The electronic flight bag (EFB) market is projected to grow from USD 2.73 Billion in 2015 to USD 5.06 Billion by 2020, at a CAGR of 13.09% during the forecast period. The major factors for the growth of the EFB market are increase in need for fuel efficient aircraft, reduction of cost and improved operational efficiency, reduction in aircraft maintenance cycle and real-time access to information.

The market is segmented on the basis of EFB type and component. By type includes portable and installed EFB, in which the portable EFB is sub-segmented into class 1 and class 2 EFBs. Out of these segments, the portable class 2 EFB market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The portability and capability of portable class 2 EFBs are some of the important reasons driving the portable class 2 EFB market.

By component, the market is segmented into hardware and software; software EFB is further sub-segmented into portable (type A and type B) and installed (type C) EFB software. The growth in the software component segment is expected to be out of the rapid development in the software of the EFBs. The software developers are focusing on including more and more operations of aircraft cockpit in EFB.

North America and Europe are the largest market for EFBs. The large market share is attributed to the large commercial aircraft fleet in these region. Asia-Pacific and Rest of the World (RoW) EFB market are the fastest growing markets. The growth of EFB market in these region is mainly because of the existing low penetration of EFBs and focus on reducing the overall weight of the aircraft to achieve higher fuel efficiency.

Some of the factors restricting the growth of the EFB market globally are capital cost involved in the implementation of EFBs, and risk of electronics system failure. The cost involved in the implementation of EFBs is much higher. Smaller domestic airlines avoid implementing EFBs due to the higher initial capital cost involved. Also, the cost of maintaining and updating the EFB software add to the financial burden of airlines, this restraining the market growth.

Major players in the EFB market are Airbus Group SE (Netherlands), Rockwell Collins Inc. (United States). The Airbus Group primarily focuses on contracts, which helps them to strengthen the company’s position in the EFB segment. In September 2013, the Airbus introduced new features to its “FlySmart with Airbus” with the aim to gain a strong foothold in the EFB market. After studying the recent developments, we can interpret that the company is more into installations of EFBs in different aircrafts, which shows that the company is generating more revenue from this segment. These strategies have helped these companies maintain their lead position in the market. Airbus is also a leader in the commercial aeronautics segment and plans to further strengthen its market position and profitability.
