Aircraft Interface Device Market Drivers and Opportunities

Increasing Number of Aircraft Fleet Globally

There has been significant growth in the commercial aviation industry in the past decade. The airlines in the developed and developing nations are ordering a high number of aircraft to meet the constantly rising air travel demand. Owing to the continuously growing disposable income among the global population, the need for air travel is also increasing rapidly. Commercial air traffic is anticipated to maintain a constant growth rate, despite various challenges, such as rising aviation fuel costs and technical faults causing accidents. However, these challenges are overcome by the increasing number of passengers, which leads to more aircraft across the globe.

Growing Demand for Wireless AIDs

Wireless AIDs are much lighter in weight than wired AIDs and omit the risks associated with loose interconnection and timely wiring maintenance. This factor attracts several commercial airlines to adopt the advanced AIDs and enhance their fleet operations, which poses a significant opportunity for the industry players operating in the aircraft interface device market. Moreover, installing these wireless AIDs is simpler than their wired counterparts, thereby increasing the interest in opting for the wireless AIDs among airlines and military forces. Thus, the growing trend of adopting and equipping aircraft with wireless AIDs poses a substantial growth opportunity for the aircraft interface device market during the forecast period. This influences the global aircraft interface manufacturers to develop new products as per the client's requirements. For instance, during the National Business Aviation Association Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada, in October 2021, Avionica, LLC—one of the world's leading providers of connected aircraft solutions for powering secure data and communications for the aviation industry, will unveil its latest product innovation, the miniAID. The miniAID is a service that delivers aircraft data to pilots in a fast and wireless manner, allowing them to optimize their operations. These factors will further contribute to the demand for wireless AIDs over the forecast period.
