Market Dynamics

Introduction:

What is an aircraft EWIS?

EWIS stands for Electrical Wiring Interconnect System or Electrical Wiring Interconnection System. It is installed in any area of an aircraft to transmit electrical energy between two or more intended termination points. EWIS is responsible for ensuring that systems continue to function even in the event of a fault, such as a bundle fire, connector failure, or other external failures that can disrupt signal continuity. 

It includes wires, cables, harnesses, connectors, backshells, clamps, splices, and routing devices, along with their associated supports and insulation. Regulatory authorities such as the FAA have classified EWIS as a standalone system that must be managed with the same level of rigor as mechanical and structural components, particularly in response to past incidents involving wiring-related failures.

Market Drivers:

• An expected rise in the production rate of key programs (A220, A320neo family, A350XWB, B737Max, and B787).
• The entry of new programs (B777x, C919, etc.).
• An expected rise in the aircraft fleet size.
• Increasing investments in electric aircraft.
• Increasing use of wires & cables in modern aircraft.
• Technological advancements in electrical systems and materials.

Segment Analysis

By Platform Type

“Commercial aircraft is expected to remain the largest and fastest-growing platform of the market during the forecast period.”

• The market of aircraft EWIS is segmented into commercial aircraft, regional aircraft, general aviation, military aircraft, and helicopter. The increasing production rate of various commercial aircraft is the major factor behind the exceptional growth in the commercial aerospace category. According to Boeing’s 2024-2043 commercial market outlook, an estimated 43,975 commercial and regional aircraft will be delivered over the next two decades, ensuring sustained growth in the commercial aerospace industry.

By Application Type

“Avionics applications are anticipated to remain dominant; however, interior applications are expected to exhibit the fastest growth in the market over the next nine years."

• The market is segmented into avionics, interiors, propulsion systems, airframes, and other applications. Avionics applications dominate the market due to their high wiring complexity, critical role in aircraft operations, and rapid technological advancements. Frequent upgrades and retrofits also contribute to their dominant share.
• The growing emphasis on improving passenger experiences and the modernization of existing fleets with advanced IFE (In-Flight Entertainment) systems are key drivers contributing to the fastest growth of the interior segment.

By Purpose Type

“General purpose is expected to remain the dominant, whereas special purpose is anticipated to be the faster growing in the market over the next nine years."

• The general-purpose segment is dominant because it covers a wide range of essential wiring needs across all major aircraft systems, including lighting, power distribution, environmental controls, and basic communication lines. Additionally, general-purpose wiring is used throughout the entire aircraft, contributing to its larger share compared to more specialized or mission-specific wiring applications.

By End-User-Type

“OE is expected to remain the dominant and faster-growing end-user type over the next nine years."

• The aircraft EWIS market is segmented into OE and aftermarket based on the end-user type. OE is estimated to remain the sole source of demand for EWIS in the foreseeable future. The aftermarket holds a negligible share of the market. EWIS do not need to be replaced because their life span is almost the same as the aircraft’s life.

Regional Analysis

“North America is expected to remain the largest market over the next nine years, whereas Asia-Pacific is likely to grow at the fastest rate during the same period.”

• North America is projected to continue being the largest market for aerospace EWIS during the next nine years, due to the strong presence of key aircraft manufacturers and high demand for advanced wiring systems. In contrast, Asia-Pacific is expected to expand at the highest rate, boosted by the fast growth of the aviation industry, higher aircraft production, and rising air travel in the region.
• North America is expected to remain the largest market for EWIS from 2024 to 2034. The USA will continue to drive regional growth, with the presence of major aircraft OEMs, tier suppliers, EWIS providers, and MRO companies. Most of the major players in the EWIS market have their presence in the region to cater to the emergent needs of OEMs and to be the partners for their upcoming aircraft programs or upcoming fuel-efficient variants of existing aircraft programs existing aircraft.
• Asia-Pacific is anticipated to experience the highest growth during 2024 and 2034. The region’s market is majorly driven by the increasing aircraft fleet to support rising passenger traffic; the opening of assembly plants of Boeing and Airbus in China for multiple programs; increasing production and procurement of military aircraft owing to the rising defense budget and growing territorial disputes among key economies; and the indigenous aircraft program C919. China, Japan, and India are expected to remain the growth engines of the Asia-Pacific market.
