    An aircraft electrical system is a crucial component of an aircraft that provides electrical power to various electrical systems and equipment onboard. The system includes generators or alternators, batteries, wiring, switches, and other electrical components that work together to supply electrical power to the aircraft's essential systems and equipment.

    The electrical system is responsible for powering critical systems such as communication, navigation, lighting, and instrument panels. It also provides power for the aircraft's avionics, which includes computers, sensors, and other electronic equipment used for monitoring the aircraft's performance.

    Market Trends

    • Shift towards More Electric Aircraft (MEA): Increasing the adoption of electrical systems in place of pneumatic and hydraulic systems in order to reduce weight and increase efficiency.
    • Advanced Power Distribution Systems: Development of advanced power distribution and management systems to maximize energy efficiency and improve reliability.
    • High-Voltage Systems: There is a growing trend to use higher voltage systems (270V DC, 540V DC, etc.) in order to accommodate the rising demand for power and reduce wiring weight.
    • Integration of Sustainable Power Sources: The growing popularity of alternative energy sources for disaster mitigation and auxiliary power units, such as solar power and fuel cells.
    • Enhanced Battery Technologies: Advancements in energy storage and electric propulsion systems with developments in lithium-ion and emerging battery technologies.

    Market Dynamics

    The aircraft electrical systems market is driven by factors such as the need for efficient new-generation aircraft and innovations in electric power plants. Expansion in the commercial aviation industry increases its market, due to increasing air travel and growth in the defense industry and expenditures. Advances in lightweight electrical vehicles’ automotive electronics that lead to high-performance efficiency, cut emissions. However, there are some drawbacks such as increased regulation standards and high costs of development. The market driver relating to aircraft efficiency is the quest to have more electric aircraft to enhance fuel efficiency thus reducing the effects on the environment.

    The grounding of the B737Max ended the 16-year growth cycle of the commercial aerospace industry. The industry was on the verge of recovery from the grounding of B737Max, the sudden burst of the pandemic exacerbated the industry challenges and sent to a decade back. As a result of that, the aircraft electrical systems market witnessed a colossal decline of over 20%+ in 2020, quite aligned with the decline in other crucial systems used in aircraft. The market has already started showing some signs of recovery from 2021 onwards with the recovery, particularly in the narrow-body aircraft segment.
