Frequently Asked Questions
Widespread adoption in aircraft development and growing prospectus in constructing green building are the key factors attributed to the growth of wind tunnel market. The wind tunnel-based model is used for testing and diagnostics to carry out a comprehensive analysis of the aerodynamics of the aircraft body by determining the air movement around or through the aircraft. It also helps to understand and determine the fundamental working of new aircraft designs. Testing a structure through a wind tunnel helps determine wind pressures on buildings, as it allows to take aerodynamic measurements simultaneously at numerous ports through current pressure measurement capabilities. Thus, such increasing demand of wind tunnel in aerospace and construction industry is augmenting the market dynamics over the forecast period.
In 2020, UK held the largest market share in the global wind tunnel market followed by Germany. In UK, the demand for electric vehicles (EVs) are increasing continuously which is expected to boost the demand for wind tunnel throughout the forecast period. Almost 22,000 pure electric vehicles were registered in November 2021, which is more than double the 10,345 registered in the same month last year 2020. The growing prospectus in building construction activities is a key factor propelling the growth of wind tunnel market. As per the data published at GOV.UK website, there were around 49,470 completed homes in the first quarter of 2021 and a 4% increase compared to the last 3 months of 2020.
