IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON AIRCRAFT WINDOWS AND WINDSHIELDS MARKET



The COVID-19 pandemic created a large vacuum in the global aviation industry due to the drastic fall in aircraft production and hindrances in the global supply chain. In 2021, prominent aircraft manufacturers, such as Boeing and Airbus, reduced their production forecasts by 50%. For instance, the total airlines' industry revenues dropped by 40% to $328 billion in 2021 due to the declining demand for air travel and wide-scale flight cancellation. In addition to the near-term impact, the global aviation industry has started adopting strategies comprising reduced capacity, shifting route patterns, and mitigation strategies related to easing the impact of the pandemic. For instance, Airbus has confirmed an average A320 Family production rate of 45 aircraft per month in Q4 2021 and has created a demand from suppliers to anticipate a firm rate of 64 by Q2 2023. Expecting a continued recovering market, Airbus is also asking suppliers to allow a rate of 70 by Q1 2024. Additionally, the requirement of Aircraft Windows and Windshields in the military aviation sector creates a stable demand in the market and is expected to stabilize the position of major players. Therefore, after bearing a drastic short-term negative impact, the global aircraft windows and Windshields market is regaining its strength.
