCA), domestic passenger traffic in September 2021 increased by 5.45%, with about 7.07 million passengers flying in a month, compared to 6.7 million in August 2021. According to the European Commission, road accidents will kill an estimated 18,800 people in 2020. Fortunately, this figure was 17% lower than in 2019. This means that nearly 4,000 fewer people died on EU roads in 2020.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Advent of automatic wipers

In addition to the low and high speed settings, contemporary aircraft offer an intermittent wiper setting. The technique measures the quantity of moisture on the windshield using refractive principles. The advent of smart technologies is anticipated to boost the aircraft windshield wiper and washer systems during the forecast period.

Restraint:

Development of next-generation ice protection systems

The performance characteristics of an aeroplane are negatively impacted by icing on its surface. The market for aviation windshield wiper and washer systems is struggling to expand since recent innovations have reduced the need for windshield wiper systems in aeroplanes and made them unnecessary.

Opportunity:

Maintain a clean windshield

In order to keep the windshield of rotorcraft and fixed-wing aircraft clean for safe operation, the aerospace industry uses aircraft windshield wiper and washer systems. A liquid spray is provided by wash systems to remove pollutants from the windshield in addition to wiping the water away. It is anticipated to drive the growth of the market.

Threat:

Tendency of the slipstream

There are typically two main problem areas with aircraft windshield washer and wiper systems. One is the potential for streaking or ineffective wiping due to the tendency of the slipstream aerodynamic forces to diminish the wiper blade loading pressure on the window. This features are threatening the market growth.

Covid-19 Impact

Due to the occurrence of lockdowns in numerous nations throughout the world, the COVID-19 epidemic has had a detrimental effect on the growth of the global aeroplane windshield wiper and washer system market. Lockdowns had a negative effect on the aerospace industry since the government implemented strict air travel limitations to drastically slow the spread of the pandemic virus. As a result, the demand for aircraft windshield wiper and washer systems decreased, which had a negative influence on the market. The market, however, is anticipated to recover quickly.

The line fit segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

Based on product the Aircraft Windshield Wiper and Washer System market is into Retrofit, Line Fit and Other Products. In contrast to retrofit, which is predicted to increase faster over the next five years because to the growing size of the commercial aircraft fleet, line fit is predicted to remain the most dominant market and continue to grow at an exceptional CAGR.

The commercial aircraft segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Based on application, the market is classified into Military Aircraft, Commercial Aircraft, Civil Aircraft and Other Applications. Commercial aviation is projected to continue to be both the most dominant and fastest-growing segment. In the next five years, demand for windshield wiper systems is expected to increase significantly thanks to Boeing and Airbus. Irkut and COMAC are anticipated to enter the commercial aerospace market, which would further bolster the growth of wiper systems in the aviation industry. The C-130J Super Hercules, A400M, and KC-46 Pegasus are expected to propel military aircraft to the second-highest growth throughout the forecast period.

Region with highest share:

North America registered the highest share during the forecast period. The presence of numerous aircraft OEMs, tier players, windshield wiper system producers, and raw material suppliers makes the nation the centre of the aerospace sector. Major corporations are present in the area to meet the OEMs' urgent needs and serve as a partner for their new aircraft programmes or upcoming fuel-efficient versions of current aircraft programmes.

Region with highest CAGR:

Asia pacific records the highest CAGR of global aircraft windshield wiper and washer system market during the forecast period. The opening of assembly factories by Boeing and Airbus for the B737, A320, and A330 aircraft programmes will likely continue to be the region's key driving force in the near future. Other significant factors that will contribute to an increase in demand for aircraft windshield wiper systems in the region include the introduction of new indigenous commercial and regional aircraft (COMAC C919 and Mitsubishi MRJ), an increase in the size of aircraft fleets, and rising military spending by nations.
