Challenges:

Impact of COVID-19 on Air Travel

The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted the aviation industry, with travel restrictions and safety concerns causing a massive drop in air travel. According to a September 2020 report by Airports Council International (ACI) World, global air passenger traffic was expected to decline by 58.4% year-on-year in 2020. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) projected a reduction of 2.893 billion air travelers in 2020 and an additional decline of 1.261 billion in the first half of 2021, leading to a potential loss of USD 391 billion for airlines in 2020 and further losses between USD 148 billion and USD 182 billion from January to June 2021. This significant decrease in air travel is likely to impact airlines' investment plans in modernizing their fleets, thereby affecting the aircraft electrical system market growth.

Regional Insights:

North America

North America, with a market size of USD 8.41 billion in 2019, is expected to lead the global market. This dominance is attributed to a robust domestic airline network in the US and Canada, high defense spending by the US government, and rapid adoption of advanced aircraft technologies by both countries' air forces.

Europe

In Europe, market growth is driven by the UK's adoption of next-generation power management systems for commercial aircraft and the region's preference for lightweight airplanes.

Asia Pacific

The Asia Pacific market will grow due to rising air travel demand in India and China and the expansion of the commercial airline industry in China.

Competitive Landscape:

Advancements and Market Competition

The market is highly competitive, with key players continuously developing advanced aircraft electrical solutions. This innovation strengthens their product portfolios and supports the aviation industry's growth.

Recent Developments:

• November 2020: Carlisle Interconnect Technologies expanded its range of interconnect solutions for next-generation air mobility applications.
• August 2020: BAE Systems announced the development of new power sources for small electric aircraft, aiming to replace traditional aircraft engines and improve energy and power management systems.
