Aircraft Lightning Protection Market Share: 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.

Aircraft Lightning Protection Market Share: 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.

Aircraft Lightning Protection Market Share: 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.

Aircraft Lightning Protection Market Share: 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.

Aircraft Lightning Protection Market Share: By Region

In terms of regions, North America dominated the global aircraft lightning protection market in 2019, 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.

Some of the major players in the aircraft lightning protection market are Avidyne Corporation, Astroseal Products Manufacturing Corporation (Astrostrike), Cobham plc, Dayton-Granger, Dexmet Corporation, Honeywell International, Lord Corporation, Microsemi Corporation, National Technical Systems (NTP), and Pinnacle Lightning Protection.
