COVID-19 IMPACT

Market Growth Obstructed By Pandemic Due To Lockdown

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

Consultancies have begun to recover from the impact by creating new business plans and employment possibilities as well as adjusting to the post-pandemic environment. COVID-19 was the duration where the whole world faced extreme situations a drastic disruption in the health issues and economical issues. This fall faced by the people during pandemic caused a lot of disruptions especially in the lifestyle sector but the most affected sector was automtives as complete halt on the activities related to this sector was imposed due the newly founded rules of social distancing, curfew and lockdowns for the betterment of people. These factors brought a lot of challenges in front of the aircraft fastener coatings market share but past pandemic these challenges have been faced and put to rest since then.

 MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the global market can be categorized into Cadmium Coating, Dry Lubricant, Silver Coating, Aluminum Coating, and Other and the leading segment is Cadmium Coating.

• Cadmium Coating: It is basically applied as a corrosion prevention measure. By doing this, it stops aluminum, steel, or titanium fasteners from electrochemically reacting with aluminum or steel components. In addition to its low coefficient of friction, cadmium also lubricates the threads during assembly and, perhaps most critically, helps prevent galling and seizing.

• Dry Lubricant: It is nothing but a type of lubricant offering an enhanced corrosion resistance and lubricated surface that shields aviation components from galling and corrosion. It also lessens wear, noise, and friction caused by the fastener's components. Better fastener reusability is also made possible by the non-contact nature of dry lubricants when fastening components are tightened or loosened. Over a broad temperature range, dry film lubricants remain stable.

• Silver Coating: As this particular type creates a barrier that inhibits the underlying metal from oxidizing, silver coating is used on aircraft fasteners to prevent corrosion in hostile situations. Additionally, silver coating is more resilient to harsh chemicals that can be present in engine exhaust, airplane fuel, and other operational situations. Additionally, this kind of coating can offer a lubricious surface with enhanced galling resistance, which aids in preventing the threads from seizing.

• Aluminum Coating: It is nothing but a coating of aluminum used to shield the underlying metal of aviation fasteners from oxygen and moisture, so preventing corrosion. While offering better anti-galling efficacy in high-vibration conditions, the layer's repellant and protective properties also serve to lessen wear and tear. If different alloy fasteners are used, the aluminum coating also reduces the galvanic interaction between the metals.

By Application

Based on application the global market can be categorized into Spray Coating, Electroplating, and Other and the leading segment is Large Enterprises

• Spray Coating: As this particular type has dry film thicknesses, which offer protection against environments like sea water, acid rain, and industrial chemicals without significantly increasing weight or cost over bare metal surfaces, spray coatings are widely used for corrosion resistance on aluminum alloys as well as steel components.

• Electroplating: It is basically method of creating a metal coating on a solid substrate by reducing the cations of that metal with a direct electric current is called electroplating, sometimes referred to as electrochemical deposition or electrodeposition.

DRIVING FACTORS
