The adoption of aviation headsets is rising among pilots, ground support staff, and air traffic control (ATC) units across the world. The demand for active-noise-canceling headsets among end-users like 737 pilots is considerably high. Moreover, with growing aircraft deliveries, including commercial aircraft, military aircraft, and helicopters, the penetration of aviation headsets is witnessing an upward trend. The presence of a limited number of well-established players indicates a higher bargaining power of buyers (pilots, ATC, and ground support staff). However, the demand for aviation headsets is anticipated to rise in the future with the surge in the number of aviation headsets market players.

The aviation headset market is highly consolidated, and a major fraction of the market is controlled and dominated by well-established players. Moreover, the market experiences a limited entry of newer players. Despite having a large number of customers, the existing suppliers in the aviation headset market offer products that are enabled with similar technologies, which decreases the suppliers’ bargaining power. Faro Aviation, Sennheiser, Bose, Plantronics, David Clark, and Bosch Security Systems are a few renowned players in the market, which together account for a majority of the market share. This limits the market share of small aviation headset companies to low. Thus, although the bargaining power of suppliers in the aviation headset market is currently low, it is foreseen to reach a moderate level in the coming years with the ongoing research and developments in the field of aviation headsets.

The aviation headsets market has been segmented on the basis type, noise cancellation type, application, and geography. Based on type, the market is bifurcated into on-board headsets and ground support headsets. Based on noise cancellation type, the aviation headsets market size is subsegmented into active, passive.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Aviation Headsets Market

With the outbreak of COVID-19, the production and sales of aircraft came to a sudden halt in most of European countries. The global passenger volume and the total infrastructure cost decreased by 60.5%  and 45.4%, respectively, in 2020. Such lowered demand has severely impacted the general aviation market in Europe and affected the businesses of aircraft OEMs, such as building and maintaining airliners, parts suppliers, and catering, among others. 


However, Airbus, a European aircraft manufacturing giant based in France, foresees a faster recovery of the aviation industry and aircraft manufacturing in the coming years. It says the global and European aviation industry is expected to reach the pre-COVID levels during 2023–2025, whereas the European general aviation industry is expected to surpass its pre-COVID levels by 2022. According to the company, Airbus helicopters witnessed a decline in its deliveries as the numbers reached 272 units in FY 2020 compared to 300 units in FY 2019. Airbus is also planning to modify its global workforce and resize its commercial aircraft activity in response to the COVID-19 crisis. This impacted negatively on its demand of aviation accessories such as communication systems, aviation headsets, and pilot helmets in 2020.
