Enclosures are the cases or cabinets used to protect critical electronic components in an aircraft. Some of the essential functions performed by aircraft enclosures include thermal load reduction, protection from aircraft fluids, environmental protection, and shielding against EMI and static electricity. Over the period, there has been a drastic transformation in the design, material, as well as size of enclosures used in the aircraft industry. The major players have been developing advanced lightweight enclosures in order to assist airframers in achieving their goal of developing fuel-efficient aircraft.
The aircraft industry had been under immense pressure in the wake of weak economic growth and the US-China trade war. Furthermore, the outbreak of the pandemic shook the industry to the core. As a result, the industry recorded a massive decline in the production of aircraft across regions. The impact of this has been recorded across its supply chain including the demand for aircraft enclosures, which plummeted by over 33% in the year 2020. In 2021, the market started showing signs of recovery with a gradual easing of lockdown and travel restrictions, and resumption of economic activities, as a result of which the market witnessed a healthy annual growth of 6.2% (YoY) 2021.
Want to know more about the market scope:
Organic growth of aircraft production to support the rising passenger and freight traffic, increasing demand for lightweight enclosures, growing use of avionics in the next-generation aircraft, and advancement in aircraft electronics are some of the key factors driving the demand for enclosures in the aircraft industry. The aircraft industry has always been looking for different ways to reduce carbon emissions and improve fuel economy. Among the many ways, one of the important steps is the increasing use of Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) systems to eliminate discrete Line Replaceable Units (LRUs). This step reduces the weight by paring down the number of parts required for processor units. Overall, the aircraft enclosures market is estimated to grow at a healthy CAGR of 9.0%, during the forecast period, to reach a value of US$ 1.3 Billion in 2027.
Segments' Analysis
Based on the aircraft type, the market is bifurcated into commercial aircraft, regional aircraft, military aircraft, and others. Commercial aircraft is likely to remain the growth engine of the market during the forecast period. Increasing production rates of the key aircraft programs, increasing preference for composite enclosures, high focus on passenger safety, and increasing use of avionics are some of the key factors, which are likely to aid the growth of the segment's demand for enclosures in the coming years.
Based on the material type, the market is segmented into aluminum enclosures, composite enclosures, and other enclosures. Aluminum enclosure is expected to lead the market during the forecast period, owing to its superior mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. However, composite enclosure is set to grow at the highest rate over the same period. Composite enclosures bring several advantages to the table including lightweight, durability, and the ability to mold in complex shapes. Composite enclosures can be easily customized with shielding, circuit traces, embedded antennas, and other components.
Based on the application type, the market is segmented as avionics, in-flight entertainment, embedded computing, and others. Among these application types, avionics dominates the market and is likely to maintain its incontestable lead during the forecast period as well. Airlines are increasingly seeking to refurbish aging fleets, with a sharp focus on greater fuel economies, reducing CO2 emissions, newer navigation equipment, and flight management systems enabled for connectivity. Development in avionics subsystems such as enhanced vision system (EVS), automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B), attitude heading reference system (AHRS), and automated flight control, can be one of the factors driving the growth of the aircraft enclosures market.
Based on the process type, the market for enclosures for the aircraft industry is segmented as stamping, injection molding, and others. Stamping is estimated to remain the most dominant manufacturing process for the construction of metal enclosures during the forecast period. The process offers several advantages such as faster part cycle time and fewer defects, which leads to a lower overall production cost. Temperature monitoring during the stamping process provides additional advantages such as improved part quality and process consistency. Injection molding process is likely to grow at the highest CAGR over the next five years. Composite enclosures are predominantly manufactured with high-temperature moldable thermoplastic resins, such as PPS and PEEK, which are preferably processed with injection molding process.
