This comprehensive report, from Stratview Research, estimates the global as well as regional aircraft floor panel market for the forecast period of 2019 to 2024 by studying current market trends, changing competitive dynamics, and future market possibilities. The report provides detailed insights into the market dynamics to enable informed business decision making and growth strategy formulation based on the opportunities present in the market.
The Global Aircraft Floor Panel Market: Highlights
The global aircraft floor panel market is projected to reach an estimated value of US$ 515.1 million in 2024. Healthy future growth rate offers a plethora of opportunities to the entire ecosystem of the market. Increasing production rates of the key commercial and regional aircraft, such as B737, B787, A320, A350XWB, and A220; upcoming commercial and regional aircraft, such as COMAC C919 and Mitsubishi MRJ; requirement of lightweight aircraft flooring, an advancement in the flooring technology; and increasing global aircraft fleet size are the major growth drivers of the market.
The global aircraft floor panel market is segmented based on the aircraft type: Narrow-Body Aircraft, Wide-Body Aircraft, Very Large Aircraft, Regional Aircraft, and General Aviation. The narrow-body aircraft is expected to remain the largest segment of the market during the forecast period of 2019 to 2024. Wide-body aircraft is likely to witness the highest growth during the same period, driven by increasing demand for wide-body aircraft, such as B787 and A350XWB, in the developing economies, such as China and India.
The global aircraft floor panel market is also segmented based on the core material type as Nomex Honeycomb, Aluminum Honeycomb, and Others. The nomex honeycomb has been the growing choice for a wide range of usage in the aircraft industry including floor panel. All the major aircraft types including narrow-body and wide-body aircraft, are heavily relying on this unique material. Nomex honeycomb offers enormous advantages over competing materials, such as lightweight, exceptional stiffness and strength, good corrosion resistance, good fire resistance, good thermal stability, and excellent dielectric properties.
The global aircraft floor panel market is further segmented based on the end-user type as OE Sales and Aftermarket Sales. OE is likely to remain the larger end-user type during the forecast period, driven by increasing demand for commercial and regional aircraft across regions. Both OE and aftermarket sales segments are likely to witness healthy growth rates over the next five years.
In terms of region, North America is projected to remain the largest aircraft floor panel market during the forecast period. This region has been the pioneer in the aerospace & defense industry and is the manufacturing capital with the presence of several small- to large-sized OEMs in each aircraft category. Most of the players have manufacturing and assembly plants in North America. Additionally, all the major floor panel manufacturers for the aircraft industry are in the region to support OEMs for the development of advanced products meeting airline requirements.
Asia-Pacific is expected to witness the highest growth during the same period. The highest commercial aircraft fleet size, the opening of manufacturing/assembly plants of Boeing and Airbus, and upcoming indigenous commercial and regional aircraft, such as COMAC C919 and Mitsubishi MRJ will continue to drive the Asia-Pacific’s market in the coming years.
Some of the major companies in the aircraft floor panel market are The Gill Corporation, Triumph Group, B/E Aerospace (now Collins Aerospace), Hexcel Corporation, EnCore Aerospace Group, and Zodiac Aerospace (now Safran S.A.). New product development, adoption of advanced lightweight materials, and collaboration with OEMs are some of the key strategies adopted by companies to gain a competitive edge over other competitors.
