Aircraft Braking system Market Dynamics:
Driver: Technological Improvements in braking components
The technology of aircraft braking systems has evolved considerably. Earlier, only limited products accounted for safety, but now the system is an integral component in the landing gear system. Various types of brakes and components based on the aircraft application with the standards and regulations of the industry are available.
Technological improvement in the aircraft braking system will also be a significant driver as aircraft players will not be willing to compromise on the safety and efficiency of their aircraft, passengers, and employees. As a result, they will continue to subscribe to upgradation and maintenance services to have the highest order of braking systems for their aircraft. For instance, Safran Group (France) developed an efficient braking solution by introducing brake discs that combine both carbon and composite material. This resulted in longer life on brake discs and can be operated at higher braking temperatures, providing higher safety and efficiency.
Opportunity: Emerging market in growing economics
In earlier period, a limited number of players provided MRO services for braking systems to commercial and military aircraft. Brakes and wheels and along with other sub systems in the braking system have very short replacement cycles and are contributing a large revenue to the overall aircraft braking system market. Many countries including China, Japan and a few countries form the Latin American region are witnessing a increasing growth in companies providing the necessary MRO services to commercial as well as military aircraft. This is driving the growth for the aircraft braking systems in Asia Pacific, Middle Eastern and Latin American regions. Major aircraft MRO service providers like AAR Corp. (US) and Boeing (US) are also expanding to these regions due to the increasing demand for MRO services in these regions.
Challenge: Stringent Regulatory Environment
The regulatory bodies of the aerospace industry has established a strict and everchanging regulatory environment to ensure best safety standards for the safety and improvement of the aviation industry. These stringent regulations require aircraft braking system manufacturers and MRO service providers to adhere to some really complex manufacturing and quality assurance procedures.
An example of the strict regulatory standards is also associated with the replacement of steel brakes and carbon brakes in commercial aircraft. The braking system providers need to adhere to various tests and certification processes for their brakes and supporting systems to be able to fit on aircraft.
The OEM segment is estimated to lead the aircraft sensors market in 2022
Based on End Use, the OEM segment of the aircraft braking system market is accounted for the largest growth during the forecast period. Increasing demand for different aircraft across the commercial and military platforms is one of the main reasons for the drive in braking system market growth. Increasing developments in Advanced Air Mobility platforms and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle platforms to drive further growth in the aircraft braking system market.
The Actuators segment to witness largest growth in the forecast period
Based on component, actuators segment is witnessing highest growth in the forecast period. Actuators are used to press the brake discs to create friction to stop apply brakes onto the aircrafts. Traditionally actuators were hydromechanically driven. New technological advancements are making way to electromechanically driven actuators.
North American region is expected to have the highest market share during the forecast period
North American region constitutes the largest aircraft braking system manufacturers among all the regions. North America region also invests heavily in research and development of advanced braking system technologies required for current aircraft technologies as well as future technologies.
