The aviation actuator systems market is projected to grow from USD 822.3 Million in 2016 to USD 1090.9 Million by 2021, growing at a CAGR of 5.82% between 2016 and 2021. Factors influencing the growth of aviation actuator systems market include increasing aircraft orders along with the increasing passenger traffic across the globe. The number of aircraft has increased due to rise in air traffic. The aviation actuator systems market is highly dependent on the number of aircraft manufactured and its ability to minimize limitations of weight, high maintenance requirements, and vulnerability of security risks. This has further resulted in procurement of power-efficient and low weight actuators.

In this report, the aviation actuator systems market has been categorized into five key segments, namely, by product type, by application, by aircraft type, by end user, and by region. The product type segment has been further categorized into electric, electromechanical, electrohydraulic, and electrohydrostatic. Under the product type segment covered in the report, the aviation actuator systems market is dominated by the electrohydraulic subsegment while electrohydrostatic subsegment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This high growth if electrohydroststic actuators segment can be attributed to their characteristics which include energy savings, low investment costs, high power density and power capacity, fail-safe functionality, and easy integration into existing infrastructure.

The application segment includes flight control, landing gear, and auxiliary control. The flight control subsegment is estimated to capture the largest market share in the aviation actuator systems market owing to the use of large number of actuators in this application.

The aircraft type segment includes narrow body aircraft, wide body aircraft, very large aircraft, transport aircraft, and fighter aircraft. Wide body aircraft segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The demand for wide body aircraft is increasing globally due to its efficiency, rise in passenger traffic, and increased connectivity between important geographical locations of developing regions and developed regions.

On the basis of end user, the aviation actuator market is segmented into commercial aviation and defense. Commercial aviation segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Increasing orders for commercial aircraft from developing regions have led to the increased demand for commercial aircraft, which, in turn, has generated demand for aviation actuator systems in the commercial aviation segment.
