Aircraft Pumps Global Market Report 2024

Aircraft pumps are devices employed to transfer substances such as water, air, or gas from one container to another within an aircraft. These pumps operate through displacement, ensuring the proper flow and functioning of various systems on the aircraft. Types of aircraft pumps include hydraulic pumps, fuel pumps, waste and wastewater pumps, and others, each serving specific functions to maintain the aircraft's operational efficiency.

The primary types of aircraft pumps are hydraulic, fuel, lube & scavenge, water & wastewater, and air conditioning & cooling pumps. Hydraulic pumps, for example, transfer non-compressible fluid through an aircraft's hydraulic system, commonly used to operate wheel brakes, retractable landing gear, and constant-speed propellers on smaller aircraft. Aircraft types utilizing these pumps include fixed-wing, rotary-wing, and unmanned aerial vehicles. Technologies employed in aircraft pumps include engine-driven, electric motor-driven, ram air turbine-driven, and air-driven mechanisms. These pumps are available with different pressure output levels, ranging from up to 350 pounds per square inch (PSI), between 350 to 1,500 PSI, between 1,500 to 3,000 PSI, and above 3,000 PSI. Aircraft pumps are utilized by both original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and the aftermarket.

This aircraft pumps market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The aircraft pumps market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $3.75 billion in 2023 to $4.14 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to factors such as the expansion of commercial aviation, modernization efforts in military aircraft, the aging aircraft fleet, adherence to aircraft safety regulations, and the emergence of new markets in the aviation industry.

The aircraft pumps market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.03 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.9%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the development of electric aircraft, the recovery of air travel, increased defense budgets, trade and geopolitical factors, and the growth of tourism activities. Key trends expected in this forecast period encompass the adoption of lightweight materials and design, the integration of sustainable and green technologies, digitalization and IoT (Internet of Things) integration, an emphasis on increased reliability and redundancy, and the implementation of pump health monitoring technologies in the aviation industry.

An escalation in air passenger traffic is expected to drive the growth of the aircraft pumps market. The surge in air passengers is a result of increased GDP, disposable income, and improved living standards. Notably, the prolonged lockdown during the COVID-19 outbreak has stimulated a notable increase in both business and leisure travel. This surge in air travel contributes to a heightened demand for aircraft. Aircraft pumps play an essential role in ensuring the proper flow of fluids and gases for the optimal functioning of the aircraft. A report by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) published in May 2022 revealed a significant uptick in air passenger numbers and aircraft flight departures. Comparing January to April 2022 with the same period in 2021, there was a remarkable 65% increase in the number of passengers carried by air and a 30% rise in the number of aircraft flight departures. This substantial rise in air travel and passengers is anticipated to foster growth in the aircraft pumps market.

An increase in aircraft renewals is set to drive the growth of the aircraft pumps market. Aircraft renewals entail the process of renewing an aircraft's registration, which is a legal necessity in numerous countries. These renewals mandate a comprehensive inspection of the aircraft's systems, including its pumps, to ensure their optimal working condition. For instance, data from The Federal Register, a US-based official journal of the federal government, indicates an estimated average of 78,435 aircraft renewals. This figure is derived from the total number of renewals over three fiscal years (235,304 in total, encompassing data from FY19, FY20, and FY21) divided by the three-year frequency at which aircraft owners are required to renew their registration. The rise in aircraft renewals is expected to foster growth in the aircraft pumps market.

Partnerships and collaborations are pivotal trends driving the aircraft pumps market. Companies are engaging in partnerships with aircraft pump manufacturers to expand their market reach and harness each other's resources. For example, in July 2021, McFarlane Aviation, a US-based engineering and manufacturing company specializing in aircraft components, joined forces with C J Aviation. This collaboration is anticipated to bolster C J Aviation's market access and expedite the development and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification of new products for C J's product line. McFarlane's technical and manufacturing teams will provide assistance in these efforts. C J Aviation is a US-based manufacturer and distributor of fuel pumps, smoke pumps, and hydraulic pumps.

Key players in the aircraft pumps sector are venturing into developing advanced pump systems, such as the Pro Series ½ Gallon Air/Hydraulic Pump, to gain a competitive edge and enrich their product portfolio. The Pro Series pump stands as an essential tool for maintenance and repair activities on the ground, playing a crucial role in maintaining aircraft in prime working condition. For instance, in June 2021, Esco Technologies Inc., a US-based company known for manufacturing and supplying tire-changing tools and aircraft pumps, introduced the new Pro Series ½ Gallon Air/Hydraulic Pump. This pump boasts a lightweight aluminum air motor, ensuring ease of handling and transportability. Capable of delivering 10,000 PSI of pressure, it is suitable for a diverse range of hydraulic rams, cylinders, and presses.

In June 2021, Eaton, a US-based power management company, completed the acquisition of Cobham Mission Systems for $2.83 billion. This strategic acquisition is anticipated to fortify Eaton's fuel systems business by integrating Cobham Mission Systems' highly complementary technologies and solid presence in expanding military platforms, while positioning Eaton's aerospace division for future growth. Cobham Mission Systems, a UK-based company, specializes in manufacturing air-to-air refueling systems, environmental systems, and actuation, primarily catering to defense markets.
