Aircraft Gearbox Market Share Analysis

Aircraft Gearbox Market Share by Aircraft Type

Based on the aircraft type, the market is segmented as commercial aircraft (narrow-body aircraft, wide-body aircraft, very large body aircraft), regional aircraft, general aviation, military aircraft, and Helicopter. Commercial aircraft is likely to remain the growth engines of the aircraft gearbox market over the next five years, propelled by increasing aircraft deliveries to support rising passenger and cargo traffic, upcoming variants of existing programs, and rising commercial aircraft fleet size.

Aircraft Gearbox Market Share by Gearbox Type

Based on the gearbox type, the market is segmented as accessory gearbox, power gearbox, actuator gearbox, auxiliary power unit (APU) gearbox, and others. The accessory gearbox segment is expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period, propelled by the advancements in the technology and increasing commercial aircraft deliveries.

Aircraft Gearbox Market Share by Application Type

Based on the application type, the market is segmented as engine (turbofan, turboshaft, turboprop, turbojet, and piston engine), and airframe. The engine segment is estimated to register higher growth during the forecast period as gearboxes are an integral part of an aircraft engine and deliver the necessary thrust required during takeoff and landing. Among engine segments, turbofan is likely to remain the largest as well as the fastest-growing segment over the next five years, driven by a higher dominance in commercial and regional aircraft.

Regional Insights

In terms of regions, North America is expected to lead the aircraft gearbox market in the coming five years as the region is the manufacturing capital of the aerospace industry with the presence of several OEMs, engine manufacturers, gearbox suppliers, distributors, and component suppliers. The USA will continue to propel the demand for aircraft gearboxes in the region over the next five years. Boeing, Bombardier, Lockheed Martin, and Gulfstream are the major aircraft makers, generating a high demand for gearboxes for their aircraft assembled in the region. The opening of assembly plants of the A320 aircraft program by Airbus in the USA further assures a healthy demand for aircraft gearboxes in the region.

Asia-Pacific is likely to witness the highest growth over the next five years, primarily propelled by China, Japan, and Singapore. China and Japan are likely to remain the major markets in the region, whereas India is going to be the fastest-growing market over the same period. Boeing anticipated in its commercial aerospace outlook 2019-2038 that approximately 17,390 commercial and regional aircraft are going to be delivered in the Asia-Pacific region in the next twenty years. It is a good opportunity for the local players to invest in the aerospace industry in order to reap the long-term profitable benefits.
