Market Share Analysis

Aircraft Computers Market Share: By Type

Based on the type, the market is segmented as flight controls, engine controls, mission controls, flight management computers (FMC), and utility controls. The flight controls segment is estimated to register substantial growth during the forecast period. The growth is owing to the fact that flight control computers aid the pilot in managing the speed, altitude, and direction of the aircraft.   

Aircraft Computers Market Share: By Platform Type

Based on the platform type, the market is segmented as fixed-wing aircraft, rotary-wing aircraft, and unmanned aerial vehicles. The fixed-wing aircraft segment is estimated to lead the market during the forecast period, driven by the rising demand for commercial and military fixed-wing aircraft. The commercial fixed-wing aircraft market is anticipated to increase owing to the rising air passenger traffic. Boeing anticipated that there would be the total deliveries of 40,410 commercial aircraft worth US$ 6.25 trillion in the global marketplace during 2018-2037. Asia-Pacific and Europe would be the biggest demand generators with a combined share of 64.7% of the total commercial aircraft deliveries during the same period. An anticipated healthy CAGR of 4.7% in air passenger traffic during 2018-2037 will majorly drive the demand for commercial aircraft.  

Aircraft Computers Market Share: By End-User Type

Based on the end-user type, the market is segmented as OEM and aftermarket. The OEM market segment is estimated to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. The high growth is owing to aircraft upgrade programs and the adoption of aircraft computers to be installed on advanced aircraft coming out of the production bay.  

Aircraft Computers Market Share: By Region

In terms of regions, the North American region was the largest market for aircraft computers in 2018, and is expected to maintain its leadership during the forecast period. Presence of giant aircraft manufacturers, such as the Boeing Company (US) and Bombardier Inc. (Canada) is boosting the aircraft computers market in this region.
