Commercial Aircraft Windows & Windshields Market Size & Share Analysis - Growth Trends & Forecasts (2024 - 2029)

Commercial Aircraft Windows and Windshields Industry Overview

The aircraft windows and windshields market is highly consolidated, with the majority of the share held by very few market players. Some of the prominent players in the market are PPG Industries Inc., Saint-Gobain SA, NORDAM Group Inc., GKN Aerospace, and Lee Aerospace. The development of new windows, with the integration of electronics that can help in enhancing passenger experience, is expected to attract aircraft OEMs. For instance, in 2019, Vision Systems developed a multizone dimmable window with an integrated transparent control panel based on electroluminescent technology and a motorized shade for two windows with a dimmable front panel. The company also plans to unveil a new concept of the smart window, in which images and videos may be displayed directly on the aircraft window or cabin divider. Companies like Airbus are looking to use the updated electrochromic technology that has been standard on Boeing's B787 Dreamliner aircraft ever since the aircraft took its first flight more than 10 years ago. This technology helps control the darkness of the window shades throughout the cabin. With these latest generation electrochromic windows, passengers will no longer have to manually push the window shade up or down aboard the new A350. They can adjust their window shade setting with the push of a button. While OEMs are focusing on improvements in such technologies, players are focusing on innovation to boost their market share in the coming years.
