Aircraft Elevator Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Type (Wide Body Aircraft, Narrow Body Aircraft, Regional Jet and Other Types), Wing Type (Fixed Wing Aircraft and Rotary Wing Aircraft), Product, Application and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Aircraft Elevator Market is accounted for $2.58 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $3.68 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 6.09% during the forecast period. An aircraft elevator is seen as a critical component of the primary flight control systems of an aircraft. It is located at the rear end on either side of the tail fin. On some aircraft, it is located on the front side, in front of the wings. In order to keep the nose of the aircraft up or down during ascent or descent, elevator is employed to manage an aircraft's pitch. The functionality of different types of aircraft elevators' mechanisms in relation to aerodynamic forces determines their fundamental characteristics.
According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA) report, the number of passengers travelling by air in 2015 augmented to 3.4 billion passengers which are anticipated to touch 7.3 billion by 2034.
Market Dynamics
Driver:
Growing demand for commercial aircraft
The increased freight and passenger traffic has increased the need for commercial airplanes. Because air travel needs the least amount of time compared to other means of transportation, commercial aircraft are predicted to expand in number. The need for freight services has increased globally due to improved commercial links. This is anticipated to fuel demand for commercial aircraft and support the expansion of the aircraft elevators market throughout the forecast period.
Restraint
Stringent safety regulations
While making aircraft elevators, there are a number of safety rules that must be adhered to. They include rules established by the Federal Aviation Administration, the International Civil Aviation Organization, and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) (FAA). These laws all need rigorous adherence and are fairly onerous. This may prevent the market for airplane elevators from expanding.
Opportunity
Increasing number of air passenger
According to estimates, a rise in air travel, particularly in emerging nations, would boost the need for commercial aircraft, which will have an impact on the market for aircraft elevators and create attractive growth prospects. Large numbers of big body aircraft are being ordered by several important market participants. In consequence, it is projected that this will have a significant impact on market growth in the upcoming years.
Threat
Limited space availability
Planes have a certain amount of room, and every square inch is effectively used. The space left behind for the construction of airplane elevators is quite limited. Some airlines could decide against using this option as a result of this. This might provide a problem for the market expansion for aircraft elevators.
Covid-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating impact on the aviation industry globally as all air travels came to a halt. Most commercial projects were ordered to be shut down to curb the spread of the virus. It has resulted in a number of supply chain and workflow problems. They have significantly impacted the demand for elevators for few months. Such elements have had a detrimental impact on the market's expansion for aircraft elevator.
The rotary wing aircraft segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The rotary wing aircraft segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to its ability to take off, hover, and land vertically without needing a runway or a long stretch of flat land. It features an engine installed atop a rotating mast or head, allowing it to revolve to control movement in either the right or left directions. They are more suited to commercial purposes due to their hovering ability, capacity to transport large cargoes, and steadiness in severe winds. The segment's demand is being fuelled by its dependability and simplicity of operation.
The commercial air transport segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The commercial air transport segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to its reliable transportation and speedy delivery. It promotes economic expansion and makes travel and trading abroad easier. The airline will provide numerous flights per day on the same route, and these flights often make multiple stops at busy airports, which are boosting the segment's growth.
Region with largest share
Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the increasing air traffic and investments by the OEMs. It is among the fastest-growing regions in terms of the aviation sector. In this region, reliance on small and medium wide-body aircraft as well as air passenger traffic are both increasing rapidly. The market expansion in the Asia Pacific is being driven by factors such increased demand for new commercial aircraft, modernisation of current fleets, rising fuel prices, and modifications to regulatory standards.
Region with highest CAGR
Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the early adoption of new technologies and a well-developed industrial sector. In order to improve safety and visual appeal, commercial areas including airports, retail malls, hospitals, hotels, and workplaces are undergoing an increasing number of modernization and remodelling projects. The market is benefiting from significant technical advancements and increased investments in the building industry in this area.
