Aircraft Lightning Protection Market

Market Insights

Aircraft Lightning Protection Market is expected to grow from USD 4.13 billion in 2021 to USD 6.74 billion by 2028 at a CAGR of 7.12% during the forecast period of 2022-2028.

What is aircraft lightning protection?

Aircraft Lightning Protection is mainly a layer added on the aircraft exterior body that helps in withstanding the lightening. The metal skin though protects the aircraft against electromagnetic energy entrance, but it does not prevent it all. Aircraft Lightning Protection is application as test service, lightning detection & warning, and lightning protection.

Market Drivers

Growing quantity of orders for the procurement of new aircraft across the world and the rising demand for more electric aircraft and glass cockpit are the significant growth drivers that are expected to drive the global aircraft lightning protection market.

Segment Analysis

By Application Type

Based on the application type, the market is segmented as test service, lightning detection & warning, and lightning protection. Lightning protection includes various mechanisms, such as static wicks, transient voltage suppressors, and expanded metal foils. These components support in minimizing the severity of damage caused owing to lightning strikes on the aircraft.

By End-User Type

Based on the end-user type, the market is segmented as civil and military. The civil aviation industry has been registering significant growth over the previous few years, owing to the rise in air travel and upsurge in disposable income of the middle-class population. Increase in demand for passenger and cargo flights is one of the most significant contributors that is estimated to boost the demand for aircraft lightning protection devices in the coming five years.

By Aircraft Type

Based on the aircraft type, the market is segmented as fixed-wing aircraft, rotary-wing aircraft, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVS). The fixed-wing segment is anticipated to significantly grow owing to the rising demand for new commercial aircraft, in the coming five years. Thus, the growth in commercial air travel across the globe and the rising defense expenditure of prominent economies are estimated to bolster the demand for aircraft lightning protection during the forecast period.

By Fit Type

Based on the fit type, the market is segmented as linefit and retrofit. The linefit segment is expected to depict a higher growth during the forecast period against the retrofit segment. The estimated higher growth rate of the linefit segment is owing to the rise in procurement of aircraft orders coupled with their deliveries, economic development across regions, and an upsurge in air passenger traffic across the globe.

By Region

In terms of regions, North America dominated the global aircraft lightning protection market in 2021, owing to the regional presence of major aircraft manufacturers, such as Boeing (US) and Bombardier (Canada). These aviation giants have major new aircraft orders, which are anticipated to propel the aircraft lightning protection market during the forecast period.

The Asia-Pacific aircraft lightning protection market is expected to depict the highest growth in the coming five years. China and India are the growth engines of the region. The market is driven by the growing aviation industry, rising air passenger traffic, and ameliorating economic conditions in the region. Europe is also expected to offer substantial growth opportunities during the forecast period.
