COVID-19 Pandemic to Offer an Opportunity for European Aerospace Antimicrobial Coatings Market

The European aerospace antimicrobial coatings market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period. COVID-19 pandemic is resulting in increasing adoption of antibacterial solutions for the protection of staff and travelers against novel coronavirus. Additionally, aircraft manufacturers are also focusing on using antimicrobial coatings across aircraft interior surfaces. For instance, in April 2020, Airbus revealed an internal initiative to ensure safe air traveling in terms of viruses in the cabin amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Working with airlines, Airbus is considering adding antibacterial coatings across interior surfaces of the aircraft, implementing cabin IoT data in innovative ways, and utilizing more touchless technology on board to promote passenger wellness.
