Aircraft Landing Gear Market Growth Drivers and Forecast by 2031

The Aircraft Landing Gear Market size is projected to reach US$ 13.88 billion by 2031 from US$ 8.85 billion in 2023. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.8% in 2023–2031.

One of the major trends in the aircraft landing gear market is the demand-driven from the aftermarket due to the constantly rising fleet of commercial and civil aircraft models worldwide. In general, the service life of the landing gear for commercial airplanes for overhaul is between 200 to 400 landing cycles depending upon the weight of the aircraft models. Further, the rise in several older aircraft that require C/D checks during maintenance is another major factor likely to drive the market for aircraft landing gear market from 2023 to 2031.

Aircraft Landing Gear Market Analysis

The aircraft landing gear market is growing at a normal growth rate after the significant negative impact during FY2020 due to the held civil aviation operations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the civil aviation sector resumed its operations after an indefinite period which also hampers the demand for landing gear MRO market as well. Further, the aircraft production has also started recovering from the suspended production facilities and has been witnessing positive revenue growth which is another major factor driving the growth for aircraft landing gear installations. Further, the rising air passenger traffic worldwide is one of the major secondary factors driving the aircraft landing gear market size from the retrofitting users.

Aircraft Landing Gear Market Overview

The aircraft landing gear market is likely to witness strong growth in the coming years. The growth of the aircraft landing gear market is due to some of the below key factors:

• The rising global aircraft production and deliveries
• Increasing aircraft MRO industry propelling the growth of aircraft components
• Growth in aircraft fleet across different regions
• Major backlogs of the major aircraft OEMs

These factors are likely to show a significant impact in terms of positive growth of the aircraft landing gear industry. Some of the other major factors likely to drive the aircraft landing gear market include factors such as the rising procurement of civil helicopters; the introduction of low-cost airlines/low-cost carriers (LCA/LCC) propelling the aircraft operations to cater to the rising global air passenger traffic & cargo operations; and an increasing number of contracts for military aircraft & helicopter procurement propelled by the rising global military expenditure.

Aircraft Landing Gear Market: Strategic Insights

Aircraft Landing Gear Market Drivers and Opportunities

The Rising Global Aircraft Deliveries

The increasing number of aircraft deliveries is one of the major factors driving the growth of the landing gear market. For instance, one of the major aircraft giants ‘Airbus 2023, delivered around 735 commercial aircraft in 2023 and has witnessed a growth of 11% since 2022. Further, during the same period, Airbus also has secured more than 2315 commercial aircraft gross orders including the  1,835 units of the A320 series and 300 units of the A350 series of aircraft models. Similarly, another aircraft giant i.e. ‘Boeing’ in 2023, delivered 528 commercial aircraft globally compared to 480 units of aircraft in 2022. Such aircraft deliveries have majorly driven the aircraft landing gear market growth during FY 2023.

Expected Aircraft Deliveries During the Next Two Decades Likely to Provide Future Opportunities

The expected number of commercial aircraft deliveries in the next two decades is likely to witness strong growth. According to Airbus’ Global Market Forecast, more than 40,800 units of commercial aircraft during 2023 to 2042. Similarly, according to Boeing’s Commercial Market Forecast, more than 42,590 new commercial aircraft will be delivered from 2023 to 2042. Such growth in the production and deliveries of new commercial aircraft in the next two decades is likely to generate new opportunities for market vendors in the forecasted period of 2024 -2031 as well.
