The aircraft gearbox market is projected to grow from an estimated USD 3.38 Billion in 2017 to USD 4.53 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 6.01% from 2017 to 2022. Increase in demand for new aircraft and present supremacy of Pure-Power Geared Turbofan (GTF) engines are key factors expected to drive the aircraft gearbox market during the forecast period. The market has been segmented based on application, gearbox type, fit, aircraft type and region.

Based on application, the aircraft gearbox market has been segmented into engine (turbofan, turboprop, piston engine and turboshaft) and airframe. The engine segment of the aircraft gearbox market is estimated to grow at a higher rate during the forecast period. Engines are an essential component in any aircraft. These engines require huge amount of thrust during takeoff and landing.  Engine gearboxes help these aircraft engines achieve high thrust, which drives the aircraft to move forward.

Based on gearbox type, the aircraft gearbox market has been segmented into reduction gearbox, accessory gearbox, actuation, tail rotor, APU, and other. The growth of this segment can be attributed to the increasing demand for new aircraft from the airlines. Accessory gearboxes are used in every kind of medium and large aircraft, hence, with growing demand for commercial air travel globally and rising defense budgets of prominent economies, the demand for AGB is likely to increase.

Based on fit, the market has been segmented into linefit and retrofit. The linefit segment is projected to witness a higher growth rate than the retrofit segment during the forecast period. The anticipated higher growth rate of the linefit segment is due to the increase in aircraft orders as well as deliveries, economic growth across regions, and an increase in passenger traffic.

Based on aircraft type, the aircraft gearbox market has been segmented into civil aircraft (general aviation aircraft, commercial passenger/cargo aircraft, civil helicopters) and military aircraft (transport carrier, military helicopter and fighter jets). The civil aircraft segment has been witnessing significant growth in the past few years due to increasing air traffic and rise in the disposable income of middle-class populations across the globe. Increased demand for new aircraft around the world is also fueling the growth of the civil aircraft segment.

North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and RoW (Rest of the World) have been considered in the regional analysis of the aircraft gearbox market. North America is estimated to lead the aircraft gearbox market in 2017, owing to the presence of major aircraft manufacturers, such as Boeing (US) and Bombardier (Canada). This company has huge new aircraft orders across the globe which will boost the aircraft gearbox market.

The existing backlogs in aircraft deliveries can restrain the growth of the aircraft gearbox market. Delay in aircraft deliveries can also result in the cancellation of aircraft orders. For instance, in 2015, Qatar Airways cancelled the A320neo aircraft orders due to a delay in aircraft delivery. Thus, existing backlogs in aircraft deliveries act as a restraint to the growth of the aircraft gearbox market.

Products offered by various companies operating in the aircraft gearbox market have been listed in the report. The recent developments section of the report includes information on strategies adopted by various companies between 2014 and 2017. Safran (France), Liebherr (Switzerland), and United Technologies (US) are some of the major market players. These players have an extensive geographical reach and distribution channels.
