Aircraft Computers Market Drivers and Opportunities
Modernization of Existing Aircraft Fleets
The modernization of existing fleets helps enhance their sustainability by reducing fuel consumption and carbon emission, thereby improving flight performance. The development of advanced electronics systems and computers is generating the need to replace the older electronics system in the aircraft models that are currently in use. Several countries are emphasizing the development and procurement of next-generation aircraft fleets to modernize and expand their fleets which is aiding the demand for advanced aircraft computer systems. For instance, in May 2021, Lufthansa Group modernized its fleet and purchased 10 highly efficient long-haul aircraft, with an aim to improve efficiency and reduce operating costs. In addition, in January 2022, the French Defense Procurement Agency received the sixth ATL2 Maritime Patrol Aircraft upgraded from standard 5 to standard 6. The aim of the above mentioned upgradation initiative was to develop new technologies and integrate them into tactical mission systems, sensor subsystems, and display consoles of existing aircraft, followed by restoring aircraft performance to peak levels. The upgradation of such advanced system emerges the need for technologically viable aircraft computer systems which is propelling the market growth over the forecast period.
Expected Future Aircraft Deliveries and Popularity of Connected Electronic Modules
Boeing has received ~300 orders for the new generation of the 777 family, and in April 2022, it pushed the delivery of its first 777X plane to 2025. In May 2021, Airbus, planned an average A320 Family production rate of 45 aircraft per month, to attain this production rate by the fourth quarter of 2021; Furthermore, it is likely to boost its production rate to 64 aircraft per month by the second quarter of 2023, 70 aircraft per month by the first quarter of 2024, and 75 aircraft per month by 2024. In May 2022, Qantas confirmed its order for 12 units of Airbus A350-1000 for its ultra-long-haul Project Sunrise initiative. Further, as per the Commercial Market Outlook 2021–2040, published by Boeing, it expects to deliver a total of 43,610 aircraft, including 2,390 regional jets, 32,660 single-aisle aircraft, 7,670 widebody aircraft, and 890 freighter deliveries, in the next 20 years. Thus, the pipeline of aircraft deliveries is likely to present potential growth opportunities for the aircraft computers market players during the forecast period. Such factors are likely to push the demand for aircraft computers in the coming years.
