The global aircraft manufacturing industry is experiencing substantial growth due to the increasing demand for commercial and military aircraft worldwide. The growing disposable incomes in developing countries and the presence of top players such as Boeing and Airbus are some of the factors that are driving the demand of these aircraft. In a global scenario, commercial airplanes are anticipated to maintain a continuous growth over the coming years, regardless of several challenges faced by the commercial airlines such as uncertain fuel prices and other regulatory changes in various countries. In addition to this, the growing investments in defense equipment across countries are expected to drive the demand for military aircraft during the forecast period of 2020 to 2027. The growing production of aircraft demand for integration of advanced equipment such as engine control, avionics, cabin system, and in-flight entertainment system, which requires power connectors in order to supply power to these systems. Power connectors are designed to meet the aerospace and defense standards. All these factors are anticipated to fuel the demand for power connectors in various geographies and offer future growth opportunities for Aerospace & Defense Power Connector market players operating in the global market.
The aircraft production industry is heavily dependent on manual labor despite robotic technology. In the wake of strong lockdown regulations imposed by several countries, the aircraft-manufacturing sector is experiencing a significantly lower number of labors in respective aircraft and component manufacturing facilities. Since the aircraft-manufacturing sector is majorly concentrated in North America and Europe, and the two regions are facing a tremendous challenge in maintaining its manufacturing pace with the outbreak. The European countries manufacture various aircraft components and defense equipment and vehicles. However, a majority of European countries are challenged continuously growing outbreak. The plane makers across the globe are witnessing a severe downfall in component procurement. The downfall in the production of aircraft components is a result of a labor shortage.
The market for aerospace & defense power connector has been segmented on the basis of current rating, connector shape, application, and geography. Based on current rating, the market has been segmented into 5Amps to 40Amps, >40Amps to 80Amps, >80Amps to 150Amps, >150Amps to 300Amps, >300Amps to 600Amps, >600 to 900Amps. 5Amps to 40Amps segment represented the largest share of the overall market throughout the forecast period. Based on the connector shape, the market has been segmented into rectangular and circular. Based on the application, the market is segmented into aerospace, military ground vehicles, body-worn equipment, and naval ships. The aerospace segment is further bifurcated into the engine control system, avionics, cabin equipment, and others. Geographically, the market is segmented into five major regions— North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), Middle East and Africa (MEA), and South America (SAM).
