What is Aircraft Exhaust System?
Aircraft Exhaust System contains a series of pipelines that help the burnt or exhaust gases to exit and also it keeps such gases away from the combustion system of the aircraft. These are used in all types of aircraft such as commercial aviation, general aviation, business aviation, and military aviation.
Aircraft Exhaust System works on the engine exhaust system and APU exhaust system. Exhaust cone, exhaust pipe, exhaust nozzle, APU exhaust liner, APT exhaust tube, turbocharger, and others are the important components of the aircraft exhaust system

End-User Type
The market is segmented as OEM and MRO. The OEM segment is estimated to register a higher growth during the forecast period. This growth is owing to the increasing number of aircraft deliveries across the globe, driven by the rising global air passenger traffic. With escalating deliveries of new aircraft, the demand for aircraft exhaust systems is expected to increase during the forecast period.
Components Type
The market is segmented as exhaust cone, exhaust pipe, exhaust nozzle, APU exhaust liner, APU exhaust tube, turbocharger, and others. The exhaust nozzle segment is estimated to dominate the market during the forecast period.
Exhaust nozzle is constantly in demand as it is a part of any exhaust system which endures high temperature cycles and has to be repaired and replaced quite often.
Aviation Type
The market is segmented as commercial aviation, general aviation, business aviation, and military aviation. The commercial aviation segment is estimated to depict the highest growth in the coming five years. The growth can be attributed to the fact that there is an increasing demand for commercial jet airliners due to the rising air passenger traffic in commercial aviation, which happens to be the largest market within the overall aerospace industry.
Further, the market is driven by the growing demand for commercial aviation jets globally; thus, the commercial aviation segment is projected to command the market during the forecast period. On the other hand, the military aviation segment is likely to portray the highest growth, owing to the snowballing deliveries of fighter aircraft.
System Type
The market is segmented as engine exhaust system and APU exhaust system. The engine exhaust system segment is expected to own a higher growth during the forecast period. The growth is owing to the rising demand for new aircraft deliveries across the globe as engine exhaust components happen to be one of the most intricate parts of an engine exhaust system and immensely contribute to the overall cost of an aircraft exhaust system.
Region Analysis
North America is estimated to lead the market during the forecast period, supported by replacement of aging fleets and the high demand for new aircraft. Asia-Pacific is estimated to be the fastest-growing market, owing to the increase in modernization agendas in the Asia Pacific’s aviation industry, which is likely to contribute to a high adoption of advanced aircraft exhaust systems.
These factors are expected to further bolster the demand for aircraft exhaust systems in the APAC region during the forecast region. China and India are the growth engines of the region.
