MARKET OVERVIEW



Aircraft nacelle is a vital complement to the engine, with which it creates the aircraft's propulsion system and thrust reverser divert the aircraft engine's thrust on a temporary basis to make it directed forward, instead of in the backward direction. Nacelle is an external aerodynamic structure that houses the aircraft engine. It is connected to the wing or the body of an aircraft through pylon/strut. The aircraft nacelle comprises inlet cowl and fan cowl. Thrust reverser is an equipment that provides deceleration by temporarily diverting the aircraft engine's thrust and thereby enables shorter landing distances and reduces wear on brakes & tires. Engine cowling, inlet cowl, fan cowl, thrust reverser, core cowl and exhaust system all together forms the aircraft nacelle system.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON AIRCRAFT NACELLE AND THRUST REVERSERS MARKET



Multiple issues have arisen as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak for the aerospace industry. Although the industry was not badly impacted, it still faced numerous economic challenges following the COVID-19 epidemic. Since the beginning of the outbreak, the aerospace industry has been hit globally. In comparison to all other sectors of the economy, air travel is seen to be the most sensitive to external variables such as oil crises, natural disasters, armed conflicts, terrorist attacks, economic recessions, and disease outbreaks. Although production factories have already been shut down as a result of the lockdown, the virus's propagation is predicted to wreak havoc on the market in 2021. Many developing economies are on the verge of entering the recession period, which has resulted in complete degradation of demand. Such a drop in demand had a direct negative impact on the market for aircraft nacelle and thrust reversers in 2021. However, from 2021 onwards demand may rise extensively in the global aircraft nacelle and thrust reversers market in the upcoming quarter as the industry's production has started to get momentum after the tough phase of COVID-19. According to Airbus Group, the number of air passengers is expected to expand at a rate of 4.5% per year by 2035, demanding the acquisition of 33,000 new commercial aircraft. Further, according to Boeing, around 25% of all air travel worldwide occurred within Asia. This value is forecast to change to 35% in the next two decades and to occupy the largest share of intra-regional air travel globally. The Asia-Pacific region is predicted to get 17,390 deliveries of new airplanes in the next two decades (2021
  •  2040), which may increase the total number of airplane fleets to 19,420. This would result in a significant increase in demand for aircraft nacelle and thrust reversers around the world during the forecasted period (2021-2031).
