The MEA aircraft floor panel market is expected to grow from US$ 33.96 million in 2019 to US$ 47.63 million by 2027; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.4 % from 2020 to 2027.
The Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and UAE are the major economies in MEA. The MEA aviation industry players are emphasizing the manufacturing and integration or mounting of lightweight materials on aircraft. The aviation authorities, aircraft manufacturers, aircraft component manufacturers, MRO service providers, and military forces across MEA region are seeking lightweight materials for each component to extend the flying range of the aircraft and increase fuel efficiency. Since the floor panels are critical components of any aircraft, the demand for lightweight floor panels is on the rise. This factor compels floor panel manufacturers across MEA region to design and develop the lightest possible floor panels for modern aircraft fleet. The MEA aircraft floor panel market players are leveraging the low weight nature of nomex and aluminum honeycomb structures. Both the materials are widely used in the construction of aircraft floor panels; however, nomex being 20% lighter than aluminum, the inclination toward nomex honeycomb floor panels is higher among the aircraft manufacturers, which would drive its adoption during the forecast period across MEA region. In addition to being lightweight in nature, the nomex honeycomb structures have a longer lifespan than its counterpart aluminum. The longer lifespan facilitates the aircraft operators to use the structure over a longer period without the need for frequent MRO service adoption. Advantage of lightweight materials such as long lasting, more fuel efficiency etc. are expected to increase their demand for floor panel manufacturing, which will drive the MEA aircraft floor panel market.
Further, in case of COVID-19, MEA is highly affected specially the UAE and Iran. The MEA aircraft floor panels market is majorly affected by the disruption in the supply chain. Pertaining to the closure of countries' borders, the supply chain of several components and parts has been disturbed. The demand for advanced aircraft components, including aircraft floor panels for line fitting and retrofitting activities on military aircraft fleet and general aviation fleet among the aircraft manufacturers, military forces, and MRO service providers, has weakened over the past couple of months. This has resulted in a loss of business among the aircraft floor panel market players offering their products to respective customers in the MEA region. Additionally, several airlines have postponed or canceled the procurement or orders of scheduled aircraft. South Africa has few aircraft manufacturers, which produce general aviation piston aircraft. The widespread COVID – 19 viruses have led the manufacturers to suspend their operations or operate with a minimal workforce temporarily. This has weakened the demand for aircraft floor panels, thereby hindering the country's aircraft floor panel market
With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the MEA aircraft floor panel market. The MEA aircraft floor panel market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
