Aircraft Lighting Market Growth and Recent Trends by 2031

The Aircraft Lighting 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 6.8% in 2023–2031.

One of the major trends in the aircraft lighting market includes the demand for improved ambience from the airliners for their respective aircraft fleet. The airlines are focusing on innovating their respective interior ambience of commercial aircraft models to provide enhanced air travel experiences to their respective customers.

Aircraft Lighting Market Analysis

Aircraft lighting market is growing at a healthy growth rate after the significant negative impact during the FY2020 due to the held civil aviation operations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, after the resuming of airline operations in 2021 (in some regions in 2022), the airlines have driven the demand for aircraft lighting through their respective airline maintenance operations for the existing fleets. This is also supported by the rise in demand for air travel from different regions propelled by the introduction of low-cost carriers as well.

Aircraft Lighting Market Overview

Aircraft lighting market is likely to witness significant growth in the coming years. The growth of the aircraft lighting market is due to some of the below key factors:

• The rising global aircraft deliveries
• Increasing demand from aircraft MRO operations due to the rising fleet demanding MRO checks
• Major backlogs of the major aircraft OEMs
• Rising electrification of aircraft

These factors are likely to show a significant impact in terms of healthy growth of the aircraft lighting industry.

However, the ongoing geopolitical war between different countries around the world is also likely to impact airline operations in the coming years which will further hamper the aircraft lighting market.

Aircraft Lighting Market Drivers and Opportunities

The Rising Global Aircraft Fleet

The rising global aircraft fleet is one of the major factors supporting the demand for aircraft lighting through both the line fit and retrofit segments. The increasing number of aircraft and helicopter deliveries across different regions is driving the demand for lighting systems; specifically, the demand for cabin and cockpit lighting systems. Some of the major aircraft OEMs i.e. Airbus and Boeing, in 2023, delivered around 735 and 528 commercial aircraft in 2023 respectively; compared to 663 and 480 aircraft in 2022. This shows a gradual increase in the number of aircraft delivered in a single year that has driven the majority portion of the aircraft lighting market in 2023.

Future Aircraft Deliveries is Likely to Provide New Future Opportunities

The future deliveries of commercial and military aircraft in the next twenty years are likely to generate huge opportunities for market vendors during the forecast period of 2024 to 2031. For instance, according to the two of the major aircraft OEM giants i.e., Airbus and Boeing, more than 40,800 aircraft are likely to be delivered between 2023-2042. This will further increase the global aircraft fleet size and will generate the opportunity for aircraft lighting from the aftermarket/retrofit segment as well in the coming years.
