The aircraft nacelle and thrust reverser market is projected to grow from an estimated USD 2.17 billion in 2018 to USD 2.86 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 5.59% from 2018 to 2023. The factor that is expected to act as a major driver is the increasing use of low-drag and lightweight nacelles. Aircraft nacelles are one of the significant contributors to high aircraft weight and drag. The new low-drag lightweight nacelles contribute to increasing fuel efficiency of aircraft, and thus demand for such nacelle and thrust reversers is increasing. The market has been segmented based on component, material, engine type, end user, and region.
Based on end user, the OEM segment of the aircraft nacelle and thrust reverser market is projected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period. In the aviation industry, aircraft are manufactured and delivered to airlines with aircraft nacelle and thrust reverser technology installed in aircraft. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are responsible for the installation of aircraft nacelle and thrust reverser components. This is a suitable alternative for airline companies, as post the delivery of aircraft, aftermarket modification becomes cumbersome for aircraft manufacturers.
Based on material, the aluminum alloys segment is expected to lead the aircraft nacelle and thrust reverser market during the forecast period. Metals, such as steel, aluminum, and titanium and its alloys, are preferred for the manufacture of aircraft nacelles on account of their strength and high temperature enduring capacity. For instance, in Airbus A380, composites are used on the leading edges and in the fuselage frame for structural clips and engine nacelles, but aluminum remains the dominant material in terms of total share of materials in an aircraft on account its corrosion resistance and ductility. Thus, due to increasing demand in new aircraft deliveries globally, the aluminum alloys segment is projected to lead the market during the forecast period.
Based on component, the thrust reverser segment of the aircraft nacelle and thrust reverser market is projected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period. Thrust reversers are the most complex and heaviest part of any aircraft nacelle and contribute significantly to the cost of the total aircraft nacelle. Hence, due to increasing demand in new aircraft deliveries globally, the thrust reverser segment is projected to lead the market during the forecast period.
Based on engine type, the turbofan segment of the aircraft nacelle and thrust reverser market is projected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period. In the aviation industry, almost all the aircraft used in commercial and regional travel work on the principle of turbofan based aircraft propulsion due to which the rise in demand for commercial and regional airliners is leading to the increasing demand for turbofan based engine nacelles. Based on engine type, the turboprop segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR on account of increasing deliveries of propeller based aircraft, due to increasing regional inter-country passenger traffic.
North America is expected to be a leading aircraft nacelle and thrust reverser market during the forecast period due to the high demand for new aircraft and replacement of aging fleets. The Asia Pacific region is expected to be the fastest-growing region due to increase in modernization programs in the Asia Pacific aviation industry, which is expected to lead to the high adoption of advanced aircraft nacelles. These factors are anticipated to further propel the demand for aircraft nacelle and thrust reversers in the APAC region.
Significant investments required for the development of different types of aircraft nacelle and thrust reversers is a major factor restraining the growth of the aircraft nacelle and thrust reverser market across the globe.
Major players in the aircraft nacelle and thrust reverser market are Safran (France) and UTC (US), among others. Products offered by various companies operating in the market have been listed in the report. The recent developments section of the report provides information on the strategies adopted by various companies to strengthen their positions in the market between November 2011 and October 2018.
