Aircraft Electrical Solid-State Power Controller (SSPC) Market Growth Analysis

Market Highlights

The Aircraft Electrical SSPC Market is likely to grow at a significant CAGR of 9.3% in the long run to reach a value of US$ 783.9 Million in 2027.

What is a solid-state power controller?

Solid-state power controllers (SSPCs) are semiconductor devices that primarily control power (voltage and current) supplied to a load. They are an important constituent of the aircraft's electrical power distribution systems, which are largely responsible for controlling, switching, protecting, and isolating the aircraft's electrical circuits. They perform supervisory and diagnostic functions in order to identify the overload conditions and prevent short circuits. In recent years, SSPCs have been replacing contactors and circuit breakers for circuit protection, due to their faster operation and high service life expectancy.

Segment Analysis

Phase Type

The aircraft electrical SSPC market is classified as single-phase and three-phase systems. Between system types, three-phase system is expected to remain the dominant segment of the market during the forecast period as these systems require less assembly time and can transmit more power at a lower cost.

Aircraft Type

The market is segmented as commercial aircraft, regional aircraft, general aviation, helicopter, military aircraft, and UAV. Among these aircraft types, commercial aircraft is expected to remain the dominant as well as the fastest-growing segment of the market during the forecast period. Commercial aircraft has been under immense pressure due to several setbacks including the grounding of B737Max in 2019 followed by the onset of the pandemic

Despite short-term market challenges, it is estimated that the long-term demand remains sustainable. Boeing, in its outlook 2021-2040, estimates that 43,610 commercial and regional aircraft are likely to be delivered in the next 20 years, assuring a healthy demand in the years to come. General Aviation and military aircraft are other market segments that are likely to generate sizeable demand for SSPCs in the years to come.

Regional Analysis 

North America is expected to remain the largest market for aircraft electrical SSPCs during the forecast period. This is primarily due to the large usage of aircraft for regional, commercial, as well as military applications in the region. Moreover, the regional investments in military aircraft (fighter aircraft and helicopters) are the largest across the globe. Concurrently, Asia-Pacific is also likely to create significant market opportunities in the upcoming years, driven by the expected rebound in air passenger traffic paired with the opening of assembly plants in the region, mainly in China, Japan, and India.

COVID-19 Impact

With the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the aviation industry has been witnessing significant losses. Due to the lockdown measures implemented by several countries around the world, there was a large decline in the total passenger count opting for air transport along with a significant drop in aircraft production. The impact of it was felt across the supply chain of the aviation industry including electrical components, such as SSPCs and circuit breakers. The market declined over 20% in the year 2020, mainly due to the COVID-19 paired with delays in the approval of the B737Max.

The emergence of COVID variants is affecting the recovery trajectory of the aviation industry including its parts and systems. It is estimated that the air passenger volume will not be at par with the volume level of the pre-COVID period any time before 2024, leaving a reciprocal impact across the supply chain. The market for aircraft electrical SSPCs is likely to follow a faster recovery trajectory than the entire electrical systems in the wake of a paradigm shift from contractors to SSPCs.
