North America Wind Tunnel Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis By Solution (Products and Services), Alignment (Horizontal and Vertical), Airspeed Type (Subsonic, Supersonic, Transonic, and Hypersonic), and Application (Aerospace & Defense, Automotive & Transportation, Building Construction & Wind Energy, Training & Simulation, Adventure Sports Skydiving, and Others)
The wind tunnel market in North America is expected to grow from US$ 851.13 million in 2021 to US$ 1,132.48 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.9% from 2021 to 2028.
The US, Canada, and Mexico are major economies in North America. Wind tunnels simulate air movement around an in-flight aircraft. They are widely used in the aerospace industry as they allow aeronautical engineers to control the conditions affecting the forces and motion of the plane. The engineer can determine and analyze the magnitude of forces on a real full-size aircraft by recreating it on a scaled-down aircraft model. Furthermore, the wind tunnel-based model can also be applied 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. Wind tunnels were primarily used to observe and determine the fundamental working of new aircraft designs, but the dominance of tube and wing design in the market has led to extensive use in the verification and certification processes. The dynamic nature of aeronautic research and more efficient integration with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software contributes to the widespread use of wind tunnels.
The specifications of aircraft model testing have become highly stringent, leading to an increase in the use of wind tunnels made of carbon-epoxy and other composite materials. These tunnels are fabricated using masters prepared through numerically controlled machining. These lightweight models exhibit dimensional accuracy, long-term stability, and hollowness; thus, a comprehensive instrumentation range can be carried. These advancements in wind tunnels ensure that the effects of aerodynamic interference between the models and their support and instrumentation systems are significantly reduced during wind tunnel testing. The tunnels are designed for specific purposes and are often integrated with sensors and components to generate precise test results. For instance, PCB offers a complete line of dynamic pressure sensors, microphones, and force sensors for wind tunnels. These components for wind tunnels are categorized based on the speed of the wind.
During 2020–2021, the aerospace industry witnessed a dramatic fall in aircraft production due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Major aircraft manufacturers experienced a gradual rise in demand with the resumption of air travel after the successful implementation and scale-up of vaccination programs. These developments triggered the production performances of prominent aircraft manufacturers, such as Boeing and Airbus. In 2021, Boeing delivered over 340 jetliners to airlines and other buyers, up from 157 in 2020. Further, Airbus delivered 611 passenger jets in 2021, with an 8% rise over the deliveries in 2020. Therefore, the gradually growing aerospace industry and the widespread use of wind tunnels in aircraft production are bolstering the market growth.
With the new features and technologies, vendors attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is driving the growth of North America Wind tunnel market and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.
