Key Trends in the Market

A winglet is a vertical wingtip extension that increases the cruising range and fuel efficiency of an airplane. This tiny air foil is employed to reduce the aerodynamic drag which is often associated with the vortices formed at the wingtips during flights. Winglets can be fitted on a wide range of aircrafts including military jets, commercial aircrafts, and business jets.

• The key winglets market trends include growing concerns about the environment, as application of winglet systems aid in reducing the overall fuel usage which, in turn, decreases carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere.
• Another crucial trend fuelling the growth of the market includes rise in delivery and production of commercial aircrafts. Increasing production of aircrafts as part of fleet modernisation initiatives is expected to boost the growth of the market for winglets.
• Growing demands for fuel efficient aircrafts is another key trend aiding the growth of the market across the globe. Rising fuel prices have surged the demand for fuel conserving alternatives and winglets aid in reducing fuel consumption, increasing their demand.
