Market Insights
Brakes are one of the most important components of an aircraft which help an aircraft to safely land, and take off. The brakes should operate and stop the aircraft in different operational environments. During landing, brakes are required to withstand, absorb, and safely dissipate very high amount of kinetic energy of the decelerating airplane and bring it to a safe halt. Increasing size of the commercial aircraft has led to increased demand for stronger brakes.
The global aerospace and defense brakes market offers a good growth opportunity and is likely to grow at 5.0% CAGR during the forecast period of 2016 to 2021. Increasing passenger traffic, increasing commercial aircraft deliveries, growing aircraft fleet size, increase in share of wide body aircraft, etc. are some of the key growth drivers of the global aerospace and defense brakes market.
