Market Dynamics
Introduction
Batteries are primarily utilized in the aerospace industry for flight preparation, starting the engine and auxiliary power units, and powering backup and emergency systems. They are critical because they provide power to the aircraft in the event of a power outage. Batteries in the aircraft must be dependable, strong, lightweight, and durable, and they must have low maintenance and low cost of ownership. Lead-acid batteries are gradually giving way to nickel-cadmium batteries and then lithium-ion batteries in the industry.
COVID-19 Impact
The aerospace industry grew in 2019 as a result of an endless supply of orders and rising demand. Only the North American demand experienced a slight decline in 2019 due to the grounding of the B737MAX program. The devouring pandemic in 2020, on the other hand, proved too much for this thriving industry to handle. What appeared to be a manageable challenge became a barrier to survival for many stakeholders across industries. Aerospace Battery, a sizeable market, could not escape from such trends and witnessed a colossal decline (-33%+ in 2020). The long-term outlook still seems sanguine with a gradual rebound in aircraft production, ultimately imprinting a positive impact on the market.
Market Drivers
Aerospace batteries have witnessed a remarkable transition in the industry over the decades with regard to designs, processes, certifications, technologies, materials, and many other factors. Furthermore, major players keep experimenting with battery chemicals that are cheaper, denser, lighter, and more powerful than the existing ones. The ongoing supply chain disruption of lithium-ion batteries remains a concern for industry stakeholders. The aerospace industry is no exception and is witnessing an increase in the price of batteries.

By Aircraft Type
Based on the aircraft type, the aerospace battery market is segmented into narrow-body aircraft, wide-body aircraft, regional aircraft, general aviation, helicopters, military aircraft, and UAVs. The undisputed dominance of narrow-body aircraft is expected to last during the forecast period as well. Long-term market growth will be driven by narrow-body aircraft, propelled by huge order backlogs of key programs (B737 including Max: 4,185, A320 Family: 6,148; COMAC C919: 800+, and Irkut MC21: 175) (till 31st August 2022).
By Battery Type
Based on the battery type, the market is segmented into nickel-cadmium batteries, lithium-ion batteries, and lead-acid batteries. The lithium-ion battery is likely to register the fastest growth over the next five years, whereas the nickel-cadmium battery is expected to continue to command the market during the same period. The aircraft industry is gradually transitioning away from lead-acid batteries to nickel-cadmium and lithium-ion batteries, with the support of key stakeholders. New-generation aircraft programs are more relying on lithium-ion batteries.
Regional Insights
In terms of regions, North America is expected to maintain its position as the largest region in the market during the forecast period due to the region's proclivity for adopting and implementing modern technologies. Asia-Pacific is expected to have the fastest market recovery during the same period. The C919 commercial aircraft program, the opening of Boeing and Airbus’ assembly facilities in China, and the continued relocation of OEM assembly facilities from North America and Europe to the region are expected to generate a healthy long-term demand for aerospace batteries in the region.
