Aircraft Elevator Global Market Report 2024

The aircraft elevator market has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.23 billion in 2023 to $3.42 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to environmental considerations, increased demands for maintenance and services, the globalization of air travel, retrofitting and upgrading initiatives, as well as intensified market competition.

The aircraft elevator market is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.29 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The anticipated growth in the upcoming period can be credited to the integration of advanced materials, the implementation of automation and smart systems, rising demand for electric aircraft, the expansion of urban air mobility, and the integration of connectivity and IoT. Significant trends expected in this forecast period encompass improved safety features, the acceleration of digitalization and connectivity, the adoption of modular and scalable designs, and a heightened focus on enhancing user experiences.

The surge in demand for cargo services is poised to drive the expansion of the aircraft elevator market in the foreseeable future. Cargo services involve transporting goods and commodities between different locations. This escalated demand for cargo services is anticipated to necessitate more aircraft, consequently increasing the need for aircraft elevators. For instance, as reported by Air Cargo News in January 2022, there was a 6.9 percent rise in cargo services in 2021 compared to the previous year, indicating a significant demand for aviation freight during that period. Hence, the escalating need for cargo services is a key factor propelling the growth of the aircraft elevator market.

The burgeoning tourism sector is expected to fuel the growth of the aircraft elevator market in the coming years. The tourism industry encompasses a wide range of activities and services related to travel and leisure. Aircraft elevators play a vital role in this industry by ensuring the efficiency and functionality of commercial passenger aircraft, facilitating smooth boarding and disembarking processes for travelers, and contributing to overall air travel safety and experience. For instance, data from the Ministry of Business, Innovation, and Employment in December 2022 revealed that tourism spending in New Zealand surged to $26.5 billion, marking a 2.7% ($704 million) growth compared to the previous year. Furthermore, overseas visitor arrivals to the country showed a notable increase of 335.3%, reaching 229,370. Additionally, tourism made a direct contribution of $10.0 billion to the GDP, accounting for 3.0% of the GDP and exhibiting a growth of 1.3%. Thus, the escalating tourism industry is a driving force behind the growth of the aircraft elevator market.

Collaborative partnerships have emerged as a prominent trend within the aircraft elevator market. Major players in this sector are increasingly engaging in partnerships to foster new relationships aimed at advancing aircraft elevator technologies. For instance, in June 2021, Lilium GmbH, a Germany-based aerospace company, forged a partnership with Honeywell International, Inc., a US-based conglomerate. This collaboration's objective was to jointly develop the electronics and mechanical systems for the 7-seater Lilium Jet, an electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. Another notable partnership occurred in October 2022 between BAE Systems plc, a UK-based aerospace company, and Supernal, a US-based aviation and aerospace component manufacturer. This collaboration focused on exploring product development for the future of aircraft electrification. Under a memorandum of understanding, the companies aimed to investigate the creation of electric energy management systems for urban air mobility vehicles.

In July 2023, Safran S.A., a French company specializing in aircraft engine design and manufacturing, completed the acquisition of Collins Aerospace's high-technology actuation and flight control activities for $1.8 billion. This strategic acquisition was aimed at bolstering Safran S.A.'s presence in the realm of mission-critical flight control and actuation systems. Collins Aerospace, a US-based technology company, is engaged in designing, manufacturing, and servicing systems and components across various industries, including commercial aviation, business aviation, military, and defense.

In January 2021, Loar Group Inc., a US-based aerospace and defense company, acquired Safe Flight Instrument LLC. This acquisition, made for an undisclosed amount, was intended to expand Loar Group Inc.'s expertise in engineering, design, manufacturing, repair, and overhaul. The acquisition aimed to enhance the company's capabilities in addressing more specialized manufacturing and technological challenges for its clients. Safe Flight Instrument LLC, based in the US, is a manufacturer of aircraft and flight control systems.
