Global Air Data Computer Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Global Air Data Computer Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

An air data computer (ADC) is an essential avionics component found in modern aircraft. Air data computers are used by aircraft to acquire and process data from pitot and static pressure sensors, data buses and analog inputs to obtain key air data parameters such as altitude, airspeed, height deviation and temperature to ensure safe and accurate flight detail, on both rotary and fixed wing aircraft.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Air Data Computer market finds that the global Air Data Computer market reached a value of USD 104.01 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 148.28 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.09% during the forecast period.

The outbreak of covid -19 affected the normal operation of the industry

The raging COVID-19 has plunged the global economic environment into depression. The influence of COVID-19 on air data computer industry will involve all major links and entities in the industrial chain. The management efficiency of the company declined, commuting was hindered, production plans were hindered, and the company's development strategy and marketing methods were forced to adjust. In addition, during the COVID-19 period, the logistics speed slowed down or even stopped, and the company's production is limited to some extent, and the production of related enterprises in the hardest hit areas is greatly affected.

The demand of civil aircraft market is increasing

From 2009 to 2018, the global aviation industry is developing rapidly in golden decade. The industrial scale is expanding rapidly, and the turnover of civil aviation cargo, mail and passengers is increasing year by year. In 2019, global industrial growth was slow, trade friction escalated, and major economies stepped into cyclical and structural growth slowed down. Despite the downward pressure of macro-economy, the air passenger turnover (Revenue Passenger Kilometers, RPK) increased by 4.2%, and the capacity (Available Seat Kilometers, ASK) increased by 3.4%. The market still showed the trend of demand exceeding supply, and the number of aircraft kept increasing. In recent years, due to the strong support of national and local governments for navigation operation, short-distance transportation, official flights, low-altitude tourism and other activities have become increasingly frequent, increasing the demand for civil aviation.
After the epidemic, with the continuous economic recovery, the turnover of civil aviation, cargo, mail and passengers recovered and increased, and the development of civil aircraft market promoted the growth of Air Data Computer market.

Price fluctuation of raw materials

Raw materials are an important part of air data computer industry, accounting for most of the production cost. Generally speaking, the quality of raw materials directly affects the quality of air data computer. Since last year, the fluctuation of global commodity prices has intensified. The digital air data computer consists of sensors, input interfaces, central processing unit components, output interfaces, self-checking and fault monitoring systems, etc. Air data computer's raw materials include chips, sensors and various electronic components. In recent two years, the supply of electronic components has been in short supply, and the prices of raw materials are on the rise. Most air data computer manufacturers are facing the pressure of rising raw material costs.

Civil aircraft

Civil aviation is one of two major categories of flying, representing all non-military and non-state aviation, both private and commercial.
Civil aviation includes three major categories:
Commercial air transport, including scheduled and non-scheduled passenger and cargo flights
Aerial work, in which an aircraft is used for specialized services such as agriculture, photography, surveying, search and rescue, etc.
General aviation (GA), including all other civil flights, private or commercial

Military aircraft

A military aircraft is any fixed-wing or rotary-wing aircraft that is operated by military. Military aircraft can be either combat or non-combat:
Combat aircraft are designed to destroy enemy equipment using their own aircraft ordnance. Combat aircraft are typically developed and procured only by military forces.
Non-combat aircraft are not designed for combat as their primary function, but may carry weapons for self-defense. These mainly operate in support roles, and may be developed by either military forces or civilian organizations.
