Global Aerospace & Defense Chemical Distribution Market: Overview

The demand for specialty chemicals in the aerospace and defense chemical distribution industry is increasing as aircraft and military vehicles are subjected to harsh climatic conditions. One of the major factors driving the growth of the aerospace and defense chemical distribution market is the increased emphasis on aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) activities. Aerospace and defense equipment, such as airframes and other materials, are highly susceptible to wear, metal corrosion, and tear, resulting in system failure. As a result, businesses have begun to distribute aerospace and defense chemicals effectively in order to help the leading producers of aerospace and defense equipment in the end-to-end supply chain.

Global Aerospace & Defense Chemical Distribution Market: Growth Factors

Increased military spending is another business growth factor that will boost product demand. Global military spending exceeded USD 1.7 trillion in 2017 and is expected to rise steadily in the coming years. Due to the increased demand for aircraft, the Aerospace and Defense Chemical Distribution industry has grown significantly. Furthermore, the simple availability of products combined with the ability to customize services creates a tremendous business opportunity for key players in the aerospace and defense chemical distribution market. Affordable airfares, growing middle-class wages, and major countries' economic growth are the main drivers of rising air travel demand in developing countries. The existence of economical airlines such as Cebu Pacific, and AirAsia has made air travel more available to Asian people. In the aerospace and defense chemical distribution industry, the rising demand for air travel in the Asia Pacific region will be a significant growth enabler. The number of people who traveled by air in China increased from 290 million in 2006 to about 1 billion in 2016.
